Franz-Leo, the number of unique port numgers  has no relation to max 
number of simultaneous conenctions the system can handle. The 
connection is not identified by local port only but using 4 values 
(local port, localIP, remote port, remote IP) so the theoretical max 
amount of connection for server side is much much higher.

I think the limit is 4000 ephemeral ports not sockets. If you are 
runing server side you are not allocating new (dynamic) port numbers - 
you are just using the same port number (80 for example) as local end 
port.

really? My Windows XP Professional and W2000 Professional allows much 
more connection than 10
