This is a common misunderstanding about XPSP2. It throttles new connections to limit to 10 ports being unconnected at one time. This is completely different to having 10 connections. It limits how quickly the OS can open ports and attempt to connect to services. It will slow down port scanners for eg. It won't stop them, just rate limit their growth. I sometimes have about 100 connections open now worries. I wouldn't trust any third party `fix' to SP2, esp. as there is no need for it. cheers, davidp. -- David Pascoe, mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED], Western Australia Using The Bat! v3.0.1.33 on Windows XP 5.1 Build 2600 Service Pack 2 ________________________________________________ Current version is 3.0.1.33 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
