Joseph, Thanks for writing. I'm aware of the artificial connection-limit inder W2KPro, but we are running the server product, which admittedly is the Pro product with a few Registry changes and a few things like Terminal Server tacked on. In any case, I don't think we're running into the problem you describe, because we only have 2-3 people at present hitting the box at the same time.

The problem is that Win2K pro only allows a certain number of incoming connections, I believe 10. We saw this during unit testing of components when developers were testing on their own computers (before moving to a QA box). What I don't know off the top of my head, is whether it is possible a setting exists in Win2K server to control the number of connections to allow. Just thought this info might give someone else, or you, an idea or two. Hope it helps.
