Change or remove the Concurrent Connections Limit in Windows XP
Method 1:
You can use the following program:
Download the software patch XP SP2
- Edit tcpip.sys manually to remove the TCP/IP socket creation limit
Method 2:
Another method that you can use is to modify your tcpip.sys file manually. These instructions refer to the final release of XP SP2, with a tcpip.sys file of exactly 359,040 bytes, CRC-32 is 8042A9FB, and MD5 is 9F4B36614A0FC234525BA224957DE55C.
It is possible that there will be multiple tcpip.sys files in your system, make sure to work with the one in c:\windows\system32\drives\ directory.
To remove the tcpip.sys socket creation limit backup your original tcpip.sys file before you begin the editing, this is very important.
In your hex editor, go to offset 4F322 hex (or 324386 decimal). Then change 0a 00 00 00 to 00 00 0a 00
