Inbound Connection limit

D

DavidAdams65

Just realised I have posted this incorrectly elsewhere.

Is the 10 connection limit for all TCP/IP traffic or specifically for file
sharing? I am thinking of putting a Domino server on a system that has XP
installed and was wondering if XP would be able to cope with the clients
connecting. I have read the link to the MS KB article, 314882, and it's not
clear.

The inbound concurrent connection limitation is on *connections*. Any kind
of connection, not just file sharing. You would be better off running a
server operating system on that box instead.

You didn't indicate what version of Domino server you're thinking of
using, but according to IBM, Domino Server 8.0.1 requires Windows 2003
Server SP2 (or 2003 Server x64):

The same appears true for the other Domino versions I checked quickly:

If you want to try using XP, perhaps you should be asking this in a
Lotus/Domino forum instead. The MSKB article is pretty clear:

"The connection limit refers to the number of redirector-based
connections and is enforced for any file, print, named pipe, or mail
slot session. The TCP connection limit is not enforced, but it may be
bound by legal agreement to not permit more than 10 clients."

Thus, the question you need to answer is "Does a Domino server use
"redirector-based connections" or "file, print, named pipe, or mail
slot" sessions? And even if technically feasible, does your company
want to be in breach of whatever "legal agreement" that KB article
refers to?
