IIS Limited Connections

[Guest]

I have IIS 5.1 running WindowXP Professional SP 1a. Once when many users
connected to my web site, I saw a IIS error massage: "HTTP 403.9 - Access
Forbidden: Too many users are connected".
I read the manual how to set connections to unlimited or more than 10. I saw
a screenshot in the manual where I can choose the "Limited connection
setting", but I am havn't this setting I have only "connection timeout"

How can I fix this problem?

What manual? I don't think you read that for WinXP Pro - probably for IIS
itself or another OS version? I believe the 10-connection limit for XP Pro
applies to IIS connections as well as network ones...

Get a server OS.

The manual for WindowsXP Pro located by default here:

Thank you very much

I've never tried this (& didn't think you could do it) but did you see

If you're serious about running a webserver, I do suggest getting a server
OS - or learn *nix/Apache.

IIS on Windows 2000 Professional or Windows XP Professional has the
following limitations:
a.. Limited to 10 connections
b.. Limited to one Web and one FTP server. In other words, you cannot
create additional virtual Web or FTP servers.
