not sure the question. but if you are talking about he maximum access
sessions, this may help. quoted from http://www.ChicagoTech.net

The maximum access sessions that are permitted to simultaneously connect
over the network to Windows NT/W2K/XP host are ten (five for XP Home). This
limit includes all transports and resource sharing protocols combined. In
other words, one machine may uses more than one session. To find out how
many sessions are using, use "net statistics server" command on the host.
That will show Sessions Accepted. To check the status of the connection or
which machine is connecting, use "nbtstat -s" command on the host.

If you really mean 'TCP/IP connections' the answer is 'it totally depends on
hardware resources'.

Answer is:
"The TCP/IP stack in Windows XP with Service Pack 2 (SP2) installed limits
the number of concurrent, incomplete outbound TCP connection attempts. When
the limit is reached, subsequent connection attempts are put in a queue and
resolved at a fixed rate so that there are only a limited number of
connections in the incomplete state. " (MS error
VENT_TCPIP_TCP_CONNECT_LIMIT_REACHED )
And this is the error XP gives me. I heard that there is limit for 50
connections. IS thee any way to change that max numnber of simultanious
conections or erase it???
