msn messenger audio quality decreases because of SP2

[Guest]

I got this from an msn messenger newsgroup:

A few people have mentioned bandwidth reduction as a
possible cause of audio degradation when using MSN 6.2.
They noticed it after installing the SP2 upgrade to win xp.

I noticed the following new feature of SP2 modifying tcpip.sys :

"EventID 4226
TCP/IP has reached the security limit imposed on the number of concurrent
TCP connect attempts"

This measure is taken to retard the spread of worms/trojans etc.

My question is could this negatively impact audio quality in Messenger
or maybe video-conferencing?

Just thought I'd let microsoft know.




I also know someone who said msn messenger 6.2 hangs for about 5 minutes
after she signs into it. It only started happening after she install Service
Pack 2

It's appearing that those that have the problems (such as myself), usually
have dsl with a PPPOE connection.
