[mejh]

Hi,

Anybody knows if Internet Explorer can be configured to open multiple
simutaneous connections to a Web site?

Thanks,
Eric

How many? RFCs and 'polite internet usage' stipulate no more than 4.

Hi,
Well, I checked RFC2616, there is says "a client should not maintain
more then 2 connections".
I like to know what the setting is for IE6, and if that can be
adjusted, or that is is fixed programmed.

Thank you,
Eric
