TCPIP.SYS issues

B

Burleyman

I am getting this warning on all the users I have checked so far (40+), Event
ID:4226, Source Tcpip, and it states TCP/IP has reached the security limit
imposed on the number of concurrent TCP connection attempts. I know it means
that over 10 connections did not fully connect in 1 second (if I am wrong let
me know). What I need to do is to find out how I can increase that amount, as
it is causing problems with my users. I was going to use a hex editor for the
TCPIP.SYS file but I do not know the offset to the area that would need to be
changed. Can someone please help me with something that I can do to increase
this? I really don't want to download some new TCPIP.SYS file from some
unknown on the web, I would prefer something from Microsoft.

Generally, you'll only get this error if you try to connect to a bunch
of computers at the same time (like if you're trying to scan a subnet).
Unless you are experiencing other difficulties, this event is benign
and can be ignored. Microsoft themselves imposed this limit in SP2.
You won't find anything from them. This site might be of help:
