Maybe some of you have already noticed, after installing Windows XP SP2 some P2P programs are transferring very slow? One reason for this is that the SP2 sets the TCP-connections to 10 connections max simultaneous.
But there is a solution for this problem. A German programmer called 'LvlLord" has made a small program (EvlD4226Patch210a), giving you the opportunity to change the TCP-Connections up to 16.777.214 connections simultaneous. WARNING!! Higher values then 100 are not recommended, because it will make a worm-virus-infection spread very fast!
Below you can read a article from the author himself:
| Event ID 4226 Patcher
What's this all for?
After almost everybody knows the <<EventID 4226: TCP/IP has reached the security limit imposed on the number of concurrent TCP connect attempts>>, I used a day to create for educational purpose a fix for this argumentative feature. Unfortunately there exists no REG-key
which could easily be set (would be so nice and easy, right? *smile*). The
file TCPIP.SYS in the directory C:WINDOWSSYSTEM32DRIVERS and
C:WINDOWSSERVICEPACKFILESI386 has to be changed (system dependend
eventually in C:WINDOWSSYSTEM32DLLCACHE, too).
Needed things:
What's been done:
To say it easy: the before 10 half-open connections are beeing increased to 50 (can be changed with the parameter /L) and the CRC is been corrected. And that's it!
Comment:
The method described here, should only be used by users, who know how to handle all the described. With the download of the here published program the user know, that changes are made on third party files. For damages in every kind I cannot be hold responsible for. Indeed, tests worked fine here. However, nothing is impossible.
Info: When error occurs, the patcher can change the TCPIP.SYS back to the original!
Instruction:
Just download the patcher and execute it. It will automatically find the windows directory and ask, if it should increase/decrease. For higher values, please check the help with parameter /?.
After a successful patch, the new TCPIP.SYS
will be automatically installed. After that, the computer should be
restartet. |
