Enabling More Than 10 IIS Connections in Windows XP Pro

Published Mon, Jun 7 2004 22:49 | coad

The IIS included with Windows XP Pro is shipped out of the box with a 10 concurrent connections limit. This can be increased to 40 or so. Just download and install the IIS MetaEdit utility, load it up, and change the LM/W3SVC/MaxConnections entry's data to 40.

Thx for the tip. I initially thought this was a hoax but I guess it actually works. Seems like there are discussions about some hard-coded limit coded into IIS, which is why you can't go over 40 connections.
