One question about Windows 98 max simultaneous connections

[RJARRRPCGP]

I can't get a straight answer what Windows 98 can support for a max. amount of simultaneous connections with TCP/IP! I even searched with Google.

Some people say a max of a MEASLY 50 and some say a max. of 100. Some others may say more.

4. Increase the max limit for concurrent TCP connections
There is built in a limit for how many simultaneous connections can be made by Windows. This limit can constraining when running a server like MySQL, FTP, HTTP, FileSharing etc. This limit can be changed in the registry with this STRING value :

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \System \CurrentControlSet \Services \VxD \MSTCP]
MaxConnections = "256" (Default = "100")

Note if using Win95 without having Winsock2 installed the datatype should be a DWORD.

Note that there is rumors that it cannot handle a limit beyond 300 connections.

I believe this applys to Windows 98. I do not, however, have a box using it at the moment so I cannot confirm. The key referenced does not seem to exist in XP, though I could be missing something.

On further searching, see

http://support.microsoft.com/?id=158474

Which MS states applys to 98, and it gives a little more info in TCP/IP settings.

Hope this is what you were looking for.
