Hey guys/gals,
I am trying to run a program here and my computer told me.." detected windows xp service pack 2 which restricts the number of connections that applications can attempt at once."
my question is how can i change the amount of connections my computer can make? My old computer never had this problem so this is all new to me. I am currently running the piece of crap that is windows Vista..

thanks for the help!

This might work, run the following command in a elevated command prompt:

netsh interface tcp set global autotuninglevel=disabled

Then reboot your system

To get to a elevated command prompt, Click on the Start button, and then type cmd, then press Ctrl+Shift+Enter, then hit continue in the UAC dialogue

Actually, the new TCP/IP stack, of which XP-SP2 and Vista share many common elements, limits outgoing TCP connections to 10. This is an anti-SPAM measure to minimize the damage a virus can do in propagating over the Internet.

hmmm... all this makes very little sense to me?
