Windows XP SP3 TCP/IP Patcher

it won’t increase “the number of TCP/IP connections allowed at one time”

it will increase the number of HALF-OPEN connections.. meaning you can TRY to connect faster to MORE IPs/ports..

and 500 is just TOO MUCH.. will you TRY to connect to 500 computers at one time? simultaneously????!!!!

it works for people with the smallest bandwith,
and if this is set to 200 you will notice the difference,
cheers

tks,

500 is too much? 8 is waaaaay too few. Bit-Torrent hits this all the time, littering the event logs with warnings. Yes, I can limit the number of connections BT tries to make at once, but why throttle a legitimate application?

Microsoft should have made this a choice, a security policy, not force their opinion on all Windows users. This was set to slow the propogation of worms… if BT can connect to hundreds of users in just seconds with an 8 half-open connection limit, how much do you think this ‘fix’ slows down a worm? In the development world, this is what we call a HACK (in capitals, it’s a hard-coded comment type in Visual Studio).

How ’bout, as a solution, Microsoft patches security holes as quickly as they patched DRM when it was cracked? Or install anti-virus? Or set it as a security policy… I’m okay with MS setting limits as default, providing knowledgeable users can override these as needed.

You’re correct, though, to make the distinction between TCP connections and HALF-OPEN connections… for those who don’t understand the difference, a half-open connection is when your computer has requested a connection to a remote computer, but has not received an acknowledgment back. If the remote computer is overloaded, it can take some time for it to acknowledge the request, during which time your local connection sits there, half open. Eventually it will time out.

This is completely unrelated in any way to the propagation of a worm, except that a worm will make many connection requests. But if all remote computers respond quickly, the 8 half-open connection limit never comes into play.

Hack, Hack, Hack.

It’s like trying to stop speeders by installing a shift-prevention mechanism to keep you from shifting gears more than every 10 seconds. It’ll slow people down on their way to their breakneck speed, but it won’t prevent them from speeding. And all the obedient drivers are inconvenienced for little gain.

Fine.
Disabled my network card, applied the patch, enable again network card, without restarting computer, effect was immediate in emule.

I have a questions, is there a way to know how many half/open connection are used so that the parameter can be fine tuned?

How do I verify the patch worked?

Verify by going to event viewer and there will be no tcpip warning error

The originally number of half-open connections allowed in XP was 65,535. Then SP2 set it to 10 (to pervert the spread of worms and such BS.)

So, 500 is NOT too much. I always had (since levl lords first tcp/ip changer for SP2) set it back to the original 65,535 with no problems.

Also, no disrespect to Hwrm, but lvllord’s SP2 patch still works fine with SP3. It also doesn’t limit you to the number of half-open connections (hwrm’s limits you to 9999), you don’t need to be disconnected from the internet, and you can use the tool to check your half open connections easy after an XP update (which changes the value sometimes).

Wow im so glad I found this blog this post helped me alot.

Cool. Thanks for the ‘lil assistant.

Great~ Really really helping.
ps: fuck the GFW.

I patched it earlier using EvID to 100 by lvlord but my router DSL G604T crapped out on me after a few minutes. Reduced it to 50 and the router stabilized. No apparent change in torrent speed tho. I’m subscribed to adsl 2048 512 at the moment. Any reason why its behaving as such?

Hi guys,

I plan to open a cybercafe with 50 stations. I was thinking of buying Windows SBS as a server due to the limited number of concurrent connection in winxp SP2.

I am using a cybercafe software (truecafe.net) to control all the station. Will this patch solve my problem where I don’t need to buy Windows SBS anymore? Any licensing issue with this?

Appreciate if someone could advice me.

Thanks & Regards,
Mark

I mean can I use Win Xp to act as a Win Server after applying this patch?

yes. It absolutely transforms your XP to a fully working windows 2003 server in no time. It even changes the color of your pants.

glen, you this cuckoo … bozos !

Also, no disrespect to Hwrm, but lvllord’s SP2 patch still works fine with SP3.

What, so it can detect the changed hex string located at a different offset in the file, then? That’s quite advanced…

I am using a AOL dialup internet connection. Will this patch improve my internet speed?
Is it possible to remove the patch later if I decide I don’t want it?

the page is not found, and where can we get this software ?
Can anyone tell me that are this software working absolutely perfect or no?

Cheers mate

sry about the 404, link is fixed now

“By increasing the number of TCP/IP connections allowed at one time, your internet speeds up, especially when you are downloading stuff or playing online games.” “I recommend you to set the limitation to 500 to 600″ – And your dear router will starts to make smoke, completly flooded by hundreds of useless tcp sessions . It’s a myth, it wont help that much. Just get a good torrent with fast and a lot seeders… don’t mess with Microsoft’s drivers. They belong to them and have been signed, your patch compromise that.

Perhaps I’m wrong. Can you show me some proofs?

50 is okay though

I have DDWRT installed on my router, and I can tell you that upping the number of active ports through it from 128 to 4096 (it’s maximum) made a huge difference in bittorrent (30-130 kbyte/second jumped up to 120-1532 kbyte/second, and the network lag went away entirely). Now having this for my Windows machines (and virtual machines) is going to make them a little more bearable on the internet and network.

Thanks.

Hi, Can I also use this patch for patching tcpip.sys in version 5.1.2600.5625? Thanks.
