Not sure if I agree with that one...I'm coding an embedded DOS system with > 20 active TCP/IP connections, all connecting to simulators running on my dev machine. Solid as a rock (well, since altering the damned serial comms library such that it doesn't disable all interrupts which meant that the TCP/IP stack wasn't being serviced by the timer interrupt...but that's another story).dArKr3zIn wrote:
Why on earth can a machine not accept more than ~10-12 TCP/IP connections?

Hi Royston,
There is a limit to the number of network connections to log into a central server box, for example. I can't remember the exact amount, but I think it's between 10 and 12. We encounter this problem at work every day (we're waiting for an opportunity to set up our main in-house server with Linux).
