Those running FaD Q off Win XP Pro

The max number of concurrent connections is 10 but you can change it with a reg hack.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters\TcpNumConnections

I set mine to 20 (decimal)

Do you meen like this

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Servic
es\Tcpip\Parameters\Tcp20Connections

[Fozzie]

the key is already there

Parameters

Then you create a new DWORD value

TcpNumConnections

Then edit that to assign the value you want as your max connections

Just curious, how does this affect FaD? The only place that I know of that it matters is if you are using Azeurus as your bittorrent client, and set the maximum number of outgoing TCp/Ip connections to something larger than 10... (Since you run into the Win XP limit set there in the registry.)

I don't understand the circumstances where the FaD queue would attempt to make multiple outgoing connections to the server....

It is so that the number of connections to the XP workstation can be increased.
You would do this if the Workstation was being used as a FAD Server.

Fad can be setup once on the workstation and lots of other nodes on the network connect to a share and run think.
The one workstation sends and receives all the WU's.
The nodes dont need to have FAD installed and any PC can run fad just by executing \\name ofserver\share\think.

XP isnt really suitable if you have lots of network clients because of the 10 connection limit.

Fozzie posted a workaround to allow more client connections on XP.
