Whats a max stable number of TCP sockets to allocate and any related registry keys ?

Hi chaps,

Am enthused my win98se setup and router all seem to be working nicely with
great thanks to James Egan for his patience with my fuddy duddy diagnosis
methods

About 2 years ago when I started messing with odd bit torrent clients and
possible registry key changes to avoid the dreaded lack of sockets/buffers
it was suggested this couldnt exceed an 8 bit value and somewhere around
the 200 mark was suggested as a stable max,

Given all the time that has elapsed and those that want to keep win98se
running a wee bit longer, I wonder if there is any more general experience
on the issue and if there is any related registry key/buffer setting etc
that might allow stable network operation with more open sockets and what
would a revised max number of open sockets be ?

Surprised me how little I knew afterall about built in capabilities
of windows and my own adsl modem sigh Yeah James was spot on

have a look here

Ah this is great, just what I was looking for, though I am surprised
the entry for the number of sockets is more than 8 bits and as a string,
I was always under the impression 255 was the max and vaguely recall
that anything close to that made it unstable, I'll give it a try
when I have my system under less load, thanks

('suggested' maximums : ) as far as I can see ..its what number will work
for 'you' ...some experimenting is in order :

IIRC I had done some playing and had one system at the 400 mark with no
apparent problems

I'm at 300 now and this seems enough and runs smoothly,
