Forum Windows XP : General Discussion IIS connection limit in XP Pro

According to IIS Answers:
~~~~~~~~~
Connection Limits
XP Pro allows 10 connections. This limit is installed by default in the metabase key MaxConnections for W3SVC, and there is no user interface method for modifying the setting. You can change this setting to any number less than 40 and it works, but that is not widely advertised.
~~~~~~~~~
Where is this setting changed? Do you need to edit the metabase to achieve this? Edit a registry setting?
I need to up the number a few because if just a few people look at my test page, it reaches Max connections almost immediately and no one else can log in.
Any info on how to chnage this number greatly appreciataed!

Use Metaedit and go into the metabase and change MaxConnections from 10 to 39. Worked for me....

C:\Inetpub\AdminScripts\adsutil set w3svc/MaxConnections 40

This will give you 40, or you adjust the number to any number less than 40, as desired.

Enjoy! ;)
