How can I patch my Windows XP SP2 TCPIP.SYS to allow more half open connections?

You should download the last xp-AntiSpy that has a feature to patch the library to allow more connections. Before SP2 there was no limit for such connections, but it might be better instead of removing the limit to use a big number like 4096. Beware that regular updates can and will revert this change so it's wise to check every once in a while that the limit wasn't reverted back.

It could be that after an update you will need a new version of xp-AntiSpy. Please check their site when you have problems patching TCPIP.SYS. More.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
