This page is quite useful for such search tasks. Thanks anyways for the points... ;-)

if you ever have chance to read kb article Q140552 you will note that includes a number of registry keys and suggestions for editing them and that it applies to NT 3.5, 3.51, and 4.0<br />
<br />
now one of the registry keys is <br />
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControl<wbr />Set\Servic<wbr />es\Tcpip\P<wbr />arameters\<wbr />TcpMaxData<wbr />Retransmis<wbr />sions<br />
now i know from q170359 that this setting also applies to win2k<br />
<br />
however i am also interested in using the following key outlined in q140552<br />
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControl<wbr />Set\Servic<wbr />es\Tcpip\P<wbr />arameters\<wbr />TcpMaxConn<wbr />ectRetrans<wbr />missions<br />
<br />
the nub of the question is - does this setting also apply to win2k?<br />
