Limit on number of tcp/ip 'sockets' provided.

I run an application that uses the winsock interface
version 1.1. This fails if it appempts to listen out
on more than about 80 sockets.
I know that there is a limit on the actual number
of sockets provided by the implementation on 2000
but what is it? and is it configurable somehow?
(Prehaps a registry entry?)

What error are you getting?  There is not such a limit on W2K.  I suspect you have a different problem.

WSAEINTR from 'accept'.
The winsock documentation itself talks about the
possibility of limits on the number of sockets
supported. (section 2.6.7 of the winsock documentation)
