윈도우 XP SP2/SP3 인터넷 연결(TCP) 제한 극복3

예전에 올렸던 내용에 추가하여 다시 올린다.

 

XP SP3이 발표된 후에 인터넷 연결 제한 극복 팁이 한동안 무용지물이 되었었는데, 최근에 이를 근본적으로 해결한 팁이 올라왔다.

아예 tcpip.sys 파일을 패치하는 툴이 생긴 것이다.

위 사이트에서 공개적으로 배포하고 있는데, 아래 그림과 같은 UI로 간단하게 적용할 수 있다.

 

아주 훌륭하다.

Program Half-open limit fix intend for changing maximum number of concurrent half-open outbound TCP connections (connection attempts) in system file tcpip.sys.

This limit is entered by company Microsoft trying to make slower virus spreading from infect computer and cut down opportunities of participation of a computer in DoS attacks.

First this limit was entered in SP2 for Windows XP and present at all new versions of Windows. Limit consists that the computer is not authorized to have more than 10 concurrent half-open outbound connections. At achievement of a limit new attempts of connections are put in turn.

Thus, speed of connection to other computers is actually limited.

This limit is especially critical for P2P programs (µTorrent, BitComet, eMule, P2P TV etc.) users. When the P2P program works, pages in a browser can be loaded extremely slowly. The delay before the beginning of opening can make some tens seconds irrespective of your internet connection speed.

Half-open limit fix cleans this limit, that is increases the maximal limit of half-open connections. For the overwhelming majority of users there will be sufficient the limit equal 100.

Half-open limit fix 3.6 (455KB).

 

Instruction: 
1) Extract to any folder and run Half-open limit fix
2) Choose a new limit of concurrent half-open outbound connections quantity and press "Add to tcpip.sys" (for the overwhelming majority of users there will be sufficient the limit equal 100)
3) Restart computer and enjoy

Restart of the program can be demanded after updating Windows or SP installation as sometimes Microsoft replaces old file tcpip.sys on new. If the program will cease to work with updated tcpip.sys there will be a new version on this site.

For Vista and Windows 7 users: Maybe sometime, after updating Windows or SP installation on a desktop will appear watermarks "Test mode". They can appear because in all versions of Vista and Windows 7, except Vista without SP(x86), there is the obligatory drivers signature check, and the tcpip.sys file sign with test signature after patching. Most likely, to make it disappear will be necessary simply once again to patch tcpip.sys.
