Tweak Tcpip.sys on Windows XP

1) Visit http://www.xp-antispy.org/index.php/lang-en/download and download “packed zip archive” for your language (filename is like “xp-AntiSpy_english.zip”)
2) Extract the zip file downloaded (Click “Next” -> “Next” -> “Finish”)

3) Open the new folder created  and double click on the exe (something like “xp-AntiSpy.exe”)
4) Goto (in the top menu) “Special” -> “Connection Limit…”

5) In the new window that popped up (labeled “Attention” at the top), click “Yes, I got it.”
6) Choose the number of connections you want to allow (in the dropdown) (I would recommend at least 100) then click “Patch”
8)  A windows popup should appear that says “The following files have been patched:”, click “OK”
7) Your screen should then look like:

8) Click “Exit”, then close the main window, then restart
You can delete the created program/folder or leave it there.

(Sorry I’m not familiar with Vista)

note: if you install a new service pack or install some Windows Updates you will need to repatch the files.


Hope that helps!
