Hi James,

I ran into a problem with this SP2 limitation in work just last week.

All it basically means is at one time you had 10 TCP sockets pending
connection when another socket attempted a connection. This is really
only an issue for any software that attempts connects on multiple
sockets simultaneously (e.g. Port scanners, P2P software, etc.).

I haven't read the full details, but if your software is simply
looking for machines with shared folders then this will not be the
cause of your problem.

Thanks,
Andy.
