if the client freezes try setting this too 60 and below.
Which network cards have problems with more than 60 connections? I have a cheapo network card in one of my computers with a Realtek 8139 chipset that can handle almost 100 peer connections just fine in Windows *98* out of all O/Ses (after 100 peer connections, windows 98 blue screens and the network stack dies. heh. In my case, I wish there were a setting of "80" max connections so I don't lose out on as many peers when limiting in windows 98 ). There has to be something else causing people's freezes and internet connection droppage if anyone is using anything with a better network stack than Windows 98 (such as Windows XP) and using a better network card than any Realtek 8139 based ones unless network drivers are getting worse these days.
