IIS Sucks
Q: How do I increase the connection limit for IIS 5.1 on Windows XP Pro? (#10253)
A: Windows XP Professional runs IIS version 5.1, which comes with a 10 connection limit. Often that's not enough when you are testing a site from multiple browsers (or multiple locations). You can easily increase the limit to the hardcoded maximum: 40 connections.
Make a command prompt window (start, run, cnd.exe) and issue these commands.
start - run - cmd
(note: for some reason, command acts differently than cmd. not clear why. use cmd.)
cd \inetpub\adminscripts
cscript adsutil.vbs set w3svc/MaxConnections 40
iisreset
The first command connects you to the adminscripts folder. The second command runs a script that sets the MaxConnections value in the IIS metabase to 40 (the maximum allowed). The third command (iisreset) shuts down and then restarts IIS.
