Vista and our old Friend - 4226 TCPIP in event log

Our friend, Event ID 4226:
TCP/IP has reached the security limit imposed on the number of
concurrent TCP connect attempts.

Has once again reared it's ugly head.
In XP SP2, someone made a little exe to hack tcpip.sys and take care
of microsoft's limit.

I'm aware that coding a patch for a Beta OS may be futile, but:
The XP patcher worked quite well and with different versions of
TCPIP.SYS (It searched the file for the offending parameter)

Anyone aware of a similar fix for Vista?

TCPMaxHalfOpen does not work with Vista, tried just in case.

I'd like to take this opportunity to thank microsoft for creating a
problem where none existed.

Hello, Is there any follow-up to this??? I am suffering from exactly the same
problem. How can you change this setting in the registry or policies on Vista?

It's something *I* want to control to maximise my bandwidth utilisation -
not Microsoft!
