IIS & XP

Number of users

[Knowles]

Does anyone know if there is a way around the max concurrent members allowed on IIS 5.1 on Windows XP Pro?

Also what constitues concurrent users? Is it loading the page or the total time the page is open?

You can change the metabase info to set the maximum concurrent connections to anything up to 40. By default it's set at 10. If you want more than 40 concurrent connections, you'll have to shell out and buy Windows 2000 Server or above.

Thank you I will try that to see if that works.

If you have http keep-alives enabled, then I think (though not sure) each one of these is counted as a concurrent user.

I kept getting the too many users status error when testing a PWS site with multiple browsers. Turning off http keep-alives has cured it. HTH.
