If you want to change it, the official wrap is that you have to buy NT Server for the number of connections you want. I'm sure we all can rant and rave about MS doing this, but it's done. You'll either have to live with it, pay the beast, or hack it. (Which is in violation of the license agreement, so I in no way condone it, but I wouldn't hold it against any of my friends for doing it. I won't tell you how to do it since it involves the registry and can badly mess up your machine.) I know that isn't exactly the answer you were looking for, but that's how it goes. . . I hope this at least helps a little. Terry -----Original Message----- From: Ian Collins Subject: telnetd: All network ports are in use When using inetd (with Sergeys latest - 27 march - patch), after telnetting 8 times to my gnu b19 machine (NT4 Server SP3), I get telnetd: All network ports in use. Where is this defined? How do I increase it? Also, why aren't characters echoed when I telnet to my gnu b19 machine from a unix machine? They are echoed if i telnet from a windows machine (either using Windows telnet or the gnu b19 telnet). Ian Collins.
