SUMMARY:
In Progress Version 6.2M20 for NetWare 3.12 with SPX, there is approximately a 90-connection limit when you start the
_mprotli.nlm -N SPX. The operating system limit is 100 sockets.
The OS uses eight sockets. Other applications that use SPX can further decrease the number of possible connections in a client server environment.
SOLUTION:
Novell's patch 312pta.exe from 27.11.96 includes a file called "ipxsock.nlm" that, following an installation of the patech, allows you to increase the number of available sockets with the use of the following console command:
load ipxsock number
Replace the word "number" with the number of sockets you want to have.
For example, load ipxsock 200 increases the number of sockets to 200 and it is possible to have around 190 connections.
