It increases the total number of TCP half-open connections
per second allowed from 10 to 50 (or any other limit you
choose). If you're using a p2p program, and keep getting
EventID 4226 entries, it will supposedly correct that.

Unknown problems? What kind of unknown problems? And it was
never intended as a speed increasing fix, either. I've
never seen any on either XP SP2 or SP3, though on Vista it may
be a different story.

Ok, unknown adviser. For unknown reason we'll not use unknown patch EvID4226Patch223d to unknown OS which allegedly causes unknown problems for your BT without any conformation or a detail.

I use Event ID 4226 Patcher a lot. It causes no issues for me whatsoever.

I don't see Vista on that list, do you?
So the O.P. wants to blame the utility for something he himself mistakenly and erroneously installed.
Go figure.

I only said that because I am not having any kinds of problem with bittorrent or Limewire WITHOUT the silly patch. Good for you for wasting your time on installing a non official tcpip.sys file. I have run into machines with this patch installed with either certain softwares didn't like the modified tcpip.sys or it's missing from the system for GOOD by some AV or something. Replaced the file, all is good.

LOLOLOL U SO FUNNY!!! No, I have heard of this patch for at least 4 years (since SP2 release) and never install or recommend this patch or any other modified files outside of MS. It does nothing but slow down INCOMPLETE half open connections.

There is special instruction on how to install this patch on Vista floating around the 'Net. Search for it in google if you want

This is one of the example of many internet speed tweak guides out there.

Clueless and useless.

So because some random website has a link to the patch, its worthless and he endorses it?

Wow

The connection limit wasn't established by Microsoft without a reason. It should prevent rapid spreading of viruses and worms if a computer gets infected. That's why they limited it to 10 connections at a time... Some applications, like, for example, filesharing tools, can't unfold their capacity when the maximum connection limit is too low. Please don't raise the connection limit if you don't really need it. Look into the event viewer (start->run 'Eventvwr.msc'->system). When you see entries with the event ID 4226, the system is telling you that the connection limit has been reached.
