How to use the SP2 TCP Patch
This patch will remove the limits in xp SP2 FOR unresolved, half TCP connections. This limit causes programs that scan and make many connections at once to not work properly. ProxyGrabber, STB, ProxyScanner, and many other programs don't work right unless you use this patch!
Its only if you have XP Service Pack 2!
- Run the program EvID4226Patch. The first option it asks you, choose, "Change."
- Pick a very high number for the new limit, like 1000000. When it asks if you are sure about this, chose , "Yes."
- Choose yes to rename the backup file.
- Close the program. You'll get a popup from windows which will want you to load your xp disk, choose "cancel" then choose "yes" when it asks if you are sure about keeping the new version of the TCP.sys file ( the one you just changed).
- Reboot
Note: I got a virus warning when installing this. I'm pretty sure that's it's due to the fact that it is an executable file that changes the way the OS works. Despite the warning, there was no information on the "virus" at the virus detection software's website. Still, use this program at your own risk
