Hi,

Read the documentation in the KB article. It is not a issue or a patch. It
is a simple registry tweak that replaces the MAX_CONNECTIONS hack that has
been around since IE5. See Kelly's Corner.

For the majority of uses, the factory settings for the number of con-current
connections is adequate. There are reasons why the factory settings are the
way they are otherwise it would be designed to allow an unlimited number of
connections.

My guess is that you have a 'Download Manager' installed (which don't appear
in the IE Addons Managers list of Addons and so cannot be disabled from the
the Addons Manager or the No third-party extensions setting or the Win7 IE
troubleshooting wizard)
Or
You are using a chat program (perhaps Messenger, AIM Buddy, Yahoo Messenger,
ICQ) and regularly starting up broadcast file transfers to all your friends,
blowing away the MAX_CONNECTIONS limit. (this would explain why your
'friends' IE browsers are also crashing, you are pushing 5 or 6 file
transfers to them at once).

The important thing to find out is 'why' because the Troubleshooting
wizards are not detecting and correcting the issue. Knowing why your issue
is occurring will help MS tune the IE Addons Manager or the Troubleshooting
wizards to detect and correct the issue automatically.

I already know that the IE Addons Manager does not detect and disable
certain types of 'Download Managers'. This may be the real underlying issue
that has to be addressed rather than offering an obscure 'FixIt' patch.
Without your co-operation I am only guessing.

G.T has already explained why you have received such a cold reception to
your posts (hijacking threads, poorly worded descriptions). Ok, you have a
learning curve to go through in order to make a quality post. As I first
said to you "The quality of our answers will depend upon the quality of your
Questions"

And not quoting the entire post to which you were replying. Most of us here
do not access this newsgroup via the clunky web-interface you use.

hi rob,
i have repeatedly said that ie8 has not crashed
no download manager.
no chat program on one and messenger on one but i dont chat online with
these 2 windows 7 computers, i chat using the windows vista computer only for
now
no streaming video or music.
again let me state that i have repeatedly said that ie8 has not crashed,
just with open page number 4 i get the cannot display the page message and
the diagnose connections button and it ALWAYS says there are no issues and to
explore other options or close. open windows 1-3 continued to work
normally...number 4 gave me the error message and i just closed that window
and used the 3 open ones that had no issue.
after a year (almost) of getting no where with that cannot display the page
diagnose button or the ie troubleshooters in control panel and going thru
every single thing you all have suggested again and again and formatted and
started over fresh and with av installed and with no av installed same
problem i came here looking for help and ever since i ran that microsoft fix
it my problem has disappeared on the 2 computers with win7 that i am now
using (another one has windows vista and another has windows xp pro with sp3
and all current updates both without ie8).
i have not spoken to my friends yet to tell them what i did.
so for ME the issue is closed because im happy now that ie8 is working fine.
right now i have 6 open ie8 windows and everythings working fine, 2 days ago
i could only have 3 open ie windows.
let me say that all in all i do find your posts give me more things to look
into than all the others combined and i thank you for that.
and i swear this is the last post from me on this issue.
thank you all for all your posts

A problem with that feature is that it uses a different program than the one
you are having trouble with (iexplore.exe). Hence it would not be affected by
the connection limit.

Also, what kind of connection link do you have? E.g. dial-up or broadband?
Dial-up is still constrained to 2 connections having the same endpoints.
In IE8 this supposedly has been loosened for broadband...

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/libr...,printer).aspx

(BING search for
broadband max connection limit "dial-up" site:microsoft.com
)

<quote>
The maxConnectionsPerServer attribute will return 6 on a broadband connection
unless a user or an administrator has overridden the default settings.
If the client computer is connected through dial-up, maxConnectionsPerServer
will return 2 if connected to an HTTP 1.1 server or 4 if connected to an HTTP 1.0 server.

I suggested doing some diagnosis. You would only have to do that once
if you could draw the correct inferences from it. ; )

hi robert...i have roadunner high speed, and ever since i applied the fixit
the problem cleared up. and for those who dont believe that fix was the
solution, my friends have applied that fix and now they all no longer have
that problem either.
and my friends isps are
roadrunner in florida, north carolina
comcast in florida, new jersey
verizon in new york, new jersey
earthlink in florida, new york, new jersey, north carolina
all are high speed.
our problem was solved by that fix and all is well now.
thank you for reading this solved issue.

Your machine (and your friends) is now a zombie and at the beck and call of
a East European hacker. I will keep an eye out for spam from RR email
addresses at my honey pots. (earthlink is a popular spam source also).

Rootkit attacks are not removed by a re-format or system restore.

Although I could be wrong... I am not sure how hardened Win7 is against it.
But probably if it has been on your machine since the Win7 RC's, and
undetected, it will still be there now after several upgrades and
re-formats.
