Thanx for ur wonderful effort.I feel sorry for u.

Some people here just don’t get it.

[1] A decent Anti Virus WILL detect this file as a VIRUS. Simply bcz it alters TCPIP.sys [ Which in this case is NOT bad ].

[2] A network administrator should’ve known that this thing is not suited for a network

I had to uninstall my BitDefender Total Security just to run this.

It’s worth it guys

SORRY!
After initially approving it I am taking back my comments on this patch.

I have observed it’s behaviour. Although it DOES change the max no of open connections in TCPIP.sys, it’s a virus.

Bit Defender kept blocking it from executing itself several times, even hours after I applied the patch.

[ Though I did delete the patch after applying, it copied itself in to c:\...System Volume Information and repeatedly tried to execute itself; a typical behaviour of a Trojan ]

Does this patch work for vista home premium? I’ve been looking for a simple patch to increase the number of connections, so I hope this works for vista. Otherwise I have to follow a nine step guide.

184 Dec 31, 2007 at 02:52 by Vista User

‘ello there mates!
im using vista and well to say the least it sucks do not buy! SO yes any way is there any hope of them putting out a new patch that can work with this devilish excuse for a os?

KB932596 and Vista 64 TCPIP.sys connection limit patch
Here’s the problem! If you’ve patched your Vista with the connection limit patch, beware! Either do not install this KB932596 update or unpatch it and then install the update. However, also beware that the patch won’t work even if you re-patch it after installing this new update. The signature of the tcpip.sys file has changed with this new update [Update: I've made a wrong assumption and has posted the right information for the KB932596 update here. Sorry for the wrong information here]. Therefore, you’d need to wait till a newer version of the patch is released.

For those of you who are as unfortunate as I was without connection for a while (till I figured out how to undo the damage), here’s how you can get the original tcpip.sys file back working.

One way, as I found out to work, is to simply just disable the driver signature detection system during booting up of Vista. You can do this by invoking the boot menu by pressing the F8 key just before Vista loads (the same method to get into safe more) and choose the option do just that. But of course, I have no idea what else was changed in the latest version of tcpip.sys that’s been updated with KB932596, so this may not be the best solution.

The other would be to uninstall KB932596 and restore the original tcpip.sys file. You can do this by going to the Uninstall Programs option in the Control Panel and uninstall the KB9325996 update. Once you’ve done that, restart Vista. Next, run this command “sfc /scanfile=c:\windows\system32\drivers\tcpip.sys” to get Vista to scan for the ‘corrupted file’ and restore it with the original file. Restart Vista again. The finally, reinstall the update via Windows Update.

So with this, I’m giving up Vista as the main machine to run torrents. It’s just too much trouble to keep using new versions of the tcpip.sys patch everytime Microsoft decides to update the tcpip.sys driver.

i dounloaded it now what do i do next ?

191 Jan 09, 2008 at 20:13 by nubie

doesn’t work for me…don’t know why but i just downloaded the patch and extracted the file opened the program followed the instructions there…

I did a lot of reading about this patch, and after weighing the pros and cons, decided to back up and give it a try. First off, the latest edition of NOD32 did NOT detect the patch as a virus. Second, it worked flawlessly, and I changed the connections to 100 with no difficulty. Third, after rebooting, I was able to up the connections in Azureus to 100 (instead of 8!) and this significantly raised my download speed. Finally, I changed the max number of connections within Firefox to 100 with the Fasterfox add-on, and watched webpages load much, much faster, which made my newly upgraded broadband connection complete (and worth the money.) Note: My version of the TCPIP.SYS file is (5.1.2600.2892), and the patch had no problems with this. Last, but not least, the error messages in the Event Viewer log disappeared. In conclusion: problems - none. Is the patch worth installing - yes.

I received the following batch output when attempting to apply this patch…doesn’t sound good.

del tcpip.sys
copy tcpip.sys.original tcpip.sys
- After that you can restart your computer as normal.

Any ideas what to do now to get this patch working?

[quote comment="117029"]Hi
I downloaded and unzipped this patch but but when I try to run the .exe nothing happens. Does anybody have this problem? thanks[/quote]
where the fuck do u put this crack there isnt anywhere i know off

195 Jan 13, 2008 at 12:24 by Toejam31

Sounds to me like you may have two problems. First off, the patch may not support modifying the 5.1.2600.3244 build. The last update I see on the http://www.lvllord.de/ website describes how the patch will still function with the (what is now an older) 5.1.2600.2892 build, but that update/comment was as of 2006-06-16. Second, it’s fairly obvious that Windows File Protection is replacing the TCPIP.SYS file with another copy from elsewhere on the hard drive. I ran into a similar situation when I wanted to install Starskin (a desktop theme manager) and had to patch the uxtheme.dll file. The only workaround was to search for all versions of this file and rename them … only then could I add the patched file, as illustrated on this page: http://themes.belchfire.net/index.php?showtopic=9001&pid=11859&mode=threaded&start=. I suspect that you’ll have to do something very similar in order to keep the OS from interfering with the patching process.

mmmmm you know theres a worm in this file when you instal or what ever but youll be fine if you have a virus protector that can find it right of the bat but in all ends it works good

“This doesn’t work!!! Don’t waste your time. I was getting 150KB/s and now I am getting around 50KB/s.”

Is that true??? I want to know!!!

200 Jan 31, 2008 at 21:40 by THIS IS NOT A FAKE

Is strange for me…

At the begining i was scared coz the stability of the system, then i tought it was a virus, but my NOD32 didnt detected like it.

Then i saw that i was downloading at 230 Kb/sec, when i had a 2MB internet speed.

So my internet conection is 110% efective.

Thanks
