Hi Graham,

For winsock applications you need also to set two more variables:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Afd\Parameters\DefaultR
eceiveWindow
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Afd\Parameters\DefaultS
endWindow

Both of type REG_DWORD.

I don't know if it applies to you, but NT4 SP5 has a math error in its tcp
stack that causes the retransmit timer to be incorrectly computed, leading
to unnecessary retransmissions. There is a new tcpip.sys file that fixes
that bug. If you need this file and also the MS bug report regarding this,
please let me know.

Regards,

Marcelo M. Reis
