Chryss Posted August 27, 2008 Report Share Posted August 27, 2008 Hi all, I recently did some windows xp (home ed.) updates and have noticed I'm now getting too many tcp/ip connections (Event ID 4226). I did not have this problem with 1.8 prior to the windows updates. My net max half open is set all the way down to 3 (was at 4 when I began noticing the problem) and I'd never had this issue before. Anyone know if there's a recent hotfix that could be to blame? My speeds have also gone way down when the 4226 errors occur (which is very intermittent) despite having just upgraded to a 16M/2M connection. I'm not being throttled, know that for sure. I am using Switek's suggested settings for xx/1Mbit (don't want to use up my full 2M ul speed). I have avast antivir, no software firewall, dgl 4100 router with correctly open port.

Switeck Posted August 28, 2008 Report Share Posted August 28, 2008 Event 4226 errors are not how many TCP connections you're receiving...it's when the number of new connections you're trying to make outgoing AT ONCE is exceeding window's limit.Check other network-using software to see if it's making lots of outgoing connections too.TCP View is useful for that task.

Chryss Posted August 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2008 Sorry, that is what I meant to say, just worded it badly. The only other programs making tcp connections are avast, firefox, and yahoo messenger (aside from a few windows components) and none of them have very many.

Switeck Posted August 28, 2008 Report Share Posted August 28, 2008 uTorrent v1.8 and even it seems the current v1.8.1 betas have issues with causing 4226 errors when they are set under windows limit. It's compounded by bugs in Windows XP/Vista not handling the extra connections correctly.I hope there's a solution soon. All the strange problems people are having may be somehow related to that.Do you have DHT, UPnP, LPD disabled? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chryss Posted August 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2008 Yes, they are all disabled. If it helps at all, I didn't get this problem until I did the following windows xp updates:(KB952287)(KB951072)(KB950974)(KB953838) (KB952954)(KB946648)(KB951066) (KB890830)(KB953839)(KB951748) (KB951698)(KB951376)(KB950762)(KB932823)(KB948590)(KB945553)(KB941693)(KB892130) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted August 29, 2008 Report Share Posted August 29, 2008 Try 1.8.1 12024. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chryss Posted August 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2008 Hi, Firon. I'm happy to try it but the latest beta I'm seeing available for download is 1.8.1 11962. Am I looking in the wrong place? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chryss Posted August 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2008 Well I've updated to the beta. Download speeds are vastly improved, however I am still running into the tcp limit issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted August 29, 2008 Report Share Posted August 29, 2008 Is uTorrent's net.max_halfopen value set to 8 or less? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chryss Posted August 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2008 Yep I've got it all the way down to 3. Had it at 4 prior to the 1.8 upgrade with no problems, lowered to 3 when the tcp limit errors started, and am still getting them. Upnp is off, DHT off, resolve countries off. PEX is the only thing on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted August 30, 2008 Report Share Posted August 30, 2008 Only things I can think to check are other internet-using programs...and software firewalls.TCP View, Process Explorer, and HijackThis! are tools for that job.1st link in my signature for how.
