I'm interested in incoming connections but if you've managed 32 I should be
OK with 20 player Grand Prix Legends races.
Many thanks.

I assume you've been looking at SP2 docs? SP2 limits the number of
outbound TCP connections to 10 - as far as I know, it does nothing to
inbound. This can be "patched" though.. :)

If thats not what youre on about, I know IIS in XP is limited in some
way, presumably the number of connections, but also that file sharing
is limited to somewhere around 10 connections (which includes print
spooling..)

For game servers you'll be fine (although I'd be interested in that
TCP limit), I've had 32 player CS servers on XP before :)
