Title: what does it mean?
Post by: Scan on October 25, 2009, 05:21:08 PM

2 of my system logs says:

"TCP/IP has reached the security limit imposed on the number of concurrent TCP connect attempts."

I Run a Torrent connection by the way for bit torrent.

1-) Does this mean some one is trying to access to my computer?
2-) Or my Computer is Trying to access to some one's computer (E.G bittorrent , Utorrent..etc)

Hello Scan

no one has tried to attempt a crack your pc. but the number of connections your torrent manager using is exceeding the tcp/ip security limit and hence the error.

Hi Scan,

If there is no infection or a worm bot responsible (run Trend Micro RU Botted from here: http://go.trendmicro.com/rubotted/RUBotted.exe )

If not due to malicious or suspicious activity  you can read why this is and was brought in under Windows XP SP2 and further how to circumvent the patch and free more connection limit here:
