I sometimes receive “SpoonProxy V2.0 Socket Error” with the suggestion to either “map fewer ports” or to “increase the maximum number of connected sockets” on the proxy machine. What does that mean?
One of the most common reasons for that error is a lack of resources on your server system, so it’s possible that increasing the memory from 40Mb could help. You could also go to WinNT 4.0, which has a more dynamic scheme for managing connections. If your server is running Win95 or Win98 and the MS TCP/IP stack, you can increase the maximum number of connections by adding a registry entry. Using RegEdit, add a value called MaxConnections to the following registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\VxD\MSTCP For Win95, the value should be added as a DWORD. For Win98, the value should be added as a string. 100 decimal is the system default when the value is not present, so you want something larger than that, such as 256. After you add the value, restart Windows and you will be running with a higher maximum number of connections.
