XP Pro's IIS 5.1

I was trying to do a performance test of a .NET Web
Service running on XP Pro's IIS 5.1 and I started to get
an exception (...WebException...Access Forbidden...) when
I run more than 10 client threads concurrently.

I just realise the problem (which I suspect to be) when I
read one of the previous posts from MS MVP mentioning
that XP Pro's IIS 5.1 is limited in terms of connections.
So, does this mean that XP Pro's IIS 5.1 can only accept
up to 10 concurrent requests only?

If my point is right, how do I go around solving this
problem in order to run my test with more than 10
concurrent client requests in XP Pro?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Actually it's 5 connections by default becuse each connection counts as 2
connections

You can't get around it.... as long as you use XP Pro or Windows 2000 Pro...
but you can move to a Server O/S which supports unlimited connections and
unlimited websites.

No, that's not correct.

According to the HTTP v1.1 specification, each HTTP v1.1 client should
restrict themselves to 2 HTTP connections (and utilise keep-alives).

So, each connection does not count as two connections. Each client, usually,
initiates two simultaneous connections, but may not do so (some may open
more, some only 1 - eg if I download a file off your server, I'd only be
using a single connection).

Hi,

As far as i know, you cannot change this limitation. I suggest that you try
this on a server edition instead, with hardware as close as possible to the
actual machine that will run this application, that will give you the best
result if it is working as you expected.
