server busy

I develop (Visual Studio 2003) on my Windows XP machine. Too often I
get 403 "server busy" errors from the web server because I have too
many connections open. It appears that Microsoft has limited the
numbers of connections on XP's IIS to avoid use as a server... an
unintentional consequence is that it is hindering my development. Any
workarounds?

There is a limit of 10 connections on Windows XP. There is no way around
this limitation.

Thank you,

The sub status code for error 403 is 9?

The connection limit for windows xp are setting to 10 but you can increase
this limit to 40 by typing:

c:\inetpub\adminscripts>cscript adsutil.vbs set w3svc/MaxConnections 40
//nologo

PS i suggest to upgrade your os to windows 2003 for more connections :-P

Since someone from Microsoft was kind enough to reply, can you tell me
why Microsoft imposes such limitations on its developers? I run into
this problem at least once a day and have had to take various measures
to avoid it. I don't not want to develop on Windows Server 2003
either, so please don't suggest that next.

It is all about marketing and money... Microsoft can change a lot more money for
a server OS than a desktop OS ONLY if the desktop OS has limitations.

Anyway, why would you NOT want to develop and test on the exact same platform
you are targeting? And don't say it is the cost if you target Windows servers ;)
