At most, right now, I'm getting around 87 tcp entries in the netstat table (79 established and 8 in the listen state; also 5 udp entries). When I reach that many I start getting 'connection refused' when trying to go to the host. Is there a tunable parameter where i can remake my kernel to support more connections? any and all help is appreciated? -- chris
