Since a clean install of XP Home Edition and the application of SP2 about 1 month ago, I have on 7 occasions found the following Event Viewer entry: Event Type: Warning Event Source: Tcpip Event Category: None Event ID: 4226 Date: 7/02/2005 Time: 1:50:53 PM User: N/A Computer: WDGR Description: TCP/IP has reached the security limit imposed on the number of concurrent TCP connect attempts. Data: 0000: 00 00 00 00 01 00 54 00 ......T. 0008: 00 00 00 00 82 10 00 80 ....?..? 0010: 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ........ 0018: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ........ 0020: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ........ During the previous 3 years of the original installation I did not once find this entry logged. All programs and applications on the new installation are the same as on the old. Is it somehow related to SP2? The only information I can find about Event ID 4226 suggest this is a warning that a malicious program or a virus might be running on the system, or that it is related to file sharing or P2P programs. I don't use P2P programs or file sharing and haven't had the slightest indication of a malicious program or virus running on the system. A-V and spyware, malware, etc. scans and checks are clear. Any knowledge or experiences regarding this matter would be appreciated.

It is caused from security for sp2 here is a patch towards the bottom of the page. http://www.speedguide.net/read_articles.php?id=1497
