k, here's what I get:



I used black to brush over some personal info, but the yellow is where the command was written.
Also, the switch /v , I think its for verbal, ie. show info on the cmd prompt.


I got XP Pro SP2, I wonder if its exclusive for that only, or naybe is one of those little things I've added byt time.
Little DOS tools.

yeah i know, i just couldn't be bothered searching & wasn't worried about it, i don't care if my system files aren't what m$ says they should be , i disabled quite a few services in xp-pro sp2, was thinking it was either something i disabled or something i didn't have, thanks anyway

You can get the latest patcher here. Sounds like it works with all versions of tcpip.sys, even 64-bit version.

Thanks.

Gotta try this some day.

Right now im using nLite and that does the patching for me.
Alltho, im losing the patch whilst updating.
Well, then I gotta try how this lvl patcher works.

I have this but thought it was oudated based on what IKE mention and Ive yet to try it as its dated over a month ago...

I was thinking the same.

It could work if the lvl-patcher dont change the file,
if it patches it so that Windows Update dont notice it.



Gotta test it some day, im too lazy today, hehe.


(i hear there's windows.update.v6 on the beta testing,
how much that will change the situation remains to be seen also)

Has anyone tried encrypting the tcpip.sys to prevent it from being overwritten?

Find the file in C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers then right click the tcpip.sys, Select Properties>Advanced>Add a checkmark to:[*] Encrypt contents to secure data. Click ok and apply.

I think that will stop the file from being overwrtten but I haven't tested it yet.


Edit: Hmmm Windows wont let me encrypt that file. Maybe some atributes need to changed...

Maybe some atributes need to changed...

thanks for the idea Virtualbody1234, i just had a play with some things and it appears the system can be denied permission to change it
what i did was - turned off simple file sharing(brings up security tab on file properties), found the tcp.sys, properties, security, advanced, under permission entries select system, edit, Create Files / Write Data & Create Folders / Append Data set both to deny, ok, apply.
then i ran the update that resets the tcp.sys back to default, restarted, ran the lvllord patch and when it opened it said - current maximum concurrent half-open connections: 50
do you really want to change this limit to 10
