  1. well you can try it for a bit to see if it really is the firewall that is blocking your programs from making new connections. if it doesn't make any difference after you disable it, then we can rule out the firewall as the cause of the problem.

  2. actually, cable modems aren't really routers. only dsl modems act as routers.

    i'm currently using utorrent and emule with 4 half-open connections for utorrent and 4 half-open connections for emule. i'm getting the 4226 event id only once a day. but it doesn't kill my net connection. double check your other apps to see if they aren't hogging your half open connections.

    and if you still are having problems, the last thing you can do to try to resolve your net problems is to turn of vista's auto tuning.

    Turning off auto-tuning is a simple command line command (running with Admin rights):

    netsh interface tcp set global autotuninglevel=disabled

    and to enable again:

    netsh interface tcp set global autotuninglevel=normal

  3. i had the this same exact problem. in order to resolve this, they say you have to disable spi in your router. it has something to do with vista's tcp window scaling not being compatible with most routers. although sometimes that doesn't fix it completely.

    for my router (linksys rv042), i had to disable the router firewall completely and i no longer have connection problems. try either one and see if it works for you.

    as soon as linksys updates their firmware for the rv042 to support tcp window scaling, i should be able to enable the firewall again.

  4. yup. i have it set to 80 which is fine for my XP.. i dont wanna set it to less than 10, just because of vista though..

    set your half open connections to 4 in your bt client and you should be fine. i had mine set at 100+ on XP with the 4226 patch but without the patch, you can't have anything higher on vista without a patch.

  5. thanks for the info. i figured out why my connections were timing out. everything else but internet explorer, or course. it was because i had SPI enabled in my router. i disabled that and re-enabled auto tuning and everything seems to work fine now. thanks.

  6. well i've been searching around and found that disabling tcp auto tuning helps out alot. (although it doesn't have much to do with my original post)

    A known bug in Vista's TCP stack has not been fixed for RTM. The network throughput suffers immensely (ie. is very very slow) for Vista machines when stateful packet inspection (SPI) feature of the certain firewalls (Checkpoint is one) is enabled. This is due to the new autotuning feature of the TCP stack in Vista. Microsoft took some liberies with the RFC specs to gain a little bit of performance, where as some firewall vendors don't allow for those types of changes to the TCP streams. Always check with your firewall vendor to see if there is an updated firmware available which handles Vista correctly. If that fails, you can fix this problem on Vista itself.

    To fix this problem on Vista itself run the command below from an elevated command prompt (ie. Run as Administrator on CMD):

    netsh int tcp set global autotuninglevel=disabled

    Then reboot.

    Your should see an imediate difference.

    Check your throughput with MySpeed (try before and after to see the difference).

    NOTE: this only fixes the SPI issue. It will not help gain performance under other circumstances.
