    You have run into a SP2 security feature. SP2 limits the number of TCP connection attempts per second to 10 (earlier it was unlimited) to reduce the threat of worms spreading.

    Yea, and really useful that is :eek:

    Don't know what the guy that came up with that idea was smoking.

    So the idea is that you can only infect 10 new systems per second via TCP/IP ?!?

    If each of those infected computers will infect 10 others at the same rate:

    second 1: 1+10 computers
    second 2: 10+10*10 computers (110 new ones)
    second 3: 10+100*10 computers ( 1110 new ones)
    second 4: 10+1000*10 computers (11110 new ones)
    ....
    all the way to 10*60 + 10^60 computers in a single minute (that's a number with 60 digits).
