not put more than 4,500 simultaneous users

Now I have something being shown in the  logs that make sense. But I do not know how to solve them, I tried  everything and nothing changes, I always have the same problem

I have 4  licenses for CLP interactive flash media server and there is no limit. But this morning I received the errors below in core00.log.

Important!

Here's  a detail that I am not using this ip anywhere in our structures:

This is happening  randomly, and has no time to happen. And  when it happens the connections are made with a lot of latency,  sometimes it takes minutes to make new connections in the instance that  gave this error.

If I open more instances  of same application I can open connections normally.

It seems to me that there is a limit of simultaneous  connections per instance created.

There is  another important detail is that now all servers are windows 2008  server. And this application does not consume 20%  CPU and 300MB memory

Hmm... might this be a case of the operating system not being able to open any more sockets?

I haven't worked with Win2008, but on Win2003, the number of available sockets is limited by the size of nonpaged memory pool. While 2008 has higher limits, I don't know how much higher those limits are.

Are you seeing anything in the logs that indicates socket can't be completed (I forgot what the message would be... I want to say something like "failed to attach to completion port", but I might be wrong there... maybe one of the FMS engineers will chime in with the right message to look for)
