Hi,

No, IIS isn't limited in the amount of connections (assuming you're on a
server, on workstations like 2000 Pro or XP Pro you are limited to 10
connections) and there is no way to enable it. The purpose of the server is
to serve - what happens if 3 users behind a firewall/NAT device tried to
connect to a server that limited connections per IP?
