Had exactly the same error report in Event Viewer myself after a recent
re-install of XP Pro with SP2.
At the same time my ADSL modem was dropping it's connection frequently so i
set about investigating.

After much time on Google i found the EvID4226Patch.exe from:
http://www.lvllord.de/

I patched my PC with a new limit of 96 maximum connections - the default
with XP and SP2 is 10 i believe.
Event Viewer no longer showed the 'TCP/IP has reached the security limit
imposed on the number of concurrent (incomplete) TCP connect attempts.'
error report.

My modem still was losing it's connection though - the cause not being the
TCP/IP connections limit as i'd suspected but something else which i've
since fixed.
