Unix TCP Equivalent Settings in Windows 2000?

Posted by Cliff on Monday August 23, 2004 @03:30AM from the RWIN-SWIN-and-MTU dept.

sameerdesai asks: "While working on a project that required client-server functionality I was running into processes that wouldn't finish and eventually hang. While running packet tracing, I found out the tcp_fin_wait_2_timeout setting on the server side (UNIX) was too low for the Windows client, and after increasing that value it worked great. I am trying to apply a similar technique for a Windows server and was wondering what the equivalent registry key is for UNIX's tcp_fin_wait_2_timeout setting? Also, is there a guide out there that compares TCP setting in UNIX with Windows?"

Sorry folks, there's just no way this will scale.

there is a very similar setting in windows, just follow these simple steps:
- *reboot*
- insert debian boot cd
- follow prompts, click 'yes' when prompted if
you really want to delete /dev/hda1
- voila, you have similar tcp options available on
you wintel machine
