Maximum no. of users in IIS?

[CInman]

Someone told me there is a maximum of 255 concurrent users in IIS - is this right? I find it hard to believe, so thought I should consult the experts

I never heard of that. As far as I'm concern, the only limit is your hardware resources. They will tell you the limit. A+, MCP, CCNA

I have also never seen a max number of users on IIS.
You will have a max because of IP (2**16 - 1.024) or (2**16 - 4.096) I don't remember if it's one or the other.
You normaly only see this limit in large installations on their firewalls.

You can set IIS up to only allow a given number of conrurrent users but I have never used that myself.

I have maxed out at 10 (too many concurrent users) for XP Pro on a desktop developement machine because of any error in my ASP Page during testing.. I believe you must be running on a Server version of the OS to not have the max of 10.

IIS under Windows 2000 Pro and XP Pro has some very low limits. This version is only for personal use not as a web server.

You will need the IIS version that comes with Win2K Server, Win2K Adv. Server or Win2K Datacenter server

Yes indeed XP pro, has limitations and IIS 5.1 and 5.0 has differences.chekc this link

And for IIS 5.0 is unlimited unless you specify the ammount of connections in IIS console.
So 5.1-->10 or up to 40 if modified
5.0->Unlimited if not specified in IIS console. A+, MCP, CCNA
