Download Vista tcpip.sys and UAC Auto Patcher to Increase TCP Connection Limit
Windows Vista TCP/IP (tcpip.sys) and UAC Auto Patcher is a simple batch command script that automatically replaces and overwrites original tcpip.sys in \Windows\System32\Drivers\ folder with a patched tcpip.sys version (included) that has been modified and cracked to unlock and remove the limit imposed on concurrent half open TCP/IP connection attempts that Vista can launch at any one time. Patching the tcpip.sys to remove the restriction potentially yields benefits or solves problems as below.
- Event ID 4226 in Event Viewer that describes TCP/IP has reached the security limit imposed on the number of concurrent TCP connect attempts (more info).
- Slow browsing speed such as web page unable to load or refresh when using P2P applications such as BitTorrent (BT) clients and eD2K eMule client.
- Improve torrent speed and fix slow or even not moving downloading and uploading speed when using P2P programs. (see how to optimize torrent speed in Vista)
Prerequisite to Use Vista tcpip.sys and UAC Auto Patcher
Microsoft has released plenty of versions of tcpip.sys, thus each different versions of Windows Vista TCP/IP and UAC Auto Patcher will work only on certain version of Windows Vista, depending on the variant of tcpip.sys installed. To check the version of tcpip.sys, navigate to \Windows\System32\drivers folder, right click on tcpip.sys and select “Properties”, and the version info will be listed in “Details” pane.
Features of Vista tcpip.sys and UAC Auto Patcher
- Automatically copy and replace tcpip.sys with patched version that unlock TCP/IP connection limit.
- Set the maximum concurrent half-open TCP connection attempts to 50,000.
- Disable User Account Control (UAC).
- Disable Vista TCP Auto Tuning feature to minimize possible networking problems.

Usage Guide / Installation
Unpack and extract the content of the archive, and then run InstallPatch32.bat (for x86 system) or InstallPatch64.bat (for x64 system). Administrator rights elevation required.
IMPORTANT for 64-bit (x64) Windows Vista (RTM and SP1) and 32-bit (x86) Windows Vista SP1:
Windows Vista now require all kernel-mode driver or software to be signed with digital signature in 64-bit Vista, and all boot-start drivers must be embedded-sign with signature on both x86 and x64 versions of Windows Vista. Unfortunately, tcpip.sys is both kernel mode driver, and also boot start driver, and modify tcpip.sys will break the existing signature, making the patched tcpip.sys unsigned.
So when using patched tcpip.sys, users must press F8 at every Windows boot load. When come to Vista Advanced Boot Options menu, select “Disable Driver Signature Enforcement” to bypass driver signing check and continue loading Windows Vista, else there may be boot-failure. The process can be automated with ReadyDriverPlus.
Uninstallation
Run UndoPatch.bat to restore original tcpip.sys (provided you don’t delete the backup tcpip.sys.original), uninstall and remove concurrent half-open TCP/IP connection limit setting in the registry, revert TCP/IP autotuning level to normal, and re-enable UAC.
FAQ and Troubleshooting
- How to change the connection limit to other value?
Users can change the limit to any value by navigating to the following registry key using Registry Editor:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters\]
Locate “TcpNumConnections” registry value and change its value data to number you want.
- I don’t want to disable UAC, how to re-enable UAC?
Run “Enable_UAC_Prompt.reg”, if you no longer want to patch tcpip.sys, run “UndoPatch.bat”. It’s also possible to use tool such as TweakUAC.
- After installing patched tcpip.sys, the following problem exists on system boots up whenever restarts:
Windows Failed to Start. a recent hardware or software change might be the cause. To fix the problem:
1. Insert your Windows installation CD & restart.
2. Choose Language.
3. Click “Repair…”File: \Windows\System32\drivers\tcpip.sys
Status: 0xc0000428
Info: Windows cannot verify the digital signature for this file.Long answer makes short is press “Enter”, or pressing F8 while system starts up, which will display Vista Advanced Boot Options startup menu. Then select to “Disable Driver Signature Enforcement”. See explanation above on usage instruction,
and there is no workaround to this annoyance yetor use ReadyDriver Plus to permanently automate disabling of driver signature enforcement. Else, try out CrackTcpip.sys driver based limit bypass, or make use of fully automated Half-Open Limit Fix which makes used of test cert. - Can I manually install the patched tcpip.sys manually?
Yes. Checkout the manual installation guide.

Yay for patch Tuesday!
tcpip.sys has been updated again, but I’m not sure what version.
When I check the details, there is no information in the Product version (Just blank). The File description, File version, Product name, and Language are all empty as well… What gives?
June 29th, 2008 10:30
The newest version of tcpip.sys in VISTA is 6.0.6001.18063.

Hi there,
I downloaded readydriver and installed it and it loads on boot but it doesn’t seem to have an affect on the driver permissions for windows.
So… I did it manually, changed tcpip.sys to tcpiporiginal.sys and added tcp32-18000.sys to the drivers. Then did the registry patch. Well when I did it I could no longer connect to the internet and I get the message ‘the dependency service or group failed to start’.
Has anyone else experienced this problem and does anyone have any idea how to solve it? To get back on the internet I just undid the patch but i would like to get it working.
Cheers, Rob

I tried version 2.0 on my x64 sp1 vista ultimate. Using the f8 trick, it doesn’t still work. It gives me error 0xC0000359. I had to use vista installation’s repair to recover from it. My tcpip.sys version is 18000. This is very frustrating.
April 3rd, 2008 11:39
here is a perm fix for F8 unsigned driver issue
http://citadel.x10hosting.com/readydriverplus/
Im running with Vista32 Business SP1
works perfectly
Supposedly works on x64 sytems too
March 22nd, 2008 02:37
have the same problem as alex
please release the later tcpips for the x64 systems also. thanks

Once you copy tcpip.sys and you can’t go back if it fails. I get a complete crash even if i revert back to original tcpip.sys. Got error in netio.sys.. so still waiting patch for my vista 64 6.0.6000.16627 version tcpip.sys.
Vista is crap!
February 26th, 2008 22:13
hey is there an easier way to do this whole thing it seems like making an .exe autopatcher would be a better idea and not quite as prone to annoying the hell out of users
February 26th, 2008 22:11
Hello, I have installed update KB946456
how come my tcpip.sys still is version 6.0.6000.16627?

I have UAC set up the way I want it – please don’t fsck with anything but the TCP IP setting! Sure you give a way to re-enable UAC, but I have it set to some custom settings already, and this will probably blow all my work away. As I’m on Vista Premium I’ll have to install another app to get the options I want since group policy editor doesn’t exist.
Please just change the TCPIP and nothing else from now on.

What a disaster windows is. This tcpip stack is so broke I’m considering OSX.
Oh wait, OSX is broke too. Ugh.. why do companies have to be so damn stupid about they treat customers? Let us manage our OWN SETTINGS!
