Connections limited to 5 on TCP/IP

It is a licensing thing. You need to go into License Manager and add the
number of licenses purchased. Let's keep it legal!!!!

The problem you queried about has nothing to do with the TCP/IP address issue
that has been hitting the presses lately. That was related to the number of
unique IP addresses that could be hosted by a single NT Server. The number 5
is the actual number of lines that appear in the Network Configuration dialog
in Control Panel, and even that can be bypassed by making changes in the
registry.
As far as licensing is concerned even that does not apply since adding
additional IP Addresses to the Server does not denote additional connections,
it only makes provisions for connections.
Your problem actual is someplace else. License Manager does not prevent
connections, it is only advisory at this point.
Unfortunately, based on the imformation you provided, It is hard to determine
where your problem is.

Did this version of NT come from the MSDN CD? There are hard-coded limits
for connections on those versions of NT.

Could you be using a 5-user eval of NT Server????? I've seen this before
with the 5- or 10-user limit versions of NT.........

The version of NT that ships with MSDN is hard-coded to accept a limited
number of connections.
