Dos command to change max tcp/ip connects in WinXP SP2+

Anyone know the dos command for this? I remembered doing this a while ago but can't find that command anymore and would rather do it manually instead of downloading a patch. I think winxp sp2 sets the max connects per second at 10, but it can be changed to anything up to 65535.
 
Not 10 per seconds, but 10 concurrent half open connections. If you connect fast, and they all reply, it will be more than 10 per second.

There is no built-in command to change it. tcpip.sys needs to be altered directly.

^^ Co-signed, you need to get a hacked version of tcpip.sys to overwrite your current version. The problem with that is that you will get warnings from your anti-virus about a change in tcpip.sys, but the performance increase is definitely worth it. Supposedly Microsoft limited the connections for security reasons, but the server packages have much more robust connection limits.

There is supposedly a way to do this in Vista as well.
