Win2k Server, IIS 5 and Performance Monitor

when i start up the performance monitor, add the current anonymous users under the web process, the number never goes down. even if i turn the http server off for 6 hours, it still stays that "x" amount of people are currently connected. even if i disconnect it from the network it still shows connections? why is this? it seems to mirror the maxiumum connections. any help would be greatly appreciated...
 
also, why would the performance monitor show i have 1200 anonymous users connected, but the logs and also the bandwith don't show this?
 
Unfortunatly, the anonymous visitors is not accurate. You'll notice that anonymous visitors will almost always have the same number as number of connections. Each visitor will make between 2-30 connections. To see all the connections to your server, go to a command prompt and type in "netstat -n". Also, in IIS, you probably have "keep alive" enabled which keeps more connection alive.
 
keep alives are fine. It makes things faster for your visitors so they don't have to reconnect to your server every time they make a request. However, it puts a greater load on your server. If you server can handle it, I'd leave it alone.
 
is 60 seconds too short, is 900 seconds that is the default too long? what would be a good value for this? i have had upto 1500 unique visitors in 1 day with a total of 200000 + hits and the server did fine.
