Fully understandable. > Is there another solution ? I believe it is possible to overwrite the .dll that SP2 gives you with the older one. Obviously you lose any other bug fixes or enhancements Microsoft put in there. I don't remember the actual file in question, sorry. And I don't suppose this is much more acceptable than the previous 'solution'. > Still without the above patch on windows, the software "angry ip scan" > for example managed to output a lot of more socket connection.

This leads to fewer half-open connections. It may also be that it implements part of its own TCP/IP stack, and accessing the ethernet card directly, but I don't know how practical that is for you. Ethereal and nmap appear to do this; you might want to browse their open source code, and/or ask on their mailing lists or forums. -- Ben Sizer -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
