Several times. Search your archives for references to inetcfg. One of
the recent threads had the subject:

inetcfg data and query ?

Run

inetcfg

from the command line. Set usage help should be pretty much
self-explanatory. The good news is once you have a copy of inetcfg.ini in
\mptn\etc, can use your favorite tool (i.e. EPM) to edti the file, if you
wish.

After thinking about it, I suspect the keepalive value is probably OK, as
is. There's a similarly named apache configuration item and I confused
the best practices temporarily.

I would drop lingertime to something like 15 seconds. Lingertime is the
time a closed socket is prevented from being reused. This avoids late
arriving packets going to the wrong application.

To make the settings in inetcfg.ini persistent, you need to add:

inetcfg -s all

to setup.cmd or some other convenient script.
