> The server creates a new thread to accept a client connection.

You said that you are using ICS.  ICS does not use separate threads for each
connection.  Even if it did, though, the server has to call accept() first
for each connection, and that occurs in a different thread than the ones
that are created to service the clients after they connect.  My earlier
comments still stand.

That is determined programmably by the server when it begins listening for
connections.  It passes a parameter to listen() to specifies how large the
queue can be.

> Is this a tunable parameter elsewhere?

Use the ListenBacklog property.

> Someone from the ICS user group told that can be a registry setting.

They are mistaken.
