Dear All,

I keep getting lots of errors along the lines of :

Sat, 4 Apr 1998 19:11:39  Failed to connect to news machine
news.demon.co.uk : [translating host name to IP address]
Host IP address = 158.152.254.68
... trying to connect
Connection failed - 
 -- Winsock ERROR : Too many open files


The helpdesk suggested (via e-mail) that I increase my files= line in
Config.sys and reboot your PC, and/or in Nts.ini the NumSockets= value.

I have changed the files=60 in my config.sys to files=120. I had a look
at nrs.ini but don't appear to have a NumSockets= value. All I have is:

[WINSOCK]
Stacks=TURNPIKE
Stack=TURNPIKE
Winsock.dll=C:\TURNPIKE\WINSOCK.DLL
EtcDir=C:\TURNPIKE

[WSOCK32]
Winsock.dll=C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\WSOCK32.DLL
EtcDir=C:\TURNPIKE


I keep getting the error (especially in ICQ where I can never send files
out) and need some suggestions.



Thanks in advance,
