Connection Limits (Maximum is 2?)

[Aaron Pfeifer]

Hi,

I'm currently running a load test in Visual Studio 2005 (Academic) / .NET
2.0 against a web service written in c# (.NET 1.1). However, I'm only able
to hit the web service with a maximum of 2 simultaneous clients. Now I know
about the System.Net maxConnection property for ConnectionManagement.
However, setting this property does not seem to resolve the problem.

I've got the same test application written in Visual Studio 2003 / .NET 1.1
running against the web service with the maxConnection property set to 100,
and it works fine (i.e. I can get up to 100 simultaenous users).

This is my configuration file for .NET 2.0:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configuration>

<!-- ... Nothing important here ... -->

<system.net>
<connectionManagement>
<!-- The total number of maximum connections allowed to a
host -->
<add address="*" maxconnection="100"/>
</connectionManagement>
</system.net>

</configuration>

The tests are being executing using Visual Studio 2005's testing framework.
If anyone has any insight into this problem, I'd greatly appreciate. Thanks
in advance!

Aaron
