SYMPTOMS
Telnet Server may not work after you upgrade from Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 with Services for UNIX (SFU) installed to Windows 2000.



CAUSE
Currently, Windows 2000 servers are limited to two threads for the Telnet Server service. The registry shows that there can be up to 63 connections. Even if you change the registry, there is no effect because of the hard-coded limit.



RESOLUTION
To work around this behavior, reinstall SFU after upgrading to Windows 2000.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.
