Hi,
Can anyone shed any light on this for me?
VMware Workstation 9.
The guest virtual server will be used primarily as a web server.
So, my question is; Will my server 2008 iis web server be able to accept unlimited connections or is it limited to the number of connections that the windows 7 host can process through the network card ?
Can't seem to find anyone who can clarify this, so any answers would be greatly apprciated.
many thanks.
As far as I know, the limit of network connections should depend on what you set on your web server. The virtual machine should not restrict a fixed number of inbound connections. The connections might also be limited from a firewall running on the host or the quest.
If your network bandwidth and physical network adapter does not reach a bottleneck, from the number of inbound connections, then the virtual machine should not restrict any connections being made to it.
Hi JonGUK
Welcome to the communities.
Agree with Rahul .
As its not using RDP services or licenses so number of connection should be unlimited.
Hi,
Thank you both for your replies.
So even though my host windows 7 can only accept 10 connections, the guest server 2008 is able to accept more connections enen though the guest is using the network connection of the host windows 7 system (bridged mode)
i find this somewhat confusing and can't see any "official" answers on this.
thanks
