We have a script that runs on the server and performs a large number of individual rtag operations in quick succession which generated over 4000 simultaneous connections. The server is CVSNT 2.0.41 on Windows Server 2003, no other apps or servers. Increasing the MaxUserPort value fixed the problem.
