I have a file server that accepts connections, i would like to limit the number of connections to 45 users...
The �ServerSocket (int port, int backlog)�, does not work due to OS buffers...
Anybody know how to limit the number of connections, then free the connection upon user disconnect. Thx

Why don't you make a threadpool of 45 request handlers, and just notify them when there is a new request.
I think the o'reilly book Java Network Programming has a pretty good example of doing this.

I have no java certifications. This makes me a bad programmer. Ignore my post.
