My colleague and I have a question about the July 06 QFE release
regarding" Windows CE 5.0 device may reject TCP packets when the TCP
sequence numbers become too high", as described in this link
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/922439. We are wondering what sequence
number is considered too high that would caused the rejection? If you
don't know the answer, maybe you can redirect our question to someone
who may know? Many thanks for your help.

Unless there's something in the KB about it, I don't think you're going to
get an answer. The source code for the July QFE hasn't been released yet,
either, so there's little help there. Why do you need to know?

We're getting ready to field units (difficult to upgrade them) and need
to know how serious this is. If TCP breaks, so does our lunch money!

I've never encountered the problem, so it's not a widespread killer.
However, if your device creates and maintains, over a long period of time,
an active TCP connection, I'd incorporate the QFE before shipment, if I were
you.
