Message: TCP/IP has reached the security limit imposed on the number of concurrent (incomplete) TCP connect attempts.

This isn't the only readout; there are numerous, numerous entries to this effect. Could they be playing a part in some slow connections.
Could users using outdated LimeWire programs be slowing down the network.
Zab:

I heard that MS05-025 (6/14/05) Windows Update resets the TCP limit.(for those of us that had disabled it). The workaround program can be found here:

Instructions - Download, unzip and run. To change it back to "unlimited" Type "C", then "16777214", press Enter, type "Y" and finally Enter again. A "Windows File Protection" window will come up, ignore this by selecting "Cancel" then "Yes" and Reboot. This warning is normal since you are editing a protected system file.
