If you are running another completely different process that exposes services to the network (e.g. WinGate proxy server) its rules for connections may be completely different.

There must be a reason Microsoft sold Win 2000 Server. I recall different licenses for Windows NT 4.0 - five and ten licenses. I think it was not a physical limit but rather a "legal one".
