Dear Pretty,

<Afaik>
That key does indeed control the number of times windows retries to
connect, *but* its not supposed to take that number into account
after it recieved an RST packet, it's supposed to act that way
when no answer is received at all.

pv> TcpMaxConnectRetransmissions
pv> Key: Tcpip\Parameters
pv> Value Type: REG_DWORD - Number
pv> Valid Range: 0 - 0xFFFFFFFF
pv> Default: 5
pv> Description: This parameter determines the number of times that TCP
pv> retransmits a connect request (SYN) before aborting the attempt. The
pv> retransmission timeout is doubled with each successive retransmission in a
pv> particular connect attempt. The initial timeout value is three seconds.
