No. The limit is 10 connections for SMB file/print/IPC, not general purpose TCP/IP connections.
The default connection limit for IIS on Windows XP is 10 connections. This can be increased to 40 connections, but not higher than that.
From http://weblogs.asp.net/cazzu/archive/2003/10/10/31476.aspx:
Find the adsutil.vbs script (should be in c:\inetpub\AdminScripts or similar) and run the following command:
adsutil set w3svc/MaxConnections 40
Besides the obvious answer of purchasing a Server OS, you might be able to use Apache for Windows (if you aren't running ASP.net apps), since I believe it does not have the same limit that IIS has.
