On the other hand, we're using about 100 portmaster ports, and also
haven't seen the "unable to negotiate a compatible set of protocols"
except when TCP/IP hasn't been selected, and occassionally (like once that
I know of) when TCP/IP and a bunch of other protocols were selected on a
slow machine. Deselecting the other protocols fixed the problem right
away.
