  The default value is 1.

• Windows CE 5.0 Platform Builder Monthly Update (April 2009)
  
  Fixes made in this update:
  
  By Component:
  
  Component: IE
  090430_KB969498 - This update addresses a number of Internet Explorer issues.
  
  Component: WININET
  090430_KB961887 - If a client connects to a WinInet API that uses KeepAlives, and then has their IP address change, future attempts at that WININET API will fail.
  
  Implement a new feature hidden behind the registry key:
  
  [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings]
  "EnableKillKASocketsOnAddrChange"=dword:
  
  Default setting is 0, which allows WININET to keep KeepAlive sockets open when IP address changes. Set to 1 allows WININET to kill all KeepAlive sockets when IP address changes.
