what does the desktop heap (a GUI thing used to manage window handles)
have to do with network connections?   do you perhaps mean the kernel
paged and non-paged pools?

Windows desktop versions (pro, home, etc) are intentionally limited with
respect to how many network connections can be made as they are sold as
workstations and not servers.   the biggest limit is on 'half open'
connections, which impacts how many connections can be initiated at the
same time.
