    Default TCP/IP Socket Problem

    We are having a major problem. At the end of every day
    (3pm to 7pm) we have users that get the error
    message "Insufficient TCP sockets are available. Consult
    your vendor's TCP/IP documentation to increase the maximum
    number of sockets."

    This is mostly on the Compaq Evo D500 running Windows XP
    Pro. Already have a open case with Compaq. They are at a
    loss. I have tried to do a "netstat -p tcp -a", but when
    the system gets the error, the system is locked up. Even
    the mouse is locked. The only link I've found is

    d97?OpenDocument

    This only references Lotus Notes (Which is our Email
    Client). Sometimes reimaging the system with the orginal
    Windows XP Pro CD fixes the problem. Sometimes it doesn't.
    Windows 2000 doesn't seem to have the problem.

    If anyone has ANY suggestions, PLEASE email me at
    [email]russell.pool@choicepoint.com[/email] or call me at 770-752-4092 as
    I have been working on this problem since around March 1st
    of this year, and still do not know what is causing it.

    Our current number of machines with this problem is 20.

    Default Re: TCP/IP Socket Problem

    If you are leaking sockets then there are probably a bunch open at midday.
    So run netstat then when the system is still functional.
