FIX: Socket Initialization Does Not Succeed if Your Computer Has More Than 50 Network Bound Protocols
SYMPTOMS
If you use the Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1, and if your computer has more than 50 network bound protocols, you may receive the following error message:
System.Net.Sockets.SocketException: An operation on a socket could not be performed because the system lacked sufficient buffer space or because a queue was full.
Reducing the number of network adapters may resolve the problem.
Reducing the number of network adapters may resolve the problem.
CAUSE
This problem occurs because the System.Net.Socket constructor does not succeed if your computer has more than 50 network bound protocols. This problem occurs if you have any combination of network adapters and protocols that causes your computer to have more than 50 network bound protocols. For example, if the computer has 11 network adapters, and if five protocols are bound to each adapter, the System.Net.Socket constructor will not succeed.
