TCP/IP Buffer Space in Win2KServer

I am configuring a Win2K server- not really my area of expertise, but its a good opportunity to learn..!

I keep getting errors, however, which I assume are to do with TCP/IP. Specifically, failures to initialise from my Mail Server service (FTGate from FloosieTek) and to connect to various TCP/IP based services/tasks (ie everything of much consequence - Explorer browsing the network, IE, all sorts)- even itself! Reports vary from "Unable to initalise service due to insufficient TCP/IP buffer space" to an informative dialog that states "Insufficient Quota to perform this operation". I must be doing something wrong. But what is it..?

Any ideas/help much appreciated,

Ben Thomas.

Hi Thomas,

One thing you can try to do is to change the IP buffers sizes in the Registry.
Here is an example of registry key to change.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters]
"ForwardBufferMemory"=dword:02440000

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\NetBT\Parameters]
"MaxDgramBuffering"=dword:04000000

The best is to create a REG.INI file containing all the above information to change.
Please e-mail me, and I'll send you a copy of this REG.INI file.

Best Regards.
