I'm using 3.0. I'll try the 3.1 beta for a while. Wow, you're right about my non-paged pool numbers. Upon restarting my machine I see it's down around 6 or 7 Mb. I'll have to keep a close eye on that to see if I can figure out what's sucking it up.
Thanks for your help. While I suppose I'll still have to reboot whenever this error pops up (unless 3.1 fixes it) at least now I have something to look into. > -----Original Message----- > From: Gianluca Varenni [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Friday, April 16, 2004 8:22 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: [WinPcap-users] Kernel Buffer Error > > > Hi. > > The non paged pool is absolutely too high: on my machine it's > about 10MB, on > our SMP application server is 25 MB... > > In the last mails you didn't corfirm me that you are using > WinPcap 3.1 beta. > Can you please confirm this? > We had a similar problem in one of our old versions (I think > winpcap 3.0 > alpha???), but they have been fixed in the subsequent versions. > > Have a nice day > GV > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Joel Moore" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Sent: Thursday, April 15, 2004 11:31 PM > Subject: RE: [WinPcap-users] Kernel Buffer Error > > > > Ok, it's happened again.
