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.

RE: [WinPcap-users] Kernel Buffer Error
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.

Sometimes I'll get the following error message from Ethereal (or WinDump) when I try to start a capture session: not enough memory to allocate the kernel buffer The only way to get Ethereal working again is to reboot. Does anyone know if there is a way to deal with this without rebooting? Is anyone familiar with this error? Thanks, Joel Moore == This is the WinPcap users list.
