I'm running Vista Ultimate x64 with SP1 and I'm having an issue with file
sharing. If I try to copy files from an XP machine to the Vista machine, the
System log on the Vista PC fills up with 2017 (The server was unable to
allocate from the system nonpaged pool because the server reached the
configured limit for nonpaged pool allocations) and 2021 and I get an error
on the XP machine about there not being enough memory to fullfill the
request. I have tried a couple of registry entries, like disabling SMB2 and
setting MaxMpxCt to 255; neither of which have resolved the issue. I'm still
able to browse the network from the Vista machine, so it looks like it's only
incoming connections into the Vista machine that are the problem. Anyone
have any suggestions?

Non-paged pool problems are sometimes caused by AV software. What AV are you
running?

I'm not running any AV software. This is a fresh install of the OS; I've
installed twice with the same result.

In Task Manager - View = Select Columns = Memory - Non-paged Pool

Take a look at what is using the most memory. I'd suspect something to do
with the NIC driver but that's just a guess.

I had a look at vmware-vmx.exe is using 175K, svchost.exe is using 80K and
then there are some others under 50K.

I guess I should have mentioned that I'm running VMWare Server 2.0 on the box
as well...

What are the high users of the paged pool?

I'm running 3 VMs on VMWare Server. The Host is a Dell Demension E520 with a
1.8GHz C2D and 8GB of RAM.
These are the top users, but there's about 58 processes running...
vmware-vmx.exe - 176K
svchost.exe - 83K
explorer.exe - 51K
svchost.exe - 48K
svchost.exe - 48K
vmware-vmx.exe - 47K
vmware-vmx.exe - 46K

How much memory is allocated to the vm's? Do you have the same problem if
you shut down some or all of the vm's? Are some or all of the vm's using the
same NIC that is having the problem? Have you tried uninstalling vmware? It
sounds to me like the vm's are IO bound and the host is struggling for
resources. You may be better off asking about this problem in a vmware forum
or newsgroup.

This problem is driving me mad. I use Vista Home Premium 64 on my main
workstation. I have a collection(6 machines) of xp64 and vista 64HP
rendernodes. I am finding that some of the nodes stop getting access to
my workstation HD and as a result can no longer contribute to any
network rendering.

I know this is somehow related to the 10 node connection limit of
windows, but I don’t see how this problem arises fairly randomly
and with only six rendernodes. I am running backburner server and Vray
DR spawner both as services with specified usernames (same username for
all nodes).

In my event viewer I am getting system errors Event ID 2017 “The
server was unable to allocate from the system nonpaged pool because the
server reached the configured limit for nonpaged pool
allocations.” and Event ID 2021 “The server was unable to
allocate a work item 2 times in the last 60 seconds.”

I have also tried the various fixes online that reputedly increase the
TCP/IP limit of a vista machine, but none seem to have worked.
Does anyone know of a fix?


Thanks!
