Windows XP SP3 TCP/IP No buffer space available
I have the exactly same problem as here: Windows XP TCP/IP No buffer space available
On Windows XP Pro, SP3 if one does an experiment where one tries to open TCP/IP sockets in a loop (bascially, listen port 7000, listen port 7001, etc.)
After approx 649 open sockets, one will start getting errors: No buffer space available (maximum connections reached?)
I’ve tried to edit the registry as described here http://smallvoid.com/article/winnt-tcpip-max-limit.html I set MaxUserPort = 65534 and MaxFreeTcbs = 2000, but it didn’t help.
What else can I do? I need 1000 server sockets.
Here is the error stack:
05.04.2012 10:23:57 java.net.SocketException: No buffer space available (maximum connections reached?): listen

Just in case someone would face this problem too.
Finally it seemed to me that it’s just WinXP’s problem. I’ve tried the same code with more RAM – results were the same. But when I’ve tried it on Win7, everything worked fine even with 1200 sockets.
So, WinXP is just not suitable for such tasks.
