An operation on a socket could not be performed because the system lacked sufficient buffer space or

[Frank Jones]

When I call Dns.GetHostByName(Dns.GetHostName()) on one of our lab boxes I
get the below exception. I've seen posts saying others in these newsgroups
have seen similar issues since moving to .Net. I currently can only
reproduce it on one lab box. The box is running Windows 2000 Pro SP4. I
can write C socket code that works fine - but .Net returns the below. Can
anyone help?


System.Net.Sockets.SocketException : An operation on a socket could not be
performed because the system lacked sufficient buffer space or because a
queue was full

Could this be it? I have 3 adaptors in my system - which doesn't seem to
add up to 50. But it sounds like the same issue. We're running Net 1.1.
