Have you looked for WSAECONNREFUSED and WSAENOBUF in Google or at the
MSDN site. MSDN didn't yield up any treasures for me, but Google
found these two.

0914 » WSAENOBUFS (10055) error.

If you take out your Captain Video Secret Decoder Ring, it becomes
clear that this means:

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

Not much better.

If you are trying to use an ephemeral (short-lived) TCP port above
5000, this may explain the message. By default, Windows NT 4.0 only
supports 5000 ephemeral TCP ports.

You can increase this by navigating to

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters

Add Value name MaxUserPort, a type REG_DWORD, and set it to some decimal
number in the range of 5000 - 65534.

Once a port is closed, it takes 4 minutes (240 seconds) before the system
will reuse it. You can alter this behavior if you

Add Value name TcpTimedWaitDelay as a type REG_DWORD and set it to some
decimal number in the range of 30 - 300 seconds.


DISCUSSION

Receive the error "Socket RECV error 10055" on
connection attempts.

RESOLUTION

This is a problem with the stack buffer size and some
TCP/IP stacks. To resolve this problem simply add the
following line to your HOSTEX.INI file in the

[System.Settings] section : Max Winsock Receive Size = 4096
