Question:
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?

Answer 2: Hi jrbisk,
Looks like you have tried all of the common fixes for this issue. Let's start with clean booting the Windows Vista computer and see if that has any effect.
Follow the steps below to place your computer in "clean boot"
- Click the Start orb on your Desktop
- Type msconfig in the Start Search box, and then press ENTER.
If you are prompted for an administrator password or for a confirmation, type the password, or click Continue.
- On the General tab, click Selective Startup.
- Under Selective Startup, click to clear the Load Startup Items check box.
- Click the Services tab, click to select the Hide All Microsoft Services check box, and then click Disable All.
- Click OK.
When you are prompted, click Restart.
When the desktop loads, try to replicate the error you received earlier.
If this does resolve the issue, then see the following Microsoft Article on "Clean boot" and the section "How to determine what is causing the problem" to determine which program or service maybe causing the issue.

How to set your computer back, to boot normal:

Click the General tab.

Answer 3: Thanks for the reply. The issue appears to be with VMWare. I have the same issue if I use VMWare Workstation or Server. I found a thread on VMWare's forms saying to disable anything with the word Offload in the advanced properties of my NIC. http://communities.vmware.com//thread/196953?tstart=0
I've been running like this for a couple of hours now and all seems OK. I had the following for my NIC:
"IPv4 Checksum Offload"
"IPv6 Checksum Offload"
"TCP Checksum Offload (IPv4)"
"TCP Checksum Offload (IPv6)"
"UDP Checksum Offload (IPv4)"
"UDP Checksum Offload (IPv6)"
I disabled all of those. What do they do and do I need any of them?
