We are having a major problem. At the end of every day
(3pm to 7pm) we have users that get the error
message "Insufficient TCP sockets are available. Consult
your vendor's TCP/IP documentation to increase the maximum
number of sockets."

This is mostly on the Compaq Evo D500 running Windows XP
Pro. Already have a open case with Compaq. They are at a
loss. I have tried to do a "netstat -p tcp -a", but when
the system gets the error, the system is locked up. Even
the mouse is locked. The only link I've found is

This only references Lotus Notes (Which is our Email
Client). Sometimes reimaging the system with the orginal
Windows XP Pro CD fixes the problem. Sometimes it doesn't.
Windows 2000 doesn't seem to have the problem.

I have been working on this problem since around March 1st
of this year, and still do not know what is causing it.

Our current number of machines with this problem is 20.

This is a public newsgroup, for the benefit
of all. You post here, you read here.

If you are leaking sockets then there are probably a bunch open at midday.
So run netstat then when the system is still functional.
