Error: No buffer space (10055)?

[EPPack]

Recently when scanning for inbounds, all my EP 5.1 personalities will
randomly fail immediately with an error message stating: No buffer space
(10055). This message isn't in the help, nor anywhere on the Eudora site
that I could find--I'm wondering if it's a new one? Or maybe an old one :)

I'm running on a Gateway 400mH 128MB system with 10GB hd (about half
filled), so it's probably nothing all that obvious. I keep my temp files
scrupulously cleared out, etc etc. My system resources tend to run fairly
low (35-50% or so) but I'm used to that. Restarting Eudora sometimes clears
the error up, sometimes doesn't, but almost always a reboot does, making me
think that resource-hog Eudora has maybe hosed me again? Still, that error
message is a mystery.

Any ideas anyone?

TIA

Error getting a network socket. Cause: no buffer space available (10055)

Check this out..

WSAENOBUFS (10055) No buffer space available.

Berkeley description: An operation on a socket or pipe was
not performed because the system lacked sufficient buffer
space
or because a queue was full.

WinSock description: Same as Berkeley. The WinSock
implementation was unable to allocate additional memory to
accommodate the function request.

User suggestions: This error indicates a shortage of
resources on your system. It can occur if you're trying to
run too many
applications (of any kind) simultaneously on your machine.
If this tends to occur after running certain applications
for a
while, it might be a symptom of an application that doesn't
return system resources (like memory) properly. It may also
indicate you are not closing the applications properly. If
it persists, exit Windows or reboot your machine to remedy
the
problem. You can monitor available memory with Program
Manager's "Help/About..." command.

WinSock functions: accept(), bind(), connect(), listen(),
send(), sendto(), socket(), WSAAsyncGetHostByAddr(),
WSAAsyncGetHostByName(), WSAAsyncGetProtoByName(),
WSAAsyncGetProtoByNumber(),
WSAAsyncGetServByName(), WSAAsyncGetServByPort(), FD_CONNECT

Additional functions: Any other functions that use network
system buffer space, like the "database functions",
setsockopt()
with SO_RCVBUF or SO_SNDBUF options.

Cheers,
John

Um, OK, thanks for the replies, but I'm still kinda in the dark here :) Does
this mean that the problem is indeed with MY PC's system resources as I
suspected or is it a server issue, or what? A translation, please??

Thanks!

Bottom line is, it is a system resource problem. Remember
this is separate from "not enough RAM". The system Resources
is fixed by your OS.

Try dumping unnecessary background programs and drivers.
HTH,

You are not alone here, I believe this is a google bug, and a nasty one at that. After installing google photos backup my system would randomly fail networking. Oddly I could do pings (UDP) but all my browser connections would fail. I found out that trying to make an SSH connection gave me a "Network Error: no buffer space available", and in looking that up found the the recommendation to kill processes until you find the app that's leaking that system resource.

Well, killing the google photo backup process from task manager immediately rectified the problem, the browser started working, SSH is fine. That gives me a very strong suspicion and evidence that the google photo backup process is leaking this system resource.

I hope someone at google sees this, I'm uninstalling google photo backup immediately.
