Vista RTM can't open new socket.

Started here.

Due to (stupid) limitation in TCP/IP driver (10 half-open connection) sometimes Vista loosing ability to access an internet (open new socket for communication). It happens when user uses P2P applications (BitTorrent, eMule). But in could be caused even by too busy IIS. BUT all existing internet-connected programs (WLM, Skype) are running. PC even is accessible via RDP. No any entries in EventLog relating to any problem with sockets. "Event 4226" appears in absolutely different time, not in time when connection was blocked.

Only reboot or (sometimes) "Network Connections" (and ICS) service restart can help to revive network back to live.

This problem is accepted by many people (see post on Channel9).

Any settings in registry (see MSDN documentation relating to TCP/IP settings) doesn't works at all.

Vista RTM can't open new socket.

    Hi again,

    With ICS back on, things still seem to be working. I'll post again if things fail and see if I can tell what happened...

    It's OK Mr. Jerry, I am here to serve you better.

    I am using internal P2P application since 3 days with ICS on, but was not able to find any difficulty in internet browsing. Could you please specifically tell me which P2P service you are running while facing this issue. One more question, are your ICS clients able to browse the internet when you are facing the internet issue on ICS host

    Thanks and Regards

    I concur with your experiences. When (Vista RTM) I enabled ICS I could (mostly) get it to work ... but it could not see one machine on the network but others were fine so I assumed is was merely a flaw in the setup of ICS on that one machine.

    VERY shortly after that, however, I began to get almost routine "... is not working ..." messages from the startup of anything (PC-Cillin, IE7, Mail) that involved the internet (which generated millions of bytes of "troubleshooting help" to MS which are doubtless wasted). A way around that - though a nuisance and not really acceptable - was to Logoff and Logon as a Guest (different account). I finally yielded and disabled ICS (and the IP6 setting for good measure) since it gives one great happiness to use IE, Mail, PCC, etc. in their intended manner.

    I'm sure others will be reporting similar experiences, too, before long. Perhaps MS will get it fixed and make an update available before tjhe "official" release date. If not, they'll be in for some real customer heat since many of us want and need ICS and can't "go live" without it working correctly.

    Thanks for your feedback. I will get back to you, if I need more information.

    Hi there,

    I am also getting the same error. The only p2p app I have installed is Skype. My RTM Vista Bussiness was probably up and running for about 20 or 25 hours before this happened. Turning off ICS fixed the problem. I saw similar events as listed above in my log.

    If this is really a 1/2 open port problem then I figured a netstat dump might be helpful. Here is the dump when the problem was happening (i.e. I couldn't open any new sockets):

    And here is the dump right after I disabled ICS and also make sure that I could make a connection (lots of stuff that had dropped connections then powered back up):

    I have done no analysis of this data -- this is raw. As soon as I submit this message I'll turn ICS back on (I need it because I use VM's). I'll post here to let you know if the connection fails right away.

    hi again Mr Gupta,

    You've got to be kidding me...

    Please refer to my post from the 12.1.07 that said: "Did you try having a p2p program running in the background This contributes to appearance of the problem. It could take several hours and it could even take several days till it happens."

    are you sure you're an M$ employee or your just another bored teenager looking to pull someones leg

    I'm sure hope I'm wrong because this issue is very annoying and I consider not upgrading our firm's 150 PCs to vista solely due to this problem!

    I found what stopping "Internet Connection Sharing (ICS)" service helps to revive connection back to live without restart. If ICS service is completely disabled then connection works perfectly without any problems at all.

    There is only one more or less related message in EventLog:
    - <Event xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/win/2004/08/events/event">

    No more any errors are reported in EventLog.

    IPv6 is disabled (unchecked in Network Connection properties and
    HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip6\Parameters\DisabledComponents = 0xFF).

    PS: Vista Ultimate RTM from MSDN of cause...

    PPS: I have 2 network cards in my system. One for direct Internet access, second for home ad-hoc wireless network to access internet from my second PC.

    Hi,

    I, Arpan Gupta (arpan.gupta@microsoft.com), am test owner of ICS. I tried to repro the issue (which you are facing.) locally but was unable to repro. I followed the following steps:

    1. Enable ICS

    2. Unchecked IPv6 feature on public as well as private (Ad-Hoc) adapter

    3. Wait around 3 hours

    4. IE and internet was working properly.

    Please let me know, have you intentionally created reg key HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip6\Parameters\DisabledComponents=0xFF

    Please also let me know what else services are running on your machine when you faced this issue and after stopping them did ICS work fine

    Is this a consistent repro on your machine

    Please confirm us that at the time of repro Public adapter had global IP address or not

    Please help us to serve you better.

    Your useful feedback will improve the quality of Vista.

    Thanks and Regards

    Arpan Gupta

    Hi,

    I think you are trying to say that this issue repros only when you run P2P application. If you stop P2P application everything comes in normal state. Correct me if I am wrong.

    Please help us to serve you better.

    Your useful feedback will improve the quality of Vista.

    Thanks and Regards

    I've changed hardware. Same problem with new hardware.

    "Internet Connection Sharing" CONTAINS BLOODY BUGS! Is any related bug posted to MS Does MS knows about this problem in ICS service This bug is confirmed by other people.

    Disabling of ICS service helps connection to stay alive but network sharing is disabled too.

    PS: Why MSDN forums are so useless ...

  • Amanda Jamin

    Hi, Mr. Gupta.

    The IPv6 feature does not affect the problem (it occurs regardless to whether IPv6 is enabled or not).

    Did you try having a p2p program running in the background This contributes to appearance of the problem. It could take several hours and it could even take several days till it happens.


  • Richard Morgan

    hey,

    i got exactly the same MS-Mishap on my PC.

    hope for some MS-Remedy soon. it'd be a shame to go back to XP only for this reason.


  • dreims

    Mr Gupta,

    sorry for earlier emotional reaponse but this problem is driving me crazy. I would rather to coninute this correspondence through this channel for the benefit of all the rest of the folks suffering from this issue.

    Did you install any p2p app and ran in in the BG I think it may contribute to the reoccurence of the problem. Make sure ICS service is running as well.

    Regards,

    Jerry
