SYMPTOMS

Assume that you try to access a network file share that resides on a server that is running Windows Server 2003, 2008, or 2008 R2. However, in this situation, the file sharing connection drops intermittently after a while, and then the network share becomes unresponsive.

When this problem occurs, the following events are logged in the event log:

Event ID: 4226
Source: Tcpip
Message:TCP/IP has reached the security limit imposed on the number of concurrent (incomplete) TCP connect attempts.

Event ID: 2022
Source: server
Message: The server was unable to find a free connection number times in the last number seconds.


Note Event 2022 may occur every 20 to 30 seconds.

Community Feedback System

Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back. Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what didn't.

Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry edits), please consult a professional.

Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
