I run the free Webinator on a Win95 machine (yes, I know what
you think; I even agree) with 32 MB RAM. Unlimited indexing
ends invariably in a "WSAENOBUFS - no buffers left" error
message.
As far as I have been able to figure, there is no solution
to this problem. There is though one part-solution and one
workaround:
1. Increase the number of TCP connections on the machine.
Using regedit, edit the key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System+CurrentControlSet\Services\VxD\MSTCP\MaxConnections
(you need to create this key if you are running a default
installation) and set the string value to 256. The key
is an 8-bit value, so any number greater than 256 will
be ignored. The default is 100.
This will increase the number of concurrent TCP connections
allowed and will allow you to fetch more pages before you
get the WSAENOBUFS error than otherwise.
2. Use GW with the switch -p#. My experience is that with the
registry change described above, -p200 is a fairly safe
figure. This will fetch 200 pages at a time and you need
to repeat the fetch command until there is nothing left
in the to-do list. But at least GW won't crash.
If you have found any solution or any other workaround, I'd
appreciate that you post it here.
