It is a socket error WSAENOBUFS. According to Microsoft:

"No buffer space available. -- An operation on a socket could not be
performed because the system lacked sufficient buffer space or because a
queue was full."

I just googled a little bit, tweak some regedit values can alleviate it, but
not sure.
