Q.
I bring up my brand new NetWare 5.x server and almost immediately get the following error on the screen:
NBMALERT! Time: 18-3-2002 19:52:00 Service: NetWare Operating System The system is short on event control blocks and network I/O may degrade or fail
Why am I getting this error and what can I do to get it fixed?

Dear Ab-ended: The error you are getting would seem to indicate that your server had run out of Event Control Blocks (ECBs), memory, or packet buffers. I have tried to duplicate this on my super server with 4 GB of RAM and lots of everything else, but with no luck. You may need to upgrade to NetWare 6, but if this is not feasible, there is a fix for this problem in NetWare 5 Support Pack 5 or later. Make sure the file IPFLT31.NLM is dated July 21, 1999 or later.
