Tag Archives: arp
connect: No buffer space available
First time I’ve gotten this problem when trying to ping another host:
$ ping pong
connect: No buffer space available
connect: No buffer space available
The command ifconfig didn’t show anything unusual, but dmesg showed some interesting lines:
[332083.737268] ipv4: Neighbour table overflow.
[332205.552806] net_ratelimit: 15 callbacks suppressed
[332205.552806] net_ratelimit: 15 callbacks suppressed
I noticed that minidlna sucked up 100% from one core, but I don’t know if this is related. I restarted minidlna and the network, and all was back to normal again:
$ sudo /etc/init.d/minidlna restart
$ sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart
$ sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart
When I was back online again, I was curious and googled the problem. I found some hints to check the routing table and arp table, which I’ll do in the future should the problem ever arise again.
