Cause of the Error


The problem may occur due to the combination of the Network Interface Controller (NIC) driver, and the TCP Chimney feature in Scalable Network Pack present in Windows Server 2003 SP2.

In Windows Server 2003 SP2, the TCP Chimney feature is the stateful default offload in Scalable Networking Pack. The offload enables the TCP/IP processing to get offloaded to the network adapters that handle the TCP/IP processing in the hardware. Due to the presence of TCP Chimney feature, certain NIC driver may result in high NonPaged pool usage, and gets tagged as MmCm.

If there is no technician available, then you can also search for various troubleshooting methods on the web.

1. Click the ‘Start’ menu, and then select the ‘Run’ option.

2. In the ‘Run’ dialog box, type ‘cmd,’ and then click ‘OK.’

3. Now, type “Netsh int ip set chimney DISABLED” command in the command prompt window, and then press ENTER on your keyboard.

4. Check, if your PC issue gets resolved.

After applying the troubleshooting methods mentioned above, you may not face the same problem on your PC. However, you must consult with your server support specialist before performing any troubleshooting steps on your own.
