Hi all,

I’m new to smoke (using an education license). I’ve installed smoke 2012.SP3 on OSX 10.6.8. However, Stone + Wire won’t start. EIther from the commandline or from the Service Monitor. When I check the /usr/discreet/sw/log/sw_serverd.log log I see a bunch on these messages:

[notice] 1895120064 swInterfaceTCP.C:122 02/22/12:23:22:20.607 Stone+Wire TCP port set to 7000.
[error] 1895120064 sw_serverd.C:230 02/22/12:23:22:20.607 Unable to initialize server: Cannot set socket option: No buffer space available.
[user] 1895120064 sw_serverd.C:244 02/22/12:23:22:20.607 Shutting down Stone+Wire server.

Any ideas? I’m willing to reinstall the OS at this point. But I’d rather not if we don’t think it’ll help.

Anyway I appreciate it. Thanks

Hi.

Could it be that you have too many network connections open at the same time on your Mac?
Did you try restarting your Mac?

Regards,
Robert.

I’ve tried restarting. And opening Smoke once it loads. Same error message appears. I tried using a firewall to block everything except Smoke and tried without the firewall. Same message. I’m quite stumped.

Are you on a wireless network as well as a cabled network?  I had a problem where my wireless would add to my computer name and cause wire to fail.  When I disabled the wireless card and connected only through the cable, Stone+Wire then functioned properly and I was able to launch and use Smoke.

There is a wireless network in the mac but I thought I had disabled it. I’ll have to check that! Is there a better way to ‘really’ disable the wireless card than right-clicking on the icon in the menu bar and choosing “Turn Off”?

The wireless network is set to off but no luck. Same No buffer space message.

One thing I just realized is the licensing is done over a VPN. Could smoke be trying to use that instead of the ethernet?

I stand corrected. I turned off wireless. Removed the icon from the menu bar. Restarted and voila! Working!

Thanks for the tip! Awesome. Now to start playing...haha

Glad it’s working. This sounds like an interesting issue. Hope you don’t mind if I post it to Facebook, might be of help to others that get this error.

Regards,
Robert.

I don’t mind at all. It was insanely frustrating. Hopefully this can help others resolve the issue faster.
