Event Id 2017 The server was unable to allocate from the system nonpaged pool because the server reached the configured limit for nonpaged pool allocations.

Apparently you need to tell Windows that you want to use the machine as a file server and that it should allocate resources accordingly. Set the following registry key to ‘1′:
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management\LargeSystemCache
and set the following registry key to ‘3′:
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanServer\Parameters\Size
After making these changes and restarting, I haven’t seen this issue arise again

Thanks krbaugh, I was so frustrated with this and hopefully I will not get disconnected on the network again. I have mapped a drive on my XP machine and the software is running on Windows 7 Pro. My XP was accessing all other computers but not the Windows 7. I will post if that error comes back or I get disconnected to access that mapped drive.

krbaugh, thank you so much! I had a Windows 7 system that just kept crashing with this event log error. I followed your instructions and it is working great! You are a life saver!

Thank you, thank you, thank you. I had the problem with XP machines being locked out of a Windows 7 pseudo file server that would only resolve with a reboot of the win 7 machine. A Microsoft engineer advised that I needed to run the 'file server' in safe mode or clean boot mode to try and find what software program was causing the issue. Luckily I decided instead to just look through the event viewer, and I found this very Event ID at times that I knew the xp machines had been kicked out of the server. I've just done the registry edit, and fingers crossed, we'll have no further issues with the network.

I knew this needed to be done from prior experience but forgot to note the specifics. Thanks for the concise, helpful post that Google turned up easily with the search string:
nonpaged pool allocation limit windows 7

Thank you krbaugh for your contribution.
I would just like to add that on a "client" machine this error seams to appear if one has at least one "Maped Network Drive" that dose no longer exist. This is not to be mistaken for a disconnected drive! The client is desperately attempting to reach the drive, which it believes to still be their. I am not sure if the Registry edits you proposed help the client to stop looking for drive(s) that no longer exist.

I can also confirm that QuickBooks error code 6150 and 1006 can be cause directly by multiple disconnects from the QuickBooks server. The user account was corrupted so I had to recreate it and I was also seeing (Event 4 QuickBooks-Event Viewer). The above fix took care of the connection issues and user accounts are no longer being corrupted.
Thanks for the post it saved me a lot of time on the phone having a useless conversation with Intuit.
