I am receiving the following error on my page, I updated the IIS setting for posting limit, but can't find how to increase the work buffer size, any help on this would be awesome

Request Too Large
The "POST" request is too large for the internal work buffer:

    The internal work buffer size is 512 bytes.
    The "POST" request size is 2313 bytes. 

Return to last page

I am using IIS7.5 for setting up the page

The site is built via .NET MVC4
