Re: getting WSAECONNABORTED on recv() on Windows XP installations


Thanks for your response. I agree it could be a peer side problem just as
readily as a client problem/. I don't really have easy access to the server
network code - it is a java servlet running under JBoss/Tomcat that, I'm
pretty certain, just uses the standard Java ServerSocket() class in its
implementation.

In any event, the frequency of the problem is OS version dependent:

Win 2K - occurs very, very rarely
Win XP sp1 - occurs more often
Win XP sp2 - occurs much more often (sorry, forgot to mention this in
original post).

Are there any network parameters (timeouts and such) that might have changed
between these 3 versions of the Windows?
