Dear All,
A website I run makes a socket connection to my server at work and squirts some data down to it. If it can't connect it attempts a connection to a backup server, if that fails it sends me an email to tell me so.
This has worked ok for the last few weeks but recently I've been getting a problem. At seemingly random times the port seems to stop responding. The web server seems to think it has connected so doesn't try the backup server but no data is transferred. I have to reboot the receiving server to get it working again.
There is nothing in the event log to suggest anything and restarting the listening software does not resolve the problem. It's as if the port is accessible but not working properly.
Has anyone come across this problem before.
Cheers,
BowettWow.
