Broken Connections?

We're experiencing broken connections whenever we do a long-running download
through our BM server. Doesn't seem to matter if we're going through Proxy
or not. For instance, we cannot download a NW service pack.
This is on a NW6.5 sp6, BM 3.8 sp4 server (we have updated this one to
TCP681k).
We are not experiencing this problem on our other BM server running NW6.5
sp5 & BM 3.8 sp4 server.
The question is: should I back-rev service packs, go forward??? (or
something else).
What's the most likely culprit here with a broken connection?
TIA for any help.
Jim

(sorry for the delay Craig)
The server is a Compaq (HP) DL360 G4P running NW 6.5 sp6, bm 3.8 sp4ir5 &
tcp681K. This combination was experiencing the disconnects.
The old drivers (I believe) were Q57.LAN V8.57 (8/18/05). We upgraded to
V11.03 (4/25/08). During the process Ethertsm and one other module (I forget
which) were forward-dated past the V11.03 update. We back-dated everything
to the V11.03 version (told it to over-write the newer modules).
We have another identical server running NW6.5 sp5 with no problems (V8.57
lan drivers too). So this indicates that the SP6 service pack may have
introduced the problem. I contemplated back-reving to SP5, but that would
have been the last resort.
The problem only arose when doing large downloads like NW service packs, so
we didn't discover the issue for a long time.
Thanks for helping me work thru this, your efforts (and the efforts of the
others) are appreciated by myself and the others on this board.

  • [4.0 EA2/E3] handling of broken connection

    Even when I get a connection lost or reset (sorry I did not copy the exact wording and/or error code),
    either from a sql sheet or from trying to expand a left-hand tree node, I am not being offered the option to reconnect
    (which remains greyed out).
    This has been a nagging problem with sqldeveloper *forever*.
    A keep-alive or ping interval should perhaps become a new parameter when defining a connection.
    Not everyone has clean, permanent connections (e.g when working over a VPN).

    Hi Gary,
    when I saw the message, the connection was not broken.I 'd conjecture that there are occasional glitches in my (adsl) connection. The VPN somehow generally survives, and so do my windows shares and outlook connection, but OCI/sqlplus, sqldev (*not* over OCI) or occasonial ssh connections get broken.
    Now, if i start sqldev 3.1 with the "keepconnected" extension and configure it to ping the server every 13' (for example), my db connection almost always remains up (even if left alone for a couple hours). If I start 4EA2 and leave it alone similarly, I am pretty much certain to find it broken when I come back, I have also noticed that the "keepconnected" or "keepalive" extensions do not seem to work with sqldev4 anymore, so some API has probably become incompatible, leaving these unusable.
    Having to reconnect would be viable if at least the option to do so knew what the worksheet seems to have realised - that the connection was indeed lost. Ideally I'd prefer a keep-alive option being included in the connection properties but I remember reading a Jeff Smith' blog post as to why this wouldn't happen - dba's wouldn't want it (sorry I could not find the link back).
    Sorry to sound like a broken record, as I think I have been complaining about this very issue since at least 3.0EA's. Thanks for trying to help with the "reconnect" feature, but so far it has never actually worked for me. I can just a s well "close" the broken connection without closing the associated worksheet, then reconnect (which I find cumbersome).
    Short story: "reconnect" does not seem to work any better in 4EA2, and extensions that use to alleviate the problem are not working with it either...
    Thanks.

    in your function startChat(), you say
      if (this.netConnection)
                ExternalInterface.call("flashtxtChat_gotNearID", this.netConnection.nearID);
    if the netConnection is in the process of connecting and startChat() gets called again, then the netConnection will not be null but will also not be connected.  you can only get the nearID if the netConnection is connected.

  • Broken connection

    i have been having a broken connection using java if i do not keep typing in a chat room that use Java i jet an error message saying>>>The connection to the DigiChat server was unexpectedly broken Java.net.socket:Broken connection Reset
    i get this error regardsless of what Version of Java i used Thanks for your help

    It looks like DigiChat is dropping your connection for you after a period of idleness.
    Again nothing much you can do except (a) keep the connection active or (b) try another cable company.
    You could try Socket.setKeepAlive(true), but this will only exchange a packet every two hours, and your cable company may be dropping the blade on you sooner than that.

  • Broken connection on I phone 3

    Hi. My old I phone 3 has cracked screen and according to 3, a broken connection inside bottom of phone preventing it from reading sim. My phone insurance has a £100 excess. Is it worth paying to see if it can be fixed? I was hoping to get it repaired to give to my little girl but not sure if its worth it?
    Thanks

    Sorry people, it's actually an I phone 4.

  • No music visible after broken connection between iPod classic and pc

    Hello,
    I have a 4th generation 60 GB iPod classic. Model: A1099
    During the connection with the PC, the usb connection was accidentally disconnected , and now music is no longer visible on the ipod
    iPod is also not recognized by itunes.
    I have tried to reset with no result. I am looking for an installer program to restore to factory defaults.
    Can not find the software on the Apple site
    Who can help me to find this software, or knows how to solve this program.
    Thanks

    Since you are trying to manually manage the iPod's contents (a.k.a. dragging and dropping content onto it) have you double checked to make sure the Manually manage music and videos option is enabled from under the iPod's Summary tab?
    If that is not the case, what happens when you try to drag and drop songs onto it?  Any error messages?

  • HT3669 Update has broken connection to HP OfficeJet Pro 8000.

    After applying this update, I can no longer see or add my HP OfficeJet 8000 to my iMac 27" eith via Bonjour nor USB connected.  Does anyone know how to remove this single update?  I did verify my printers were working after my initial upgrafe to 10.8.
    Thanks

    I found another forum thresd (https://discussions.apple.com/message/19219595#19219595) where the issue was resolved.  It seems HP sent a mucked up update so Apple moved the previous update to the current release and redeployed.  So I had to remove my /Library/Printers/hp folder and reinstall the driver update from the App Store.
    My issue is resolved.  Thank you for your help

  • Broken connection date promises, how to get the tr...

    I'm moving into a new build development of just 15 houses next week, where the developer has laid the ducts and provided the connection points for BT to "simply" connect the houses to the local exchange.
    The first owners took occupation in June and have been waiting for the cables to be drawn and the upgrades to the exchange to be carried out that will give us all landlines and access to broadband choices. Right now, there is nothing.
    Every time I, or any of the current or future residents call Customer Services, we keep being told that an update is due shortly from Openreach and we should be sorted out in the next two weeks. Today's answer was "you'll be done by October 15th"
    As a group of homeowners, we have spent hours on calls, listening to music and repeating our requests to the overseas call centre, and nobody is giving us a straight answer.
    So, can anybody guide me as to who I should contact at BT, or indeed Openreach to find out when the work is scheduled to take place? Am utterly fed up and bored with dealing with a monopoly company with no interest in the needs of its customers.
    Would welcome thoughts on where to turn.
    Steve

    Openreach do not deal directly with the public so your point of contact is BT sales and the information they have will be current

  • Broken connection in the middle of large download

    I recently purchased a HP laptop, Windows 7. I added it my wireless system BEFWS4 V4. It works just fine with downloading most things. But the connection is interrupted in the middle of large downloads such as a movie.  HP checked things out remotely and claims that the router must be the problem. Is that reasonable, and if another router is required. Can you suggest something that will be relatively easy to install. By the way my home computer is running XP.
    Thanks,

  • Is there any way to know that SOAP Client has closed and broken connection

    Hi,
    I am exposing a stateless session EJB using Oracle SOAP Webservices...and it is working smoothly.
    But when the SOAP client crashes or is closed, is
    there anyway that can know this happened on the server side i.e., the SOAP connection is lost.
    Thanks,

    Oops..Got posted before I could finish the query
    Hi
    For the given code snippet
    var c=Circle{
      centerX:10  
      centerY:10
      fill:Color.YELLOW
      onMouseClicked:function(event){
          c.fill=Color.RED;
          printNodeAsImage(c, filename) //to a file
    }Let us assume that printNodeAsImage(c,filename) saves the circle node with the current color to a file. See http://rakeshmenonp.wordpress.com/2010/04/26/javafx-1-3-save-as-image/ for a implementation of this function
    What we notice instead is that printNodeAsImage(c, filename) actually saves the node with the color YELLOW instead of RED. Is there any way to know deterministically when the UI has been updated due to a variable value change (or because of binding). (In this case the transition from Yellow to Red) So that we can perform other operations on the UI state - like saving it to a file

  • Leopards broken connectivity to smb shares.

    I bought Leopard recently and did an Erase and Install on my iMac. Everything seemed to work except ... my iTunes are on a NAS and although I can see the //<Device>/<share>, everything undere that is blank.
    (ftp works fine ... except I also have some video files on there of about 5GB and I can't pull them off.)
    I have a backup copy of Tiger on a USB drive - I can boot to that and see the NAS without any problems, so it isn't a hardware issue.
    I note several others have had similar problems and I was wondering if anyone has a definitive fix for this yet?
    As some comments I've read say people have it working, can someone who does have a working smb connection from Leopard to a NAS please let me know the firmware version of your NAS as I'm now at the stage where I'm prepared to blow away mine in an attempt to resolve this problem.

    I just installed a Freecome Netdrive yesterday and I had the same issue of connecting to the folder and seeing no data. It was a problem with the user groups defined on the NAS set up. In essence if I connected to the root of the NETDRIVE it would show me all the share but then when I went to click into they were empty. I had to mount one of the individual folders first so that Leopard would ask me a user name and password (which was blank) then once it saved the password in the keychain I unmounted the drive and mounted the root this time I could see the files correctly. Same happened with a windows xp machine so I believe this is nothing to do with Leopard but just with the NAS. To ensure your problem is actually security try to access your NAS via HTTP or FTP and see if you can browse the files. If you can't you have a different problem.

  • Detecting dead/broken connections

    I have a problem with some code that tries to detect dead database connections. Inside my class derived from MFC's CDatabase, I'm executing the following code:
    BOOL CDatabaseConnection::IsValid(void)
    ULONG ulAttribute = SQL_CD_FALSE;
    long cbData = 0;
    SQL_ATTR_CONNECTION_DEAD
    (ODBC 3.5)
    An SQLUINTEGER value that indicates the state of the connection.
    If SQL_CD_TRUE, the connection has been lost.
    If SQL_CD_FALSE, the connection is still active.
    RETCODE nRetCode;
    AFX_SQL_SYNC(::SQLGetConnectAttr(m_hdbc, SQL_ATTR_CONNECTION_DEAD, (PTR) &ulAttribute, sizeof(ulAttribute), &cbData));
    BOOL bSuccess = Check(nRetCode);
    if (!bSuccess &#0124; &#0124; (ulAttribute == SQL_CD_TRUE))
    #if defined(_DEBUG)
    OutputDebugString("*** CDatabaseConnection::IsValid: connection is dead\n");
    #endif
    return FALSE;
    else
    return TRUE;
    What happens is that the call to check the connection state actually kills it, or the call itself never comes back. This is with the 8.1.7 client components, which according to the release notes in ODBCRelNotes.wri, Section 5 (Software Problems Fixed), changes the way the status is determined.

  • Broken connection when applying password

    Hi,
    My 2 roommates and I share the network I set up with the Airport Express. When I put a password on the network, however, my roommates have connection problems. One has trouble connecting at all, and the other keeps getting disconnected, even though they have entered the password correctly. I do not have any problems with either my home computer (iBook G4) or the computer I use to work at home (Dell Latitude D630), so I was wondering what the possible cause might be. I don't believe anything is wrong with the Airport itself as both of my computers are operating just fine on the network - are there settings on their computers that they need to change?
    Thank you!

    Hi Duane,
    Thank you for your fast response. The two computers having trouble are Gateway and Averitech. Both are running Windows XP.
    I'm not sure if this answers your question, but Airport shows my security setting as 802.11 b/g Compatible. Is that what you need? I'll be happy to provide further info if necessary. Thanks for your help.

  • Sockets: How can server detect that client is no longer connected?

    Hi,
    I really need help and advice with the following problem:
    I have a Client - Server socket program.
    The server listens on port 30000 using a server socket on one machine
    The client connects to localhost on port 20000, previously creating an ssh port forward connection using the Jsch package from www.jcraft.com with
    "session.setPortForwardingL(20000, addr, 30000);"
    Then the client sends Strings to the server using a PrintWriter.
    Both are connected to each other through the internet and the server uses a dynamic dns service.
    This all works well until the IP address of the Server changes, The client successfully reconnects to the server using the dynamic dns domain name, but the server keeps listening on the old socket from the previous connection, while opening a new one for the new client connection. The server doesn't seem to notice that Client has disconnected because of this IP address change.
    looks like the server is stuck inside the while loop. If i cut the connection manually on the client side, the server seems to notice that the client has disconnected, and jumps out of the while look (see code below)
    this is the code I'm using for the server:
    import java.io.BufferedReader;
    import java.io.IOException;
    import java.io.InputStreamReader;
    import java.net.Socket;
    import java.util.logging.Logger ;
    public class SocketHandler extends Thread {
        static Logger logger = Logger.getLogger("Server.SocketHandler");
        private Socket clientSocket = null;
        private BufferedReader in = null;
        private InputStreamReader inReader = null;
        public SocketHandler(Socket clientSocket) throws IOException {
            this.clientSocket = clientSocket;
            inReader = new InputStreamReader(clientSocket.getInputStream ());
            in = new BufferedReader(inReader);
        public void run() {
            try {
                String clientMessage = null;
                while ((clientMessage = in.readLine()) != null) {
                    logger.info("client says: " + clientMessage);
            } catch (IOException e) {
                logger.severe(e.getMessage());
                e.printStackTrace();
            } finally {
                try {
                    logger.info("closing client Socket: " + clientSocket);
                    clientSocket.close();
                    in.close();
                    ServerRunner.list.remove(clientSocket);
                    logger.info("currently "+ServerRunner.list.size()+" clients connected");
                } catch (IOException e) {
                    logger.severe (e.getMessage());
                    e.printStackTrace();
    }I've tried making the server create some artificial traffing by writing some byte every few seconds into the clients OutputStream. However I get no exceptions when the IP address changes. The server doesn't detect a disconnected socket connection.
    I'd really appreciate help and advice

    If a TCP/IP peer is shut down "uncleanly", the other end of the connection doesn't get the final end of connection packet, and read() will wait forever. close() sends the final packet, as will killing the peer process (the OS does the close()). But if the OS crashes or for some other reason can't send the final packet, the server never gets notification that the peer has gone away.
    Like you say, one way is timeout, if the protocol is such that there always is something coming in at regular intervals.
    The other way is a heartbeat. Write something to the other end periodically, just some kind of "hello, I'm here, ignore this message". The other end doesn't even have to answer. If the peer has gone away, TCP will retransmit your heartbeat message a few times. After about a minute it will give up, and mark the socket as broken. read() will then throw an IOException. You could send heartbeats from the client too, so that the client detects if the server computer dies.
    TCP/IP also has a TCP-level heartbeat; see Socket.setKeepAlive(). The heartbeat interval is about two hours, so it takes it a while to detect broken connections.

  • Problems wiht b/b connection

    taken from my router log file and pasted below this sort of thing happens several times a day and every time i loose connection it reports that its waiting for the line to become free, i take it that just like the last time this happened it measn the line card in the exchange i'm connected to has too many customers for the avilable ports, this in turn is locking my line profile down from 7.5 meg (which it maintained for most of the last 2 years) to below 4meg and due to the constant stream of problems which are either cabinet or exchange based (i tried the quiet line test and theres nothing there) i've had my internal wireing tested and still am having all thease problems which i dont understand, the only thing connected to the test socket is the adsl filter which is in turn connected ot the phone and the router, i tried useing 2 different routers with the same results last time this happened, and now i'm stuck wiht a broken connection which the call center in india are worse than useless at sorting out (i tried them 3 times in the last week, there "best solution" was " unplug your routerfor 20 minutes and then swithc it back on" it achieved the square root of sweet FA and its the answer they came up with all 3 times like its a new script option there trying out.

    i'd be interested ot here what a mod has to say on the matter, as i already am pretty sure of whats causing the problem (the exchange having too many lines plugged into the card, which is exactly what happened a year ago for 2 weeks) because the exchange is fitted wiht cards that have *10 extra line slots* than there capable of connecting at the same time (because they were cheaper for bt to bulk buy and install than the ones that line matched the DSLAM's the exchange is fitted with) but hey that shouldnt be causeing me problems

    and yet again and no doubt several more times during the night i will get this problem as well as a lot more again tomorrow untill bt stop putting too many lines onto the cards, or upgrade the DSLAM's so there able to cope with the line's (probably not going to happen)

    of course i just love the fact this problem is making my internet slower and slower, i cant even use it when my kids are doing homework, becuse the contention ratios are so bad locally at those "peak periods" guess i'm just lucky heh
