"Connection to Partner Broken" Message

Question

I have a NW4 preview installation running on Linux.  I get the following message while trying to connect from a W2000 client.  I also cannot connect locally on the linux machine using the Java GUI.  I get a similar message.
Here is the Windows message:
[code]D:\Program Files\SAP\FrontEnd\SAPgui>niping -c -H server -S 3200

connect to server o.k.

Any ideas on how to troubleshoot it would be appreciated

Hi Jerry,
The error 10054 as you indicated in your message, is normally due to an error of the TCP/IP connection between 2 nodes, which has been lost.
There can be a variety of reasons for this from an incorrect termination of the connection on one side to physical network problems etc.
Please check out following SAP OSS Notes for further information in service marketplace:
  155147  WinNT: Connection reset by peer
  413330  Network timeouts
  500235  Network Diagnosis with NIPING
This could be due to hardware problems with the network, or to network problems. Please use the 'NIPING' tool to trace and check the network connection as per note 500235.
You could ask your Network Administrator to ensure your network status is healthy.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Vincent Lim
