hello,

this indicates the client cannot talk to the server.
please check with telnet 10.192.200.6 1984 or with hping that the communication
works fine between client and server.

you can also use packet capture softwares like wireshark.

I check the server 10.192.200.6 is work. Other server hobbit is all OK. 

Reason: I find this server ./hobbit/client/tmp/msg.zch66ns03.cig.mcel.mot.com.txt file is 11.2MB. It is so big. 

How can I fix it. Thank you!

quite strange. this looks like a port scan ...
could you check with an lsof which process runs so many connections ?

Using 4.2.0 originally and now 4.3.0 snapshot from April, I get loads of
these messages:

192.168.4.125 is a Windows Big Brother legacy server but I know that for the
most part the communication between the two server works fine (both on the
same LAN, no firewall).  But maybe it would be helpful if this error message
could contain a few more details such as which host.test is causing the
problem?  I have a fair idea (a hobbit-client procs - which often goes
purple and always gets truncated with no procs listed - and something else),
but it would be nice to have confirmation.  Also, maybe it could say what
the write error is?

Many thanks,
