Help on TCP/IP handshake with socket lib

[arnab]

Hi All,
I am getting a TCP/IP handshake issue.I have a server component (In
Linux) and another client like component (Windows component).Server
listens to a particular port.Windows component does the initial
handshaking fine.But after sometime under the heavy load what we
observe is Server hangs in accept()...means it waits for the client to
connect and on the other hand client calls connect() and gets
connection refused.


I am wondering what could be the problem.The server has 128 threads
where as client is having only 10 threads.
Any help or suggestion would be very much appreciated.
Thanks
Arnab
