What on earth does error 10071 mean?

One of our users is getting it, but all I can find out from ANY Microsoft
documentation is that it means 'WSAEREMOTE - Item is not available
locally'.... What on earth does THAT mean?

What can cause this error? Any ideas to resolve it?

This is what I found at http://www.sockets.com :

"WSAEREMOTE (10071) Too many levels of remote in path

Berkeley description: Item is not local to the host. A server has attempted to
handle an NFS request by generating a request to another NFS server, which is
not allowed.

WinSock description: No equivalent. The WinSock API does not provide access to
the Network File System application protocol, so this error is irrelevant to
WinSock.

WinSock functions: <none>"

That information is telling me that you should not ever see that error, so
perhaps if you can give some more details on the application that is generating
that error someone can help.

I just read that as well..

It's an email server program that we produce. The problem has been reported
twice (by two different people) when trying to send mail to t-online.de's
mail servers - using SMTP obviously (and never in any other case). So, it's
a bit of a mystery.. It's not a common problem, so I'm tending to suspect
some other software running on the users' PCs which is interfering with
Winsock somehow.

Is the error code being reported via the remote .de server or explicitly by
your own server ? (you doing relayed emails ?).

If you search for the old sockets code of "EREMOTE" in deja then you'll find
this error code mentioned in the context of buggy versions of Apache. I was
wondering whether an Apache server is sending this code back to the client,
which happens to be another (your) server, which inturn shows up in the
actual client reader.

It's a slim chance I know, but I've never come across the error code either.
BTW - what winsock api actually returns this code ?

Ed.
