Oracle Database Discussions

I am seeing many of the following error ("soc nnn error - operation=5, ntresnt[0]=517, ntresnt[1]=54...") in my Listener trace file.
This is on an Oracle 9.2.0.4 server (Windows 2003 Server R2).

If my intepretation of the Listener trace is correct, this corresponds to Winsock Error 10054 (Connection reset by peer).


SQL*net trace files at the client side (a separate host) do not indicate a corresponding error - all the trace files appear "clean".


So what is the peer in this context? My initial thought was that the Oracle server had established a session for the client, but then the client
had appeared to disappear from the network. But I would have expected to see something in the client trace files at the same time.




This is an example from the Listener trace file.
