[GemStone-Smalltalk] Infamous ECONNRESET problem

[James Foster]

One suggestion is to review http://gemtalksystems.com/data/bugsByVersion/bugnotes_GSS_615-616.html for suggestions. There are several that are Windows-specific and running a modern version of Windows with a very old version of GemStone is likely to have issues. (I’d be tempted to find an old machine running Windows NT and try it!)

I assume that you have GS_MAKE_EVENTS_GLOBAL set (as we discussed in http://forum.world.st/How-to-configure-GS-S-6-1-2-through-a-firewall-blast-from-the-past-td4746063.html).

The log file you show below does not have the error. Also, when the linked topaz crashes what does that look like? Can you provide that starting with the topaz banner?

Is the client running a linked Gem or an RPC Gem? When in the sequence of events does this happen? Immediately? After some idle time (e.g., keep-alive expired)? What is shown in the logs? Those are the things I would investigate...
