Windows Vista and Windows 7 random WSAECONNRESET

[Former Member]

Good day, we have this serious problems with every single pc with Vista or 7 (no problems at all with XP): if the user stops working on the SAPGUI for a few seconds, the client crashes with this error...

ALP: connection to partner '217.172.30.1:3299' broken

WSAECONNRESET: Connection reset by peer

Component: NI (network interface)

Release: 720

Version: 40

Module: nixxi.cpp

Line: 4970

Method: NiRead: P=217.172.30.1:3299; L=10.0.0.31:60899

Return Code: -6

System Call: recv

Error No: 10054

Error Text: WSAECONNRESET: Connection reset by peer

Counter: 1

It seems like some sort of timeout or keepalive related problem, and it occurs only on computers with Vista or 7 (actually EVERY computer with Vista or 7).

I already disabled windows firewall, the antivirus, UAC, and modified the registry as per OSS Notes 26086, 155147 and 413330. I tried both with 7.10 and 7.20 versions of the GUI, with latest patch levels. I tried with fixed and dynamic IPs. But nothing seems to work... I'm going mad... any ideas?

Hello,

try to change the energy options of windows 7. I had a similar problem and this was solved after I stopped my system from energy saving.

Now it will not turn off the network card and my connection to sap will still work.
