SAP Note 107407 - Win95: Connection Reset by Peer

Solution : https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/107407 (SAP Service marketplace login required)

Summary :
This SAP Note addresses issues with connection terminations on a Windows 95 frontend, manifested by the error code 10054 - "Connection Reset by Peer". Problems primarily arise due to TCP/IP communication interruptions caused by oversized frame transfers across diverse network segments. This misalignment can lead routers to discard packets without acknowledgment due to a "Black Hole" condition. Remedial actions include network hardware checks and specific diagnostic tests using the "niping" tool to assess and optimize network parameters like MTU sizes and handle packet fragmentation settings through system registry adjustments.
