Product: Apache httpd-2 Reporter: Gary Penn <gary>

Description Gary Penn 2003-10-30 17:18:32 UTC
When running a live Apache 2.0.47 server I get the following error in my logs
approx 4 times per minute:

[warn] (OS 64)The specified network name is no longer available.  :
winnt_accept: Asynchronous AcceptEx failed.

No known cause.  Have researched issue in Google and in forums and bugzilla. 
Others have similar AcceptEx error but not usually with 2.0.47 w/the same
network name cause.

Not running any unusual network settings.  
Static IP, no viral software.  
W2K Advanced Server SP4

This may be related to this bug: 
http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=21425

By the way, I'm running Apache 2.0.47, with PHP 4.3.4 on WinXP(SP1).

Apache 2.0.47, patched Windows 2000 Server (SP4), running Symantec Antivirus 
Corporate Edition, PHP 4.3.3.3, ActiveState Perl 5.8.0.806, MySQL 4.1.15 ; 
we're seeing this error, plus another.

[Mon Nov 10 10:05:06 2003] [warn] (OS 64)The specified network name is no 
longer available.  : winnt_accept: Asynchronous AcceptEx failed.
[Mon Nov 10 10:05:32 2003] [warn] (OS 121)The semaphore timeout period has 
expired.  : winnt_accept: Asynchronous AcceptEx failed.

The first one appears very frequently, but not regularly; sometimes it won't 
appear for hours, but then suddenly will appear in high frequency.

The second one is much less frequent, but is always accompanied with many of 
the first one. The difference: we see no performance difference with the first 
error; however, our monitoring software reports the site down when we see the 
second error. 

May or may not be related?

It always resets itself and is available again almost immediately.

earlier comment references a Microsoft KB article about potential ethernet
hardware issues) and Bug 24261.
