Resolving The Problem

Network IP traces were taken on the web server and the data shows that the problem is within the plug-in server's operating system. From the network captures, it showed that the socket was completely operational and there was no reason for Windows to pass the 10053 return code to plug-in.

This is a known defect in Microsoft Windows which is resolved with the following hot fix

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/931319

If the hot fix has already been applied, network packet traces maybe needed on the source and destination servers. Microsoft support should be engaged for further problem determination.
