"Can't upstream error message 10061" and "radio system storage down?" which is basically the same problem, radio users keep getting the following error messages: 10061, 10054, 10060...

Marcus pointed out a reference point, Windows TCP Error Codes, for these error messages which is a great because I could never find any exact meanings to these message except what my events log was generating, for example:

10054 - WSAECONNRESET -- Connection reset by peer. This occurs when an established connection is shut down for some reason by the remote computer.

10060 - WSAETIMEDOUT -- Connection timed out.

10061  - WSAECONNREFUSED -- Connection refused. You will usually see this error when a server refuses a connection from a client, because the server is not listening on that port.

Now the question I have and I'm sure others have is why?

• why was the connection refused?
• why has the connection timed out?
• why was the connection reset?

Roland pointed out that Lawrence answered by saying "Sorry, the server had problems, but now it's up."

Roland also said instead of saying, "We had a problem", please say it's because:

1. You're understaffed

2. Your servers stink

3. Your sysadmin sleeps from time to time

Whatever the reason, PLEASE GIVE US SOME REAL EXPLANATIONS

I woke up this morning and realized that I might have done something stupid last night..we had to change the locks on the doors last night at work when we fired someone..so I got all the new keys and changed out my key however I think I threw away my office door key and not the front door key..at least I know where I threw away my key (i think, i hope..its in my trash can) but the question is..how am I going to get into my office this morning? The previous person was either such a control freak or totally paranoid, she wouldn't even let the cleaning crew in the office at night, she never left her door open when she walked away for a few minutes...so I doubt seriously if she ever gave anyone a spare key...

the question is do I just pick the lock..shouldn't be that hard, its a standard lock or do I call a locksmith? (then again, jill of trades that I am..could pick the lock *grin*)

since my upstream didn't work this morning..here's the latest update..they found a spare key, rescued my thrown away key and all is good..I won't do that again :)
