What can cause data socket to stop working?

[K Kral]

I have an application that is using the data socket server to share data over the net. Everything seems to work fine, but when I run the tests overnight every morning the data socket connections are broken and displayed as red. The data socket server disappears when I place the mouse over the icon in the tray. Is there a limit to the total number of packets the data socket server can keep track of? What will happen if the displayed number of packets rolls over?

There isn't a limit to the number of packets that the datasocket server can handle. What I surmise is happening (had this happen to me) is that the power savings features on your system are turning on (system goes to standby) and this basically disables the ability for the server to function and kills datasockets.
