Appendix C: Common network communication error codes
The following section describes the errors that might appear in Windows Sockets and U2 SSL communications.
Connection closed by host (1)
An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host. This normally results if the peer application on the remote host is suddenly stopped, the host is rebooted, the host or remote network interface is disabled, or the remote host closes the connection.
Connection closed by host (2)
The remote host was found to be out of action during a network operation on the connection.
Network failure
Indicates that a serious network failure has occurred.
Host unreachable (1)
The remote host is not accessible on the network. This usually occurs when an attempt is made to connect to a remote host that exists but cannot be reached.
Host unreachable (2)
The remote host is on a network that is not accessible. This usually occurs when an attempt is made to connect to a remote host.
Host failure
The remote host reset itself causing the connection to be closed. This typically means the remote host has been rebooted.
Connection closed
The local host has closed the connection because it encountered a problem or it detected that the remote host is not responding.
Connection refused
A connection to a remote host has been actively refused. This can occur when the service associated with the port number used to make the connection is unavailable or inactive. It typically occurs because the remote host name/alias or the port number used to make the connection are not specified as intended.
Connection request timed out
Indicates that the remote host has not responded after a predetermined amount of time. This can occur during a connection attempt or after a connection has been established (typically the former).

Common network communication error codes
Host not found (1)
The remote host could not be located on the network. This typically occurs when an attempt was made to connect to a remote host with an invalid name/alias or with a name/alias that could not be resolved into a network address.
Host not found (2)
An invalid argument was supplied for a network operation. This can occur when an attempt is made to connect to a remote host using an invalid specification.
