Receiving packet failed: (10054) (2nd post)

[Henk]

I'm sorry, but I was not able to get more data about this problem. That same day windows was updated automatically and I was not able to reproduce the problem.

It should be interesting to know what exactly version of Windows runs at faulty client? And was any of IPv6 services activated on it (including Teredo)?

Your tcpdump (or whatever on Windows, Wireshark?) should show ICMP Unreachable packets before that error. At least many people get this when they receive 10054 error on UDP sockets.

So probably more workarounds for Windows. One of them is probably ignoring 10054 return value of recvfrom on Windows.
