any suggestions ideas?
    

Can you elaborate some more on the application in question and the
problem you are experiencing.

Typically network applications reuse the ports they are registered
on, and if they didn't the only way to reuse them would be to kill
and restart the process, so it may be that that isn't the problem
after all, but more information is needed.

  This error will occur when the TCP connection between the Backup Server and Replication server is closed prematurely by an external force when the replication is in progress. The replication for the jobs will fail and in the StoreGrid replication server, the socket connection remains open and the replication server thinks that the replication job is still running. Please check if there are open socket connections from the backup server in the replication server.
  
  In the next replication schedule, the application will try to reset the active status in the replication server. If the resetting of the replication active status completes successfully, then the backup server will continue the replication. In the subsequent schedule the active replication status will be reset and Backup Server should proceed replication without any issue.
  
  In the current version , you can workaround this issue by setting the idle socket timeout value in the replication server's NAT/router setting. By doing this, the backup server idle socket connections will be automatically closed by the replication server's NAT/router. Currently there is no socket timeout value for the idle sockets in the replication server. We do have plans to do this in our future release.
  
  As a workaround, please try restarting the replication Server once and see if still the replication is in progres



-Thats a quote from the tech support folks.. So every 12-14hrs I go into my replication server, shut down the services and restart them after the netstat shows the ports are closed.. and we carry on..

Thanks,
