One means that the server quit unexpectedly (10055, I guess)
and one means that the client quit (10054). I can never
remember which is which and didn't feel like looking it up
again.

Anything that causes the connection to end without going through
the shutdown sequence will cause that error. If you see a lot
of them when your clients are well behaved, then suspect the NIC,
