Has anyone experienced this problem with AIX media servers ?

We get a socket error 24, about 2 seconds after the backups start. It can
be a FileSystem backup or even a database backup.
I am pretty sure its similar to the tcp_time_wait issue with Solaris but I
am unable to find out why.

Below are the TCP settings

               tcp_ndebug = 100
                  tcp_ttl = 60
            tcp_sendspace = 262144
            tcp_recvspace = 262144
       tcp_bad_port_limit = 0
            tcp_keepintvl = 150
             tcp_keepidle = 14400
              tcp_mssdflt = 1448
             tcp_keepinit = 150
        tcp_pmtu_discover = 1
             tcp_timewait = 1
        tcp_ephemeral_low = 32768
       tcp_ephemeral_high = 65535
              tcp_newreno = 1
          tcp_nagle_limit = 65535
          tcp_init_window = 0
                  tcp_ecn = 0
     tcp_limited_transmit = 1
             tcp_maxburst = 0
           tcp_nodelayack = 0
             tcp_finwait2 = 1200

Its all happening on 1 media server only, all the others are AIX and are
functioning ok.

Netbackup 4.5 FP6
AIX 5.1
