Hi,
We have installed SOS 4.1 server (licenced) on an Windows XP machine with SP2.
The server boots up properly- clients can connect to it for around 20 minutes and then teh client just hangs. When we try to login again- it hangs at the status bar showing 'Logging in'.
We see the following exception in the logs:

Server Exception (407): [dir - Input string was not in a correct format.] - UNRECOGNIZED_MESSAGE

The error logs are attached.

The first thing to check is if you're experiencing a concurrency crash:

This could explain why SOS works for a while and then quits.

Server Exception (407): [dir - Input string was not in a correct format.] - UNRECOGNIZED_MESSAGE

This error usually indicates HTTP traffic on the port used by the SOS Server. This can happen if someone tries to connect to the SOS server port via a web browser. This can also crash the server, but I don't see too many instances of this message in the log.
