ISW Sync halts

I have ISW syncing from AD to Sun DS. It stops syncing without much information in the ISW logs. In the Sun DS Error Logs, I see the following events.

>>>>

[19/Oct/2006:14:57:31 -0400] - WARNING<38781> - isw - conn=-1 op=-1 msgId=-1 - Plugins TCPSocket.cpp:210(logCode=2105, connectionID=0) Failed to connect to ldapisw1.simple.net:7388 because 'NSPR: Connection refused by peer ' (-5981)

Any ideas. I saw similar events in the Forums, but I do not see any clear solution for this issue. Please help.

I am not sure if it's useful for you at this stage. However, this error message is not harmful. The messages show that the DS plugin is trying to establish a socket connector with the DS Connector Host sans any success. Most probably the DS COnnector host is down. If not then DS Plugin host can't resolve the DS Connector hostname.
