Can Network problems bring down Tomcat??

["Hawkins, Keith (Keith)" <kp...@avaya.com>]

I am trying to determine cause of why a Tomcat process keeps going down
at a particular site.
I notice from some of our application log files that socket errors are
occurring between our client
and server.  I also notice socket errors between the isapi redirector
and tomcat.   

Has anyone heard of network problems causing Tomcat to fall over??

Thanks,
Keith
