Hello Sam,

This is VTERR 42, most common causes:
  1. Remote PC has powered down or re-booted instead of shutting down
     the VT & TCP software.

  2. This error is also commonly seen when (2) PC's have the same IP
     address configured.  These (2) PC's will not be able to operate
     at the same time with a duplication IP address, so the last one
     which has booted up and started the TCP software will be the
     one working, until the other PC experiencing the problem reboots
     and then they are the working system.  Each PC must have a unique
     IP address.

  Hope this helps.
