It may be that your Linux box runs out of ports, but as you omitted the
error I can't tell for sure.

try (as root)
echo 1024 32768 >/proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_local_port_range

For very large (3000+ concurrent connections) Linux servers you may also
have to tune /proc/sys/fs/file-max and /proc/sys/fs/inode-max.
