Connection timed out: connect

Hello,

I am currently running some performance tests using WebLogic 10.3.2 as the application server on Solaris SPARC 10, the tests consist of sending and receiving SOAP requests and measuring being run using "The Grinder".  

Now at higher loads I am starting to see a number of "Connection timed out: connect" errors in my logs, I am just wondering if anyone has ideas on settings which may help decrease these errors

- TCP on Solaris?
- Threads in WebLogic (which are self-tuning)?
- Something else?

I have included the whole error message below too.
