What os?
What is the DDE failure message and when does it occur?
Sounds a lot like a 1-off error to me caused by something else....perhaps
enabling a UDP server is causing it.  I wouldn't think a UDP client would
(since JTAlert always opens the UDP client, right?)

What NetFlow Analyzer can do for you? Monitors network bandwidth and traffic
patterns at an interface-level. Reveals which users, apps, and protocols are 
consuming the most bandwidth. Provides multi-vendor support for NetFlow, 
J-Flow, sFlow and other flows. Make informed decisions using capacity 
planning reports. https://ad.doubleclick.net/ddm/clk/305295220;132659582;e
