A socket is what you use to communicate over a network (for example to connect to a server on the Internet). The error message means that a program was trying to receive data from a remote computer over the network, but no no data was received for a period of time, so the program stopped waiting for the data to be received.
Is this an error message that you get when you run your own program? If you want us to help you solve the problem, then please explain in more detail what you are trying to do, show us your code, explain exactly when and where the exception occurs, etc.
