| I've come across a problem that has been plaguing my MC 3.50 since I had reformatted this computer and reinstalled everything.
No matter what MU* I connect to, it seems to simply stop sending and receiving data to/from the MU* server. I don't get a message saying it got disconnected or timed out or anything. It would just stop. The easiest way to see this would be to connect using an autoroller for a random MUD and set the requirements really high. The connection seems solid enough to be getting around 10 rolls per second. I could leave it alone while doing something else and more often than not, when I come back the connection seems to have halted. I'll see the last roll still on the screen but there is no message saying the connection had been terminated but I get no response and simply have to disconnect and reconnect to the MU*.
I'm not sure what is causing this since I have no problems of this type with any other kind of constant connection like playing some online game or downloading a large file. There is never any amounts of packet loss except for days when my ISP is doing maintenance which happens only once a month at an odd hour when i'm usually not connected to a MU* anyway.
It is annoying since I would be holding conversations with people in a MU* or doing some random roleplay scene where there is some delay between people emoting or saying anything. So i'll switch out to view a website or something and come back, only to see that the connection seemed to have stopped and it tends to leave people hanging until I notice that the connection stopped since it would normally blink the taskbar icon if they emoted to let me know to check back. But since the connection is dead, I don't notice until it's too late usually. | | Top |

| I get occasional reports of this "no message" problem, however it doesn't seem to be related to the length of connection. For instance, my own copy right now has been running for 4 days 21 hours and is still going strong.
It seems funny it happened to you after you "reinstalled everything". What operating system are you using? |

| Its probably the SP2. How many other things are you doing when it happens?
Or more importantly, how many other things are you connected with?
Since SP2 only allows you a few connections at a time, it may or may not be a problem, but it definately has the ability to be, depending on how it deals with additional connections.
Also, the windows firewall might be monitoring and see something that looks like something wrong, and be cutting it off. Again, I dont know how the firewall works, as I am staying as far away from SP2 as possible. But that definately could be it.

| Not much, just web browsing usually.
I've already applied a patch to fix the connection limits that Service Pack 2 imposes so i'm back up to around 1000 connections rather than the limit SP2 was at.
I've also disabled the Windows Firewall. | | Top |
