Thanx to all, have a nice day. I just this afternoon started getting this error. Now I cannot connect for more that 2min. Any idea's? I have tried all other suggestions and tried different networks same poblem.
Running on w2k. OK here is my situation which nothing has worked yet. I did the research too on this and came up with the same winsock stuff as well. Here is my setup and see if anyone has the same and can shed some light on this odd one. I have tried using all different types of software but all say the same thing. Ok so what is happening? I would love to get a resolve to this because it just started happening from going to Windows XP Home to Pro.
So is there something I am missing with the upgrade? Thanks for your time!! Joined: Oct BC, Canada. Recently I was working on my script with a lag timer. As soon as i got this time going full time the abort started to happen. When i stopped the timer this problem stopped too thought it might have been that the timer was a 0 5 second timer. I have not yet tested it with a 10 15 or 20 second timer.
London, UK. The problem has reached that point where a rival IRC client beckons. Once a 'software abort' occurs, the program loops between reconnecting and failing.
The fact that I can: 1. Close mIRC, restart it, and connect 2. Open a second instance of mIRC while the problem is occurring, and connect 3. Use another IRC client at the same time without trouble 4. Use any other network application at the same time without trouble point to a simple, copper-bottomed fact that it's a bug in mIRC code. There's absolutely no point looking at MTU values or any other machine-specific issues.
I'll check back in a couple of weeks to see if anything's been done, but I doubt it. Looking at the date of the first post here, and given that I've put up with this thing for months and months now, it's clearly an old and unsolvable problem. I'm not claiming they work for everyone, there are merely things others have found helpful, condensed here from all the other threads.
Firefox profile. Apart from that the probable solutions are:. As per Keep-Alive connection to geckodriver 0. AutomatedTester : This issue is not because we are not connected at the time of doing a request. If that was the issue we would be getting a httplib. HTTPConnection exception being thrown. Instead a BadStatusLine is thrown when we do a connection and close it and try parse the response. Now this could be the python stdlib bug, httplib bug or selenium bug. A Python client to replace urllib with something else that does not exhibit the same defect with Keep-Alive connections is WIP.
As I said, this would help mitigate this issue but not fundamentally fix it. In any case it is true that five seconds is probably too low to get real benefit from persistent HTTP connections, and that increasing it to something like 60 seconds would have greater performance.
Selenium 3. If you are affected by this issue please upgrade accordingly. As documentation says:. Software caused connection abort. An established connection was aborted by the software in your host computer, possibly due to a data transmission time-out or protocol error.
Also try to downgrade geckodriver 0. You can download it here. It seems to be a problem with geckodriver 0. This problem happened to me and as the error was intermittent, I initially believed that it was some firewall or antivirus problem, but it was much simpler. I had a form that was being submitted twice when the SEND button was clicked. Another reason: When a page served by python is loading ,user may cancel the loading before tranmission is complete,by pressing Esc or by clicking 'X' Stop loading this page button.
This is usually done when the server is slow. Eg if user goes to 1 and Press Esc before the image is fully loaded,this error will occur. In that case,you have to Handle it. I did the research too on this and came up with the same winsock stuff as well.

I have personally helped ppl that the problem is resolved by things like getting rid of a script, changing MTU values, not using port etc. I know some that have found "interference techniques" at the provider level have been the root cause. I also know others that none of these have helped.
A problem that only effects some ppl and is corrected by widely varying means and in some cases not at all makes it almost impossible to track down one specific cause that mIRC can control. I can sympathize that its annoying, several years ago i had the same problem and it drove me nuts. Turned out the problem in my case was an underground phone line issue. Here is what I tried: Using my link straight from my Road Runner connection.
I tried using Trillian's IRC I tried upgrading my drivers again for my network card. I am pinning it to something is wrong with Microsoft on this one. Let's face it Fair enough, now if you trace back the original error you will be brought to a winsock problem.
Yes that is used since Win 95, and even later editions of Win3. That however has not changed in MANY years. Therefore we can eliminate mIRC as the only one doing this, routers are fine. Now can anyone speak from a coding point of view on this as to what exactly does the winsock mechanism do and can it be botched? If so how? Let's try to get an active cure all resolve to this. Continue to place a bandaid on this That is all I really am going to say.
Howdy Folks, was on this a year ago and after seeing all the struggle in posts, and as I come to gather anything else on it I can, you haven't yet discovered the missing link, so I'm here to give it to ya. Everybody cheer for me! But, as you'll see, things are still short of a 'solution. Berkeley description: A connection abort was caused internal to your host machine.
The software caused a connection abort because there is no space on the socket's queue and the socket cannot receive further connections. WinSock description: Partly the same as Berkeley. The error can occur when the local network system aborts a connection. This would occur if WinSock aborts an established connection after data retransmission fails receiver never acknowledges data sent on a datastream socket. User suggestions: There are a number of things to check, that might help to identify why the failure occurred.
Basically, you want to identify where the problem occurred. Ping the remote host you were connected to. If it doesn't respond, it might be off-line or there may be a network problem along the way.
If it does respond, then this problem might have been a transient one so you can reconnect now , or the server application you were connected to might have terminated so you might not be able to connect again. Ping a local host to verify that your local network is still functioning if on a serial connection, see next step Ping your local router address.
Ping a host on the same subnet as the host you were connected to if you know one. This will verify that the destination network is functioning. Try a "traceroute" to the host you were connected to. This won't reveal too much unless you know the router addresses at the remote end, but it might help to identify if the problem is somewhere along the way. Any function that takes a socket as an input parameter--except close socket --could potentially fail with this error.
If you still end up not getting it to work, at least now you know whats 'actually' going on. Obviously those things are important and you do need to have a 'clean machine', yet if you'd really want to 'solve' the problem, a guess is to enlarge the winsock que of which I don't know how to do, or if you even can , yet even that would have no effect on not getting a return ACK. Good Luck. I still get the problem as well, and just as frustrating too.
Hey, all my hair did indeed grow back! Thanks for your post. Now i get error all the time and havent yet been able to sort it Being not a technical person I dont really understand most of what is being said here sad i know. Anyway I have windowsXP could someone plz tell me how to disable windows firewall? RIght click on connection icon in tray next to system clock on desktop - choose "Status" then a dialogue opens - choose "Properties" then click the "Advanced TAB" then untick the first checkbox - click OKAY.
This won't stop the issue with mIRC however. I think it's possibly those nasty RPC exploits still going around.
When you get the update from Microsoft to stop your comptuer shutting down, or run a firewall, the virus doesn't actually get removed. Just to toss in my IT-Drone. It's a bit like getting robbed and then finding out that the culprit lives in Los Angeles; a start, but not particularly helpful. At its core though, a is typically just a connection stability issue, and most of them that I've ever encountered, except, of course, the instance I'm trying to solve now, can be dealt with by doing one of a couple of things preferably both : 1 If you're behind a router, take all of the machines on your LAN off of the DHCP table just be sure to leave the service on so that you can use your router's LAN IP as a backup DNS.
Because DHCP can be, well, a little finicky in the stability department. Plus, it takes a bit of the load off of the router itself since it no longer has to 'decide' how to handle the connections from the PCs on the network. The reason for this one is simple. Particularly with XP and especially with XP Pro, due it being designed to run on professionally maintained networks , the super-low-latency defaults can play havoc with persistent connections read: connections that are allowed to idle over the internet-at-large.
An optimization will take care of it. Anyway, just thought I'd toss a couple of additional solutions into the mix in the hopes that they help somebody. Good luck to all you folks having problems out there. Disclaimer: There is no guarantee that doing either of these things will totally resolve the issue, but they will almost certainly reduce its frequency. Do NOT do it manually unless you know what you're doing. Use one of those. Hooray for online virus scanners!
The problem is not in Windows, is not in your network or anything else. I have this problem from 6. Now i'm using Ice Chat 5. It has themes support, scripting language and it's more stable and powerfull than mIRC.
I've had this error maybe twice in the past 3 years, and not once since upgrading to 6. I had the same amount of trouble with pIRCh a couple of years ago almost none, but a couple of times. But please keep in mind that if this problem were totally due to mIRC and had no relation to anything else, it would be happening to everyone all the time. It isnt and doesnt, which tells me the issue is more complex than simply blaming one piece of software. There are also numerous problems than can cause , this thread focuses on suggestions when it consistently happens to some users only while dccing and doesnt address other common causes for that error.
Hello everybody! So I uninstalled mIRC and everything went back to normal. No errors and no dropouts. I figured it had to be some kind of error during the installation so I tried again. And what do you know? The error returned I then tried updating, and tweaking everyhing on my computer drivers, windows, network settings etc , but norhing helped. I uninstalled again and gave it up for a while, but then I got thinking that maybe it wasn't a bug in my windows XP by the way but in mIRC, so I thought of trying a older version 5.
No error ever! Later I tried formatting my harddrive and installing a clean windows and then version 6. With 5. This has to be one of the hardest bugs to crack, ever! I'm not trying to place blame, just trying to suggest where to start looking for the problem. My advice to all you out there with this problem is to try different versions og mIRC until you find one that works for you! When polling server users, they mentioned, it was on some servers, while they were still connected to other servers they freq np, but they were getting disc on all the time on another at the same time.
I wish this was resolved or anyone finding any indicators to this issue? As of ?! I get this error ONLY when trying to connect to criten. I have no problem with any of the other networks. I actually got through for about 1 minute today, then I got that msg again. I re-tried like 50 times, but I could not connect.
I disabled the WinXP firewall and shut down my internet security program. Still no dice. Explain that one. That network is mostly well-known for it's file sharing channels.
Therefore, if you're mass file trading particularly big files on a slow connection that could well be the source of the issue. If you think this is the issue, stop file sharing If it's not that, and you're using Criten to chat, then perhaps it's an issue with the server you're on and not your end. Perhaps the server is being attacked. Try using several different servers. Alternatively, contact the network administration and see if they can offer further advice as to why it may be only Criten causing you this issue.
Best of luck. I probably should have made this post earlier, but I want to share a small little script I use that keeps me from getting the , and I used to get it several times a day on one network Freenode What happens is Freenode hardly ever sends out the PING event, and so mIRC doesn't get a chance to send anything to the server. I fixed this by pinging the freenode server every 10 minutes, then ignoring any reply.
This is what I have in a blank remotes file: Code:. That might be also the solution for this problem. It's a Winsock problem. I hope this helps somebody else out, it has certainly worked for me. Tallus I've been connected to efnet for 28 straight hours since, with no errors.
The entire registry mod takes less than 10 minutes. The killing of idle connections. I tried your suggestion tonight, and it worked. The reason why I found this forum thread is because I finally thought of seeing what this software abort thing may be due to, and how it might be fixed. So I used google to search and came across this thread. Auto-pinging the server at certain time intervals and anti-idle scripts didn't make the problem go away at all. But backing up the remote script to some storage directory just to keep a copy of it , and then clearing Mirc's remote script completely really worked.
I wonder how you managed to come up with this idea of clearing the remote script. Thanks for your time to mention this. Much appreciated. I had on for a few months and bough xp so i stuck that on thinking it will work but nope disconnects every dcc so i had to put back on. Hope this help people but from my experience its chance if this happends.
I formatted my computer like 6 times today! I just wanted to add what I experienced with this error as well. I kept getting this error over and over and could not figure out why. I could not connect to any server from the start. I would always get the error. After not finding any solutions, I reinstalled XP.
I then proceeded to reinstall all of my programs. After installing McAfee 8. I then uninstalled McAfee 8. I am reverting back to McAfee 7. Just wanted to add this to the list of possible problems. There could be possible conflicts with you AV software. I had McAfee version 8. Going back to AVG.
It could be an issue with xp2 and it's new security feature to limit half open TCP connections.. Check out this page.. I have the working solution for McAfee 8.
Hi, I've been reading just about anything and everything I can find about error, since I encountered this error 27 hours ago, and I have yet to fix the problem. Normally, after showing "Couldn't look up your hostname" message, it procedes to check IP address, then connection establishes. However, it hasn't done that since this error occured. There is abnormally long delay or generally slow during the connection attempts.
It took 12 minutes to try connecting twice, and I found it strange, since it rarely takes more than 2 minutes to connect. I am leaning towards server equipment failure, or error due to attack, but I cannot be sure. Can someone help me? And I am also bothered by "Couldn't look up your hostname" line. Any suggestion? I have had the same troubles for quite some time. Typically aborting every few minutes. After tons of research and web surfing I found something that worked for me.
So, to add to your list of resolutions Un-install ICS if installed. Un-install Dial-Up Networking. Do NOT reboot. Re-install Dial-Up Networking. Re-install ICS if desired. I'm also going to change my NIC card, but since I ran the utility above for XP and reset the winsock, I haven't seen this error at all.
Good luck with this headache if you have it! I'm having that [] problem too. I know the reason but im not sure how i can fix it so i need help. If i idle i get disconnected. I think it's my router's firewall becouse i dont have that problem when i take it off. But i dont want to take it off so im asking if you can help me.
Im using mIRC 6. I need your help! I havent used mirc in awhile, but recently started using again and geting this error. So far I've just upgraded to newest mirc verison to see if itd fix it, it didnt. Right now we have wireless networking in our house with comcast, but my comp is hardwired.
Does this function as a nat, because I also use a linksys befsr41, and itd probably be a bad idea to use 2 nAT's but I was getting this error even before I reconnected my NAT. So does that rule out the possibility of it being my system? Also some people say to configure TCP settings because windows default settings are usually for slower connections, how do I do that? All I need to know is where to find the settings, I'll figure out the rest. Any other advice would be appreciated. I had the same problem with MAfee v8.
I couldn't connect at all no matter what IRC client I used. There are options in the configuration for port blockers. Scroll through this and remove the IRC one's. Since I've done that I've been okay. I certainly hope that they are working on this issue cause its affected everyone I talk to on mIRC. Seems to me like its more like a problem with the mIRC software rather then something in Windows.
Hopefully the next version of mIRC will solve this problem. This is unlikely, as it isn't a "bug" in mIRC. Bugs occur to everyone. The only time I ever get this error is when there's a problem with the server I'm on or if my Internet connection is interrupted.
This error does happen to everyone at some point, hence this thread. But a new version of mIRC is not going to fix it. I use mirc and i am connected to 2 networks. Sometimes it disconnects me and tells me software caused connection abort. How can i solve this? There's no one solution for this problem.
Read through the suggestions given in this topic and try them. Currently running v6. I live on a university campus, and I do not use a router. Three days ago mIRC started giving me the Software caused connection abort message, and will not stop doing so.
I can connect to irc. I've gone through my computer and tested all the suggestions listed here in this thread. I can't find anything that could be causing this error. I've tried mIRC v6. Is this a software error indeed? Or is it more likely a network error? I can telnet to irc. Thanks in advance for your help. I have a application which will receive files from FTP and uploaded in to Mainframe server.
I am getting a 'Socket error software caused connection abort' when I assign. If I change this to FtBinary I'm not getting this error but data not uploaded properly in this mode. Software caused connection abort.
