Category: win32 Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Alone (dryerflyer) Assigned to: Daniel Atallah (datallah) Summary: Cannot Connect socket/writing errors Initial Comment: for the last few months I have not been able to use GAIM. I figured I'd look into it finally. I am using the windows version. I have installed 2 different versions as of today, I don't remember what version I had installed when this all started happening. 1.50 and now I have the latest beta6 installed. A couple months ago, I couldn't get MSN to connect at all on this computer. I had the same version installed on my laptop at work and it worked fine. Then after about a month AIM stopped working on here as well. Yet it still works fine at work. I did a 10min browse of the old posts and I didn't see anything that applied. I get "Connection error from Notification server: Writing error" for MSN, and I get "Lost connection with server: Windows socket error #10107". Now I did notice there was a post about the #10107 socket error, and someone suggested that it was his firewall of some sorts. I have all my computer firewalls turned off, but I have yet to mess with my router. I wouldn't think that port forwading would need to be set up for this client to work? I also just remembered that this has been happening for months, and I just got the router. Also, when I try connecting with my yahoo account, it just hangs half way on the connection meter and never errors out, just never connects. I use MSN messenger Version 8.0 Build 8.0.0812.00 and I like the old school version of AIM 2.8.3111 Windows XP v '02 w/ service pack 2 The only Firewall I ever use is the AMerican Family Association's http://bsafehome.com/?13850 . Windows Firewall has been off for quite a while. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=100235&aid=1692220&group_id=235 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
