I'm connecting to netgamers from behind a proxy, and have successfully configured mIRC with my proxy settings, hostname. passowrd etc.

I can connect to my preffered network and chat with no issues. However, if I am innactive for a period of a 2 or 3 minutes I am disconnected with message '[me] has quit IRC (Read error: EOF from client)'.

I've done a seach of these forums and found a little info on this message, but it's happening consistently each time I'm innactive - any thoughts on possible solutions or work arounds?

Your help is appreciated.
