ok, I've read all the replies and nothing is helping me troubleshoot this problem.
I didnt give much in way of specifics in my first post but I will now.
win2k pro w/sp3
Intel P3 933mhz
392mb pc150 sdram
7200 rpm 45gb ibm hd
gf2 ti 64mb
linkys 10/100 nic
sblive platinum
linksys 4 port router
charterpipline 768/128 "silver" cablemodem service
I'm still getting * [10053] Software caused connection abort errors dozens of times per day.
More often than not it wont even attempt to reconnect.
As I said before, I have icq, usenet (bnr) and ftp (flashfxp) up and downloads going 24/7.
NOTHING else is dropping connection but mirc.
I've started running xchat irc client and its doesnt drop.
What gives gurus?
cheers,
whiskey
