Read Error: EOF from client - mIRC Discussion Forums

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.

As a thought, might it work to set an automated message to send to a channel every minute or so so I'm not innactive?

Something like the script mentioned here:

you could try:
on *:connect:/timer 1 40 /quote ping $ticks
on *:pong: {
var %time = $calc(($ticks - %time)/1000)
set %ping.pong.lag. [ $+ [ $server ] $+ . $+ [ $network ] ] %time
}
menu status,channel {
Server lag: [ %ping.pong.lag. [ $+ [ $server ] $+ . $+ [ $network ] ] ] MS:/echo -a Server lag: [ %ping.pong.lag. [ $+ [ $server ] $+ . $+ [ $network ] ] ] MS
}

this snippet should keep you connected, and also telll you your approx. lagg to the server ^^, im not sure if the menubar will work tho. copy past this to your remotes, and right click on the stats/channel window and it should tell you. if you click on it, it will echo it to the window.

*fix: replace $1 with $2

Thanks for taking the time to respond.

That piece of code certainly gave me an extra option if I right click the channel window. However I get an MS:/ECHO Unknown Command message in the status window.

I'm not sure I understand your second post (the fix). Replace $1 with $2. Would you be able to expand?

Thanks again

Bump.

Still same problem.. have scoured threads to try and find something that's gonna help but to no avail so far.

Perhaps if I understood the correction above then this would do the job..?

Use this:

Code:

on 1:connect:.timer 0 70 lag
on 1:pong:{
  if ($2- isnum) {
    var %l = $calc(($ticks - $2-) / 1000)
    if (%l &gt;= 0) { echo 4 -s Got answer from server: %l seconds lag. }
  }
}
alias lag .quote PING $ticks

Just that this code will fill your status with Got answer from server... blahblah
If you want to hide that, use this code:

Code:

on 1:connect:.raw ping : $+ $ticks

That's all
