Vincula Socket read error. Software caused connection abort

When my computer disconnects from the internet, I receive the following vincula message:

Socket read error in msn.server.3579: [10053] Software caused connection abort.

Now the problem I have, is that the names all remain showing in the nicklist, so it still looks like I am connected to the chat room, even though I am not.

A few years ago I had added a fix to vincula so that no names showed up in the nick list when my computer disconnected from the internet.. thus clearly showing that I had been disconnected.

Unfortunately I have lost that fix, and do not remember what I did, and the vincula files I have now do not contain the fix.

Does anyone remember how to fix this, so that when the computer disconnects from the internet, vincula will clear the nicklist so that you can tell you have been disconnected.

Thanks,

Gwen

I cant say that I remember very well, but I'm guessing your using 6.14 >. Try again with 6.03. It may be something with the way the Vincula and 6.14 > conflict. I'm not real sure as I've never encountered this error.

i had these problems and more with 6.17 , so i dropped back to 6.16 and all is fine again now

grr, that's what I thought afterwards. Vincula just uses the default mIRC nicklist doesn't it.

There must be someway to code into vincula to clear the default mIRC nicklist when your comp is disconnected, isn't there?

Okay my rusty brained recalled the fix.

This might only be an issue with mIRC 6.17, but to fix it, it's just a matter of adding in /disconnect

Search the Vincula file for: Local Aliases

;--- Local Aliases
alias msn.sockerr {
 if (msn.look.* iswm $1) {
   .timer $+ $1 off
   window -c @Vincula $+ $gettok($1,3,46)
   .timer 1 1 msn.lookcon
 }
 else scid $activecid echo $color(ctcp) -at 4• Socket $2 error in $1 $+ : $sock($1).wsmsg
}

Change the above code to this:

;--- Local Aliases
alias msn.sockerr {
 if (msn.look.* iswm $1) {
   .timer $+ $1 off
   window -c @Vincula $+ $gettok($1,3,46)
   .timer 1 1 msn.lookcon
 }
 else { /disconnect
scid $activecid echo $color(ctcp) -at 4• Socket $2 error in $1 $+ : $sock($1).wsmsg
}
}

*This should now clear the nicklist when your computer disconnects from the internet, so that you can tell you have been disconnected from the room.
