Lost Connection to Mudlet every 30 mins

Post by elliottt2008 »

About every 30 minutes, I'll get a Lost Connection to Host with Lusternia. It has been frequent for the past few days. I'm not sure how I can fix the issue so that I can frequently play again with combat and bashing and the like without having to worry about knowing I'll be disconnected. Any help would be appreciated.

Does it happen in the middle of action?

Usually, it is your network router that cuts the connection after nothing has been happening for a while.

Ya. I read those comments in another topic, but I'm getting disconnected in the middle of things. Most of the time it's right after i do my defenses or am harvesting.

EDIT: Here is the stuff I'm getting.. Took 1m 21s for me from the time I did the teleport until I got the disconnect info.

You tug upon the aether strands around you, searching for one that connects to Telperion.
7300h, 6550m, 9300e, 7p, 26400en, 26400w Bxb<>- [ 24253037 ] (-250m, 3.7%)
[ INFO ] -
[ INFO ] - Socket got disconnected. The remote host closed the connection
[ INFO ] - connection time: 00:12:43.790
[ INFO ] -

What does the disconnect message say?

You can also get this if your router does DHCP and you have an unusually short lease time on your IP address - typically it would be around 86400 seconds (a day) but I've had a mis-configuration issue before now where the address was only leased for a minute or two, and the drop/get another lease (even if the IP address is not changed) cycle also cuts TCP connections...!

[EDIT] Although this could have been a symptom of IP address clashes if you have both static and dynamically allocated addresses and one of the manually set up addresses that a host gives itself clashes with the range that the router was told to use for DHCP!!! {I forget that I was running a server at x.x.x.2 (it is also my IPv6 tunnel gateway but THAT is a whole different story!) as well and that I must exclude it from the range that the router at x.x.x.1 was to use: x.x.x.3 and up NOT x.x.x.2 and upwards...}

I've not had a problem with this, even fell asleep while connected before and stayed up until I qq'd, until recently.. The other day, I did play for about 3 hours without a single disconnect, but it's starting again where I'm being disconnected about every 30mins or so..
