Sweatbox Connection Issues

Over the past few weeks, I have noticed that I cannot remain connected to sweatbox for more than a few minutes before it disconnects me. I connect to sweatbox normally, then I will just lose connection even though everything seems okay at the time. But the weird thing is, on the live Vatsim server, I never get disconnected. I never used to have this problem. I have looked through my settings, my firewall, etc. and haven't found anything that looks to be a problem. I wouldn't be able to say the exact day I started having this issue as I don't log into sweatbox every day, but I noticed it first within the past week.

 

Does anyone have any thoughts on why this is happening? Is anyone else experiencing this issue? Any help or suggestions are appreciated. Thank you!

Which client are you using to connect to the Sweatbox server? Is there any error or warning messages?

I'm using VRC, and there are no error messages. Everything seems normal, then WHAM, all the aircraft targets disappear and at the bottom it says "disconnected".

I run Vista and had one isolated instance of being unable to load aircraft into ACSim last week. Concurrently another person also trying to load aircraft into ACSim had the same problem with an error message being given and then the aircraft loaded up would be lost after a couple of seconds. I have never seen this problem before. I was able to get things running normally by resetting the winsock by doing the following which I found online via a search.

 

Click on Start button.

Type Cmd in the Start Search text box.

Press Ctrl-Shift-Enter keyboard shortcut to run Command Prompt as Administrator. Allow elevation request.

Type netsh winsock reset in the Command Prompt shell, and then press the Enter key.

Restart the computer.
