TwrTrainer Winsock Error (10061)

I've been using TwrTrainer fine, but since tonight when I open the gnd.air file, it spits out 20 winsock 10061 errors. I have tried everything; checked my CID and p[Mod - Happy Thoughts]word, I deleted the antivirus software off my computer and it still doesn't work. Reinstalled TwrTrainer. Nothing works.

 

" The following winsock error occurred with index 0

(10061) Connection is forcefully rejected "

 

Maybe the sweatbox doesn't like me

 

Thanks for the help.

That error usually means a connectivity problem, not a software or CID/pw problem. Perhaps the sweatbox server was down at the time? Or maybe your ISP was having routing problems? Were you able to connect to the sweatbox with an ATC client?

I am on it now on VRC, I have just deleted and redownloaded the twrtrainer files, still no luck.

 

UPDATE: Another controller tried to log in, it gave the same error, I am taking it is a server issue and will try tomorrow.

 

Thanks

As I usually do on Tuesdays, I clicked to connect to run our TWR Trainer to start our TWR Controller Trainning session and got the socket error described above...

I hope you can solve this problem.

Take Care

Same error at ZKC. Also tried ACSim, but the files won't load either.

Double Check that your TwrTrainer config file is not using the IP address, but the hostname sweatbox.vatsim.net .. The Server moved today, and the IP address will not necessarily stay the same.
