new 3.2 release possible problem

Since upgrading from rc2 to 3.2 I am finding a lot of users getting dcd with Connection reset by peer . I have two dns addresses I use for access and it is only effecting the public address . but not the staff one . Ive queried this with the dns service I use and am waiting a reply back . Is there anyway I can make the server more tolerant so it doesnt dc ppl so quickly if they are idling ?.

Changed the client ping freq from 90 to 180 and its still dcing ppl . Will change it to 300 and see .

Right its dcing ppl dead on 6 mins which is what the ping frequency is. As long as ppl are typing they are ok but as soon as they idle it dc's them . Any other ideas ? . nothing has changed I went from 3.2 rc2 to the 3.2 final . its the win32 version without the ssl . Got me baffled .

"Connection reset by peer" has nothing to do with the IRCd. You have to blame ISPs for that. If it were "Ping timeout" that's another story, but a peer message means someone else (a hop along the way) is closing the connection. Unreal has no control over that.

hmmm think I have found the problem . Im using win-bopm and it looks like that is interfering . I shut it down and the phantom dcs stop . Bizarre .
