Problem connecting to hub

Post by ganesha »

Hey all,

Last week I had no problem connecting to the hub (on-campus, using stunnel) but when I tried today I got the following message:

*** Connecting to localhost:8000...
*** Connected
*** An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host.

Any ideas what has happened? And how to fix it?

Also, I posted this message before but I think someone deleted it - why??

Thanks

Nobody will have deleted your post before....

As for the problem, is stunnel actually running? ie. is the icon for it int he system tray? If it is, then i suggest a redownload of it (+deleting current copy + extraction + running stunnel.exe)

Not sure what happened, but it's working again!

I re-installed stunnel and it still wasn't working. Tried again a few hours later (just now) and it's working. Hadn't changed any settings or installed new software.

Bizarre, but I guess that sometimes happens with computers!

Sorry to clog up the board and ask annoying questions again :(
