hi

I was getting 2 closed socket errors one over the other quite a lot - it ranged from once every hour to 5 or 6 times an hour depending on how annoying it wanted to be.

after changing my IP, router, all of my hard drives (which meant a clean install of both win7 and eve) and changing from Wi-Fi to cable, only to find the problem was still there.

I found an article about win 7 having problems with some network cards - in the end I went to my device manager and right clicked on my network device, selecting "properties" -> "advanced" and turned the "Interrupt Moderation" to "Disabled"

apparently, the "Interrupt Moderation" tries to stop packets of data so the computer can keep up with large amounts of data that it can receive.

since I've done this I've had no errors at all .

I just thought that I would share this as when I was looking for a solution all I could find was posts about pinging things and blaming ccp - so if your having the same problem, it's worth a try (even if it turns out to be something else)

In my haste to share this, I didn't see that a thread on this subject was already there - my apologies for making things untidy.
if any dev wants to delete this post, I've copied it into the pre-existing thread, so it will be ok to do so :?)
