Just today, after logging on, joining chat using Warcraft II or Warcraft III, I've been getting disconnected and don't know why. I was sitting here for a while thinking I screwed up something on my side, but then I go on EternalChat (http://botdev.valhallalegends.com/eternalchat/eternalchat.zip) which usually never has problems, using War2, then I get disconnected! Does anybody know if there were any changes lately in the servers? Packet restrictions on certain clients, or ...?
Edit: This is happening right after I join a channel, is anyone else having this problem?
Note: IPbanned on East, Asia, and Europe due to this crappy problem!
ewww sux0rs. Sorry to hear that bro.
This is usually due to reconnecting on the same server address periodically. You should change server address (not gateway, address) to prevent this. If you attempt to reconnect over and over while getting disconnected after logon, you'll be IP banned.
I have both a Warcraft II and a Warcraft III bot logged onto West, both development builds of StealthBot; neither is having disconnect problems. (Reconnected both of them as well.)
It's user-specific problem. I've been having the same problem sometimes before, I just change server address and it no longer does it.

Why would it be doing it to me only on War2 then? - I tried on D2, no disconnect, switched to War2 and disconnected
*shrug* Maybe server only remembers when you disconnect you based on server & product.

According to UserLosers statement, it happens after he joins a channel. If an IP ban is put in effect, he would not make it past the connection stage, Silly.
It is most definatly a Client Side Problem, as I have also had a warcraft 2 bot logged on right around the same time, no problems here..

Of course you're not having any problems, because you never violated anything. Server will disconnect violators after logging on & joining start-up channel.
Sorry for any confusion, but I would not have posted unless i took my bot into thurough testing on this matter, I have, and I have in many other cases similar to this, same results for me everytime.
Perhaps your buffer and or queue was not cleared when you reconnected, that can never be good..

No, that wouldn't case this.
