Socket Error

Aug 28 12 1:28 am

I'm getting a lot of Socket Errors. Almost any site is giving me this:

Socket Error
Connection to Remote Host timed out {Thd 6248} [socket #6E58, 0.0.0.0:64694 to :0]


The example above was when I tried to access google.com. Btw, if I press F5, then the site opens.

Accessing sites without wingate never give me any error.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

I've forgot to say:

I have updated to 7.2.7.3453 on the hope to fix the errors, with no success.

Hi

apologies it took so long to reply!!!

I'm suspicious that it's a DNS issue. Can you check that DNS resolution works on the WinGate computer? For it to fail initially then succeed on a retry makes me suspect some interaction with a cache (e.g. DNS cache).

After the refresh and it connects, are there still issues accessing the site, or does this happen each connection to the proxy?

We may need to look remotely at your server to debug this.

Regards

Adrien
