I have ejabberd set up on an Ubuntu server and many of my clients are connecting via Windows XP. For some reason, at what appears to be random times, a client will get the error message "Windows Socket Error #10061". It's not network-wide as some people are connected when the client receives this message. Once this client receives this error message, he/she usually can't connect for a few minutes, sometimes hours. After awhile, they can connect without a problem.
I know it's not necessarily a configuration error and the server or client is not behind a firewall.
Any idea why this is happening? Thanks in advance for your help!
I'm going to try openfire
I'm going to try openfire and see if that works any better.
You probably should first
You probably should first look at ejabberd log files, maybe and keep us posted.
