  2. That's not your fault. The Socket Exceptions are your fault.. I think

  3. I get this error all the time, but it isn't an EMC issue, or indeed even a minecraft issue. The problem for me stems from my ISP, they tend to refresh the connection every 1-2 hours, which causes minecraft and all other Internet based programs to disconnect and reconnect, taking a minute or two each time. The way I tell that it is my ISP at fault is that when I launch minecraft, the launcher won't display any of the version information on the left, but instead shows a message written in small black letters at the top of the launcher window.
    Hope this information helps :)

  4. oh, i never said or implied it was an EMC issue, as it not only happens here but on my own server as well, i always tought it had to do with my Java runtime platform, or something with my drivers and the update on 1.1... i force reset my router, and it hlps for a bit... now it goes 2-3 hours w/o losing connection... but oh well :shrugs: i guess thast how it is and i gotta live with it

    Btw thanks for the help guys,
