Hi all,

I was wondering if anyone has encountered this error and how did you resolve it:

Error receiving data (RB Socket read buffer result 0 0 Size=7/16972)
Connection lost
Authorization failed

Thanks.

Looks like the connection was lost which happens. Is this something happening over and over again?

I think this looks like your are auto blocked... I saw something like this
with a node last night.

Could be a couple things, one the wrong port or password on one side or the other.

Everytime. I consulted my downlink I connect to and that being said they use Mystic also. I advised to updating their copy, which they may/may not have done yet. Waiting on a reply.

That sounds like a reasonable answer to the problem. I sent an e-mail to
check my IP and see if it is in fact being blocked. First time I seen that error. Just odd as it has not happened before within the months I have been running Mystic. Thanks for that.

Could be that you're blocked.

That was it. After three connection failures, the system put a block on my
IP. The block has been handled, now just need to complete a poll session.
One typo can mess up the whole thing, looking into why it will not authorize.

I've seen this. When you get blocked the messages aren't real clear.
