Curious what is happening when you run it? I have a pretty good load of
BBS's connected right now and most of the time. :)

Are you using the new 1.1 version and also does this happen right when you
load it or over time as its being run, there is a way to reload the python.

Just not sure which version of windows you are on but can do the following if you are Vista or above:

@ECHO OFF
:LOOP
python mrc_client.py tbbs.homeip.net 5000
TIMEOUT /T 1
GOTO LOOP

This would reload if crashes somewhere when your not around.
Let me know if this will help!

Cheers!

Did someone change anything from what I had done? It seems to be running
slow or something else was altered.

I know you have a few hands on your system, please let me know.

Thanks for your help with this. Originaly, I changed nothing. It just stopped connecting. Since then, my 'fixes' have screwed everything up. :-)

I found the upgrading of the 'Spell Checker' caused problems so I've had to remove it. I tried going back to the previous version of MRC but no go. I
guess this old XP32 machine won't be able to cut it.

Think I'll just leave everything alone. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. :-)

ouch. :( sorry to hear this.

Ah ok XP so the above would have never worked, OK things to check to ensure
MRC is working properly on any machine:

1. Python version 2.7.11 (do not use newer version they are not supported).
2. How to load MRC might need python mrc_client.py tbbs.homeip.net 5000

XP is more tricky on a looped batch file but here is a possible solution to help keep the process running.

@ECHO OFF
:LOOP
python mrc_client.py tbbs.homeip.net 5000
@ping 192.0.2.2 -n 1 -w %1000 > nul
GOTO LOOP

Explanation of the @ping:

Since the address does not exists, it'll wait 1,000 ms (1 seconds) and
returns.

The -w 1000 part specifies the desired timeout in milliseconds.
The -n 1 part tells ping that it should only tries once.
The > nul part is appended so the ping command doesn't output anything to screen.

Let me know if any of this helps!

Cheers!

The above 5 lines works fine for me on my system, thanks for the info help! I've found my MIS unloaded (crashed) last night from 8:33pm till noom today, so

I might just start loading it from a LOOP batch also.

No matter how I try and execute this Python script, it returns the same
errors as before. I found an updated version of Python for XP, re-installed
the older version of MRC (that used to work here), re compiled, and nothing.
It connects to you for a sec, then craps out.

Waiting on that IRC Connect thing someone is working on.

Thanks again Pequito.

Glad could help I know this has been an issue on finding a solution that
works on XP. :)

Never want the older version of MRC alwats 1.1, anything older I found will have more issues on the connection or least keeping. Lot has changed from
prev versions to the current 1.1 version.

If you ever want me to Teamview into the box and see if can get working properly I would be more then happy to help and check it that way. :)
