Launcher Error

[Slayrite]

I've seen several similar errors but not the exact one I'm getting. The launcher loads and lets me put in my password, choose which sub to log in, and then the server. Then it reverts to the password screen. When I put it in it goes through 5 attempts the throws an error.
System.Net.WebException: The underlying connection was closed: An unexpected error occurred on a receive.

Any ideas? Thanks (I have submitted a ticket, just havent heard anything yet so I tried here.)

I have exactly the same problem as you. I don't know if the code is all the same but it looks similar at least. For what it's worth, it only does this to me on my tower running XP SP2. My laptop running Vista works fine. But there are times I'd like to run it on my tower and can't. I have submitted tickets on this too and from what I see on the forums lots of other people have too but no one seems to have a viable solution. There was one suggesstion you might try. It didn't work for me, but you might have better luck. Click the tools tab on Internet Explorer (whether you use it as your browser or not). Click Internet Options at the bottom, then click on the Connections tab, then the LAN Settings button. Make sure Automatically detect settings is checked. Like I said, it didn't work for me but there are some for whom it did. So good luck!
