[Dx4win] Trouble with dx cluster.

Fri Jan 1 18:27:52 EST 2021

Looks like db0sue is not responding on the dx cluster ports, although the server itself is up. The “forcefully rejected” message means that the server received your request to connect and said the equivalent of “I won’t let you connect there”. In the case of the W4MR cluster it wasn’t responding at all so in that case it’s like calling a telephone and getting no answer. In your case, you called and they hung up on you. (Yes IP purists, that is a simplified explanation).

For what it’s worth, the error you got (Winsock error 10061) is what you get from Windows (almost) any time you get a connection failure.

Again, the solution in this case is to contact the owner of the cluster. Good luck!

Hi,

I have the same problem today. Using the VE7CC cluster ande was always connected to DB0SUE-7 and now I am getting the "Winsock error".  When I change to VE7CC-1 cluster I get spots, but I preferred using the DB0SUE-7 because I can select to get only spots spotted from EU stations.

Attached is a copy of my VE7CC window. I thought the Winsock error was related to my PC, but reading your comments maybe it is related to the DB0 cluster being down.

Any comments, please.

73 and HNY,

The cluster appears to be down, that’s the issue. Try contacting the owner to let them know.

It's possible that your usual cluster is down, that happens with mine from

time to time. Which cluster is it?

Running version 9.0 on a Windows 10 laptop.  Suddenly without warning I

cannot connect to my normal dx cluster over the internet.  When I attempt to

connect my call appears in the top packet window.  I can however connect to

other clusters.

Any ideas?
