Periodically, my sessions will randomly hang, and I'll have to reconnect to get back into the MUD. When I reconnect, it acts as though I had just lost my link (which I did, obviously, since I reconnected), but the thing is that cMUD itself doesn't stop responding or anything like that. However, this happens on two separate MUDs, and it doesn't happen to anyone else I've asked on there.

I've noticed that it happens when I'm not doing anything, but I know it's not me voiding, because I would see the message, "You are idle, and have been pulled into the void." or something similar, but I keep my AFK flag on anyway, which prevents that altogether. So it must be something in my preferences, I think.

Whenever I set my timer to cast a spell every 50 seconds, and it does, then cMUD doesn't hang.

Any idea as to what could be wrong?

I have windows vista, 32-bit.

Does this only happen with CMUD? Normally this happens either because your router is set up to automatically drop connections that aren't being used, or because your MUD's incorrectly sending (or not sending at all) the keepalive packets that tell the router to keep the connection open. Neither of these should affect just CMUD.

Also, 2.36 is out now.
