- Minecraft disconnecting issues -

Not sure if anyone else was being dropped due to a socket error but here's a fix below that worked for me: (copy / repost from another forum)

ERROR
------

Connection lost

Internal exception: java.net.SocketException: Connection reset by peer: socket write error


Some people are reporting those errors with particular network cards (Atheros is pointed out).

FIX
---

Start Button -> Control Panel -> Hardware and Sound -> Device Manager -> Network Adapters
Right Click the Atheros Card -> Properties -> Advanced
Select Transmit Buffers, and change the value from 256 to 512.
***Select Each of the things with "Checksum Offload" and disable them.
Click Okay
Run Minecraft
