Socket error during login but Port is Open and "Your router and Soulseek client is configured correctly."

[Ryan Martin]

If anyone could help me out here it would be greatly appreciated.

Basically I used Soulseek for about a month or two before having the socket error during login. I did the port forwarding, and got to where "Check Ports" gives Port: 55156/tcp open. Your router and Soulseek client is configured correctly.

Restarting the client doesn't seem to help.

I have "Use UPnP port mapping", "Use NAT-PMP port mapping', and "Enable Listening Ports" checked.

Here's the classic error message I get whenever I try logging in: Login failed. Reported failure reason: socket error. Please change your login settings in the Options tab and try reconnecting.

Is there a way to delete my account and reinstall with new login info?

Thanks, Ryan

I'm using SoulseekQt build 2018.11.16 on Windows 10 by the way.

Having the same problem -.-

Had the same issue. So beside listenng port I forwarded the server port also (you can find it in options just like the listening port) and made an exception for it in firewall. Now everything is fine.
