Off topic help for friends Son!

I have a friend ask me to look into this issue for his son, for a sandbox game he plays, he connects to his friends server which is dependant on javascript, this is a server which has his other friends there, but when he connects it doesnt let him do anything and after a minute kicks him out with this code as the reason.

Internal exception: java.io.IOException: an existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host

any ideas so i can try to help the lad out?

It could be a number of things: bad wifi connection or setting on the router, a Windows update (most likely not), he needs the latest version of Java installed, or quite possibly a game update and / or the server he is connecting to based on whatever determines that.

I would maybe vote for the wifi connection (possibly a recent update to the game) or alternatively, Java needs updating. I think they just released a new version by the way.
