Hello,

I followed every FAQ/help article on your website before reaching out.

The owner of the realm is located near Kansas City, and I live in central Illinois so I know my location shouldn't be a factor. As for every other detail required, I will re-share what I sent in the first email below.

I am constantly getting kicked out of my friend's Minecraft realm receiving the following message:

Connection Lost: Internal Exception: java.io.IOException: An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host

I have tried re-installing Minecraft, restarting my PC, turning firewall completely off, verifying that UPnP is turned on for every router port. My PC is connected to the router via ethernet cable, and every online game I play runs perfectly. For some reason I cannot stay connected to friend's Minecraft realm and it ranges from a minute to several minutes before I receive the message above. Can you please help me figure out what's wrong?

Thank you so much for your time.
