That happens as well, but with the mods marking #MC-2901 as duplicate of #MC-2879 I wanted to make sure that the full story was mentioned here.

Similar error reported on #MC-2901, but some details not reported on this thread.

Error/disconnect screen shows following: INTERNAL EXCEPTION: JAVA.NET.SOCKETEXCEPTION: SOFTWARE CAUSED CONNECTION ABORT: RECV FAILED

Previous post by myself:
"I'm having the same problem. No crash report generates. It only happens when joining servers, and has started happening suddenly. Like Friday for me. You'll join, have time to take a step, then receive that error on a "Connection Lost" type screen.

Also, when you go back to check the server, it shows as "unavailable" for a while. After refreshing it's back with the 4-5 bar signal you started with. I have checked with my friend who is operating a dedicated server and everything is running good on his end.

We're not the only people with this problem either, and it isn't an internet connection problem either. I still have steady signal as does my server operator.

This is currently making the game unplayable in multilayer. You can still play single player just fine."

And...
"From the look of it, the problem is deeper than simply a login error. I can get on sometimes, play for a few minutes, then get kicked. Log back on, the game loads, then get kicked again. Log on again, loads again. Each time it displays the error noted above. The login error only happens now and again."

I'm running Windows Vista, and current Java. have tried reloading Minecraft and Java with no luck. Have created Firewall and Anti-virus exceptions as well but still the problem persists.

Was able to play for 2hrs last night before the errors began again, but Monday and Tuesday I was able to spend a max of 5minuts at any one tiem, so it isn't a static issue.
