Hello,
I just have a small query about windows socket error 10060. If any person knows about this, then please share your knowledge on the same.
Thank you.
A socket error with code 10060 is a Win sock fault. It occurs by either outgoing connection bugs or connection bugs on the host end.
10060 is a problem of connection-timeout which displays when the client does not get a reply from the server for a command. This problem often occurs when you attempt to connect to a server in PASV mode that considers PORT more for data connections. If you notice an error log, then click the Type tab in the Site Properties of the problem site, and switch the Data Connection Type to Use PORT.
That dialog obviously came from the website you visited. You receive a Windows Winsock 10060 timeout error when you are trying to visit a website that is currently experiencing high visitor volume. Another possible cause of the error is if you are trying to connect to a server that doesn’t exist.
If you receive the error when visiting a website, it means there is network congestion happening on the site. And if this is the case, you should try visiting again after a couple of hours. If you are visiting the site on peak hours or at night time when everybody’s at home, try visiting again during off-peak hours or during the day.
