[Errno 10054] An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host

Similar issue to the previous thread I posted in:
but here is my specific set up and log files as requested...
 
===
 
aTV2 (MC572X/A)
 
Firmware:
5.2.1 (6025)
 
aTV DNS:
192.168.178.20 - local machine
(originally 192.168.178.1 before using PlexConnect)
 
This setup is pointing to my desktop:
Windows 7 x64 SP1
version 6.1.7601
Local IP: 192.168.178.20
 
PlexConnect:
Downloaded from both the original iBaa repository, and the fork by Plex Inc - 06/06/2013 13:02 (GMT +10)
 
Plex Media Server:
version 0.9.7.22-4b5280f
 
Media is stored on an internal drive and I can access it fine via the iOS app over my local WiFi network.
 
===
 
It seems that my aTV can not connect to the Internet when configured to use the PlexConnect DNS on my local machine.
This is evident by the fact that it only displays two icons on the home screen - Computers and Settings.
 
Please see the following for my log file:
I get the same errors using both versions of PlexConnect.
 
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

sounds like you have not put the correct DNS Server IP into settings.py when you edited it.

sounds like you have not put the correct DNS Server IP into settings.py when you edited it.

I checked both settings.py files, and found the following:

# DNS/WebServer
def getIP_DNSmaster():  # Router, ISP's DNS, ...
    return '192.168.178.1'  # google public DNS

So the Python script is pointing to my original DNS server - my local ADSL router

I also tried the explicit DNS settings provided by my ISP, with the same result...

Any other ideas that I could try to troubleshoot this issue...?

No clue how to trouble shoot it.. It comes at random times Right away or maybe after several hours

Everything works I can use Trailers to Plex and normal Youtube and Airplay (Don't use it for anything else)

Everything will stop working when this happens (which makes good sence, hence the DNS won't return)

DNSServer : -> DNS response from higher level
DNSServer : Shutting down.
Process Process-1:

Download v0.1 from the link in the releases section of the wiki.

This issue has been fixed in this version.

PS make sure you are not running your PLexConnect device in a DMZ as this may also cause this issue.
