Just keep trying to connect, you'll get the socket error every so often.
It'll work after a few attempts, dunno what causes it.
The fact it says you're 'not connected' could be because you are trying to join a server with a belt requirement too low or too high.
If you're trying to join the beginners server and you're, for example, an orange belt ..you can't connect as the belt requirements are white-yellow if i'm not mistaken.
Make sure you have the most recent toribash client, though, just to be sure. (3.94)
Not trying to do anyones job, but this isn't exactly discussion material.
