Connection reset by peer errors


Recommended Posts

I'm running Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition SP2. Around the time

I applied the SP2 update, users of my website who needed to download

large-ish (4MB - 12MB) files consistently started getting "Posix

error, connection reset by peer" errors.

 

Did something change in the SP2 update that would effect this?

 

Regardless, does anyone have suggestions on what to do to fix it?

 

Thx

Thanks Coraleigh, that definitely looks promising. I'll go ahead and

apply the fix that's listed in that KB article, and pray for the best!

 

Much appreciated, thanks again.

Re: Connection reset by peer errors

 

Unfortunately, it looks like that MS patch didn't fix the problem -

I'm still getting connection reset errors, regardless of browser used,

Mac or PC.

 

Any other thoughts?

 

Thanks...

Re: Connection reset by peer errors

 

Do you have any related Event ids in your event log?

Did you try all the Workarounds in the article as well?

Are you using ISA server?

Are you experiencing any other networking type issues? Any internal?

Nothing specific I can see. I *do* see a ton (2 per second!) of

System events from MSFTPSVC, failed login attempts due to bad password

or username. Seems like someone is trying to break in. Could that be

the problem? How do I block that?

> Did you try all the Workarounds in the article as well?

 

Yes - I applied the Resolution patch, and then also did Step 3 (Method

2, at the Registry level) and Step 4. I didn't do step 1 (not running

ISA server), and I couldn't find any new network drivers for Step 2.

Nope.

> Are you experiencing any other networking type issues? Any internal?

 

No, everything else seems to be fine...

 

Thanks,

Dan

Re: Connection reset by peer errors

 

If your MSFTPSVC is an id 100 warning then it is due to people trying to log

into your system via FTP and having incorrect username or passwords. If you

do not use or need the FTP service you should uninstall it (via Add/Remove

programs-> Windows Components->Application Server-> IIS->FTP), or at least

disable the service. However, you said that you have external users who

download files from your website, if they are doing this with FTP then you

obviously should not remove it. :-)

 

I will do more thinking on this tommorrow.. in the meantime does anyone else

have any ideas for dnigrin?

Re: Connection reset by peer errors

 

Yes, those are the errors, but no, I can't turn the service off, as I

do need FTP running. I've not yet tested to see if the connection

reset errors occur with FTP (I will) - so far, all the errors have

been with *web* (HTTP) downloads.

 

One last thing I should mention - although I *think* that the errors

starting at the same time of the SP2 upgrade, I'm not positive about

that. Could some other automated MS update (I allow them to be

applied automatically) be the culprit? It's definitely something new

within the last month or two though...

 

Thanks for all your help thus far Coraleigh!

Re: Connection reset by peer errors

 

Small bit of followup - FTP downloads work fine; it's just HTTP

downloads which are stalling and having the connections reset.

 

Thanks in advance...

Re: Connection reset by peer errors

 

Ahhh..so perhaps we should look closer at your iis website config.

 

Take a look at your IIS Connection Timeout setting...

 

About Connection Timeout:

Re: Connection reset by peer errors

 

Thanks Coraleigh - I'll give those a look, though honestly I'm not

optimistic - I haven't touched those IIS settings in a long time, and

I didn't have the problem before. So unless one of the recent MS

updates changed something there on there own...

Re: Connection reset by peer errors

 

I doublechecked those settings, and they're all set at the defaults.

Also, the behavior when trying to download a file is that the download

starts, and is proceeding at a normal clip, when all of a sudden it

fails when the connection is reset. So it certainly doesn't seem as

though the connection is idle for a while, and then fails...

 

Ugh... I wish I could solve this!

Re: Connection reset by peer errors

 

Darn this is a tough one!

 

What is the file version of your \windows\system32\http.sys file on your iis

server?

You could run a sfc /scannow http://support.microsoft.com/kb/310747 to

verify that your system files are all the correct version, and fix any that

arent. Make sure you have a good backup of course before running this.

 

Also, you should try posting your issue to the

microsoft.public.inetserver.iis group site as they will be more

knowledgeable with iis specifically.
