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!

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?

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

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.

Are you using ISA server?

Nope.

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

No, everything else seems to be fine...

Thanks,
Dan

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...

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
