I am having problems with my local webserver, where 9 out of 10 times when I try to access page, I get connection refused, but if I come back an hour later 1 out of 10 times it does work. The clients are windows XP, and apache is running on gentoo Linux. At first I thought maybe a firewall was to blame, but as you see below, the traffic is getting through. Can anyone see anything from looking at the tcp logs below? Thanks in Advance, Brian On server using tcpdump on Gentoo Linux: 08:41:29.556167 IP 10.0.0.147.1092 > 10.0.0.1.80: S 3674532880:3674532880(0) win 65535 <mss 1460,nop,nop,sackOK> 08:41:29.556232 IP 10.0.0.1.80 > 10.0.0.147.1092: R 0:0(0) ack 3674532881 win 0 08:41:30.017045 IP 10.0.0.147.1092 > 10.0.0.1.80: S 3674532880:3674532880(0) win 65535 <mss 1460,nop,nop,sackOK> 08:41:30.017129 IP 10.0.0.1.80 > 10.0.0.147.1092: R 0:0(0) ack 1 win 0 08:41:30.517615 IP 10.0.0.147.1092 > 10.0.0.1.80: S 3674532880:3674532880(0) win 65535 <mss 1460,nop,nop,sackOK> 08:41:30.517692 IP 10.0.0.1.80 > 10.0.0.147.1092: R 0:0(0) ack 1 win 0 On client using Ethereal in WinXP: 54 13.030348 10.0.0.147 10.0.0.1 TCP 1092 > http [SYN] Seq=0 Ack=0 Win=65535 Len=0 MSS=1460 55 13.030637 10.0.0.1 10.0.0.147 TCP http > 1092 [RST, ACK] Seq=0 Ack=0 Win=0 Len=0 59 13.491376 10.0.0.147 10.0.0.1 TCP 1092 > http [SYN] Seq=0 Ack=0 Win=65535 Len=0 MSS=1460 60 13.491911 10.0.0.1 10.0.0.147 TCP http > 1092 [RST, ACK] Seq=0 Ack=1 Win=0 Len=0 64 13.992120 10.0.0.147 10.0.0.1 TCP 1092 > http [SYN] Seq=0 Ack=0 Win=65535 Len=0 MSS=1460 65 13.992676 10.0.0.1 10.0.0.147 TCP http > 1092 [RST, ACK] Seq=0 Ack=1 Win=0 Len=0 --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
