[see http://www.uwsg.indiana.edu/hypermail/linux/net/9811.2/0031.html] I have also been seeing this problem intermittently. I am running RedHat 5.2. Relevant packages: apache-1.3.3-1, kernel-2.0.36-0.7, glibc-2.0.7-29. Ethernet card: 3c59x driver on 3c905-B. Symptom: apache is running on 209.66.78.11. The first time I connect to it from any machine (tested on Linux and NT, Netscape and IE), I get the Netscape pop-up (or IE equiv) saying: A network error occurred while Netscape was receiving data. (Network Error: Connection reset by peer) (If you know why this happens, please let me know; below I include more data for others trying to figure this out.) Hit reload and it works fine, but if the page is reloaded enough times (1 minute apart, 5 to 30 min later), it can happen again. I set up tcpdumps at client and server and caught it in the act. The tcpdumps are below. The problem is in lines 2&4 of the client tcpdump. The client sees two SYN packets from the server, one right after the other, with radically different sequence numbers. The server only notices sending out the SECOND one, so ACKs to the first one confuse it into sending a RESET. Similarities/differences with Michael Talbot-Wilson's experience: similar - my machine does answer to a DNS record that is internal-only (unknown to internic) different - my machine is only bound to one IP address - no virtual hosts in apache conf For now, I am going to try the ol' reboot and see if it goes away. I would love to hear any ideas on this one!!!
