Been having this problem for a while now. Look at the below Log snippet. Every so often I get "Connection Reset" appear in my console log. I narrowed down this problem to someone or something sending requests to my Minecraft server and failing. How can I figured out the IP address of those requests which spam up my log and how can I configure my firewall to stop them? Any help would be appreciated. Details: - CB-1.3.1-R2 - Xubuntu OS - Default port: 25565 - Firewall: Firewall Builder - Host my own server.

Any help on either questions would be great. EDIT by Moderator: merged posts, please use the edit button instead of double posting.
Update: The "Connection Reset" spam is because of minecraft server list websites pinging the server in what I can only guess the wrong way. I resolved this issue by removing my server listing from the websites that sent out those 'bad' pings (and it doesn't affect me much since there's a lot of other server lists out there I can still use). There was still some "Connection Reset" spam going on even when I did that, so I banned the website IPs that were still sending out a 'bad' ping. I found out what the IPs were by logging into my router and viewing connection log history, I simply referenced the time on the router log to the "Connection Reset" time in my console and voila! Since I'm on a Ubuntu system, I used the following iptables command to ban the IPs: Code: sudo iptables -A INPUT -s {{IP}} -p tcp --destination-port {{PORT-NUMBER}} -j DROP And if it helps, here is a real command I used: Code: sudo iptables -A INPUT -s 50.17.13.85 -p tcp --destination-port 25565 -j DROP I hope this helps people out there.
lol, I changed the names to 'player' myself before posting that log. Not that it changes anything but I bought the game back in Beta.
Why chnage the name? you think use bukkiter's are gonnna steal your name and ban it? Ful start up log please
*sigh* Yet another thread with a legitimate question but derp answers. I love how when someone doesn't know the answer they just try to troll instead. Doesn't make you funny at all ... just points out the obvious.. your ignorant to the issue presented. -moves on to another thread with similar issue-
I know this thread is old, just wanted to confirm I had/have the same issue. Currently my server is listed on minecraft-servers.info (198.20.232.93), minecraft-server-list.com (94.231.109.64) and minecraftservers.org (141.101.112.15) I did this: Code: tail -f website.co.uk/logs/minecraft.log Whilst running this bash script: Code: #!/bin/bash netstat -pantu | grep -v LISTEN | grep 25565 >> reset.log echo -e "\n-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------" date +%R netstat -pantu | grep -v LISTEN | grep 25565 watch -n 1 ./reset.sh Then just matched up the time of: Code: 2013-05-16 14:40:02 [INFO] Connection reset and Code: 14:40 tcp6 0 0 serverIP:25565 50.116.54.77:34846 TIME_WAIT - Annoying thing is, that IP address isn't easy to pin to one of the three sites I used, as they use the following IP addresses for their website: 198.20.232.93 94.231.109.64 141.101.112.15 So I blocked the IP 50.116.54.77 and all still see me as online.
