Title: Mysterious failing Connections Hi All, I was wondering if someone could provide me with some explanation of an event that occurred on my firewall recently.
One of the hosts (Host1) could not connect to the Web Server and it could not email me. I could see traffic from that host to both the web server and the SMTP server, but entries did not exist for it in either the Web server or SMTP server logs. Normally, I see entries for both hosts. In fact, Host2 continued to work properly through all of this. I could see entries from it through the firewall and on the web server. It didn't encounter any problems, so it never emailed me. I stopped and restarted the firewall, and suddenly Host1 sent me 14 emails and I could see entries from it on the web server. I have failed connections being watched in performance monitor, but I didn't see any. What happened? Has anyone encountered this kind of thing before?
