Thread: Dropped TCP Connections

  1. #1

    Question Dropped TCP Connections

    We have a SonicWall set up monitoring our T1 line, but lately we're having somet rouble with connections being dropped. The log appears as such (first ip address listed is the source, the second the destination):

    05/04/2004 10:57:37.320 TCP connection dropped 64.252.69.111, 3365, WAN 192.168.1.86, 2745, LAN Type: 274 Rule: 12
    05/04/2004 10:52:32.448 TCP connection dropped 64.231.248.141, 3068, WAN 64.66.82.50, 2745, WAN Type: 274 Rule: 0
    05/04/2004 10:44:21.064 TCP connection dropped 64.40.54.237, 4501, WAN 64.66.82.50, 2745, WAN Type: 274 0
    05/04/2004 10:30:50.384 TCP connection dropped 68.123.234.162, 4783, WAN 64.66.82.50, 3127, WAN Type: 312 Rule: 0
    05/04/2004 10:13:24.048 TCP connection dropped 64.171.84.56, 3014, WAN 192.168.1.98, 2745, LAN Type: 274 12
    05/04/2004 09:06:28.640 TCP connection dropped 204.162.66.215, 3080, WAN 64.66.82.50, 1433, WAN Type: 143 Rule: 0

    Does anyone know how to resolve this, or at least where to start?

    Can you show us rule 0? Or is this an implied rule just like Checkpoint?

    Is that all for dropped connections? If there are many more and they come from random external IP addresses, perhaps it is your outside interface (the one that connects to your T-1). I have not used Sonic much, I use Cisco gear and I know in my gear I can see the reliability of an interface in the form of x/x (255/255 would mean the interface has 100% reliability) Perhaps your outside interface is having some problems and a call to your providor would help.

    There are many dropped connections a day evidently, all within the same range. I checked the log reference guide on what the rules were, but it doesn't offer much. The only rule categories listed were in reference to blocked Webs/FTPs/Gophers/Newsgroups, so I don't know if there's any relation to TCP droppings. That said, category 12 is Alcohol & Tobacco. It says nothing about a rule or category 0.
