Ok, I'm getting pretty sick of loosing my connection to the server now.

It goes like this: I get it up and running, I start some torrents with utorrent in wine, installed arno-iptables-firewall, open up the ports I use, and a while afterwrds - I loose the connection. After some seconds I can log in. I stay logged in for a few minutes, and I drop again.
After the second time don't even get a respond from the server.

This has happened two days in a row, and ended up with the people at seedhost.eu to reinstall debian both times. Really annoying.

Anyone with ideas?

Looks like u have problems with firewall configuration or SeLinux.

Did u disable Selinux ?

[capman]

Selinux wasn't there to disable in the Debian Etch package.

Could very well be the firewall. Should I just have to box completely open then?

I used arno-iptables-firewall to open some ports to torrent, ssh and vnc. That's it..

[riparide]

U dont need to open it all.
But i must know what u r doing in the firewall.
Open a support ticket with Seedhost.

[capman]

Yeah, I did. They told me they would just have to reinstall and that there wasn't a problem with the server. We'll see now..

[riparide]

I was having some problems when i had Debian.
Did reinstall with CentOs 5 and everything works great.
Why dont u try it ?

[capman]

Hm, what problems?

I really like debian, man. But if it doesn't work now, I'll go for a seedbox and ask for the root pasword.

Only problem is that I can't connect to any irc servers. Even tried a few in france, where the server is located.
Anyone with input on this?

I had the same problem, I couldn't fix it but I can connect to irc servers if I enable SSL, try that maybe?

OK, I think I will order a box from these guys. Since Hosting-IE, Vectoral failed me and I can't get OVH yet, I'll order one soon. Should I get the dedicated server or the seedbox 1 package? I will also want to do FTP of the files that I will download to my Mac.
