trying to jumpstart my sbbs server and i have it running but getting recurring errors on webserver status screen i cant figure out. pasted screen dump below.
the error just cycles forever, incrementing the ports by 1 each time until i stop service. looks like its searching for a lost cab file. any tips are appreciated. thanks

It's an error but it's not an *error*, so to speak. Something is requesting a document that is absent from your webserver, and your webserver is responding accordingly.

This is really just a part of having a server open to the internets. I ignore this stuff unless it causes me any actual problem (a crash, slowing down my server, or somehow using a whole lot of bandwidth).

I would say to block the source of these requests, but then:

11/12 11:36:38a 1616 HTTP connection accepted from: 127.0.0.1 port 64448

What's up with that source address - is your BBS webserver behind a reverse proxy or something? If not, the call is coming from *inside the house!*

See that "From:" IP address? That's your localhost address, which means the requests are coming *from* your computer. Either find and stop whatever software is on your computer and sending those requests or change the Synchronet web server to no listen on "all" network interfaces (use a specific IP address to indicate the network interface, not blank/0).

Silly me. I should have figured this out myself. It was one of the Bing apps to IE. Not sure what it
was trying to do but when I uninstalled the Bing app the errors stopped. I never use any Bing apps
so wasn’t sure if it was an internal sbbs routine or something. Thanks all. --- Synchronet 3.17a-Win32 NewsLink 1.110
