Server gives random "connection reset" errors on remote players but not on local players (same wifi)
Hi! I am hosting a minecraft server and have an issue, sometimes my server will randomly say "connection reset" and kick everyone except for me (I am using the local IP to connect, If i was using the public one it would kick me too), This is getting pretty annoying and I ahve no idea what causes it (I am using a ubuntu server machine, specs in attached image), this started happening after I connected an ethernet cable so that leads me to believe the server is switching internet interfaces for some reason. Any help is greatly appreciated

do logs include chat? If so I'd prefer not sharing as it is a closed friends server and it has some conversations i wouldn't want to make public
Uhh. Your RAM is like... really almost capped out.
I know, is that the issue tho?
I was running it with no issues up until i switched to ethernet
and it's only that high if i run the server (I allocated 5GB)
Mm.
I mean ethernet should be more stable, not less stable.
Try an mtr to both your PC and the outside world, see if there's packet loss.
mtr?
Basically Linux tracert.
sudo apt install mtrOh alr
installed
what do i do now?
Run the mtr and see if there's packet loss. Google it.
oh alright
what IP should i do?
a friend? (One of the ones who's crashing)
Your system, some random outside system, and Google.
I don't get it, could you explain how i can try it on 192.168.1.50?
Just check a youtube guide.
Command is very simple.
oh alright
Did I do it right or?
Mhmm.
is there anything wrong with it?
Test more connections, see if you get packet loss to your friend.
"redacted" the non-local IPs
I am using fastweb
Now try it with wifi.
oh wait i just realized
i was port-forwarding the wifi instead of the ethernet
i am very dumb, sorry for bothering you
No issue.
