At day are playing about 110 people, and when someone trying connect whey see message: Server is full, connection is retrying. If player whait's 2-3 mins he will be connect. How i can fix this bug? What i should do for it?

What OS are you running? Did you run some kind of packet sniffer? (tcpdump on Linux).

At the time the server is full, run tcpdump -n and look for the same IP spamming a lot of packets of the same size.
If you think you found him, confirm this by running tcpdump -n | grep "IP.HERE"
If you confirmed it's that IP addresses flooding the server with the same packet size, block him by running iptables -A INPUT -s IP_HERE -j DROP
