Hello - I recently decided to switch from an IPtables firewall to m0n0wall. I downloaded the current version - pb26r614 and installed it on a Compaq 1850R with 256 meg of RAM and 2 network cards in addition to the built in interface. (3 interfaces total) I tested the new installation for about a week without it being connected to the Internet. All testing worked out fine, and m0n0wall ran like a charm. It stayed up the whole week, with no problems. So, yesterday, I decided to put it into production. Within about 3 hours, it rebooted itself (about 12:30 pm yesterday). Then, this morning at about 8:30, it rebooted itself again. Does anyone know what might be causing this? It stayed up just fine in the testing phase, which was, of course, a very light load. However, even now, in production the load is pretty light. I should add that this is a relatively new machine for me. However, before I installed m0nowall, it had stayed up just fine for weeks running linux, but not acting as a firewall. Do I have some kind of NIC problem? If I start to replace my ethernet cards, is there any way to reload the old ruleset, or do I have to manually enter them again? Thanks, Earl __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
