Try putting a snooper (ethereal or even just tcpdump) on the outside of your netgear (if you have a spare hub handy). From those *extremely* varied hit counts needed to crash the box, I'm guessing that something else is needed to trigger a failure besides just massive connects. It may be a race condition or a specific pattern in sequence nunbers, or.... I'm guessing that you could also crash it with multiple connects *through* the firewall. That would explain your availability troubles. Marc Ruef wrote: >> I've got a lot of availability trouble with my NetGear FM114P.
