Smoothwall issues

[Badaz52]

We recently updated our smoothwall box to update 79. We applied updates 76-79 on Tuesday this week and since then we are getting intermittent connectivity on port 1. We can sometimes ping the interface or sometimes it says destination unreachable. Of course this is causing problems for teaching and learning as users are getting a lot of timed out web pages and page cannot be displayed messages.

 

Has anyone had anything like this with smoothwall before?

I also updated my box from 76-79 on Tuesday. We must be psychically linked!

 

But, more seriously, I haven't had any problems since the update

Have you rebooted it since the update?

We too have had time out issues for the Staff and students, I feel it could be to do with our old UTM1000 box not able to cope with the increased demand of our school, unfortunately looks as though we might be going back to our LA for broadband and filtering (Bloxx) as I have been downgraded due to JRE which I have accepted on the proviso the school has to buy back all the SLA's we had with the LA before I was upgraded.

 

Currently doing a full audit of our systems for meeting with the LA's IT people next week.

 

Ho Hum!
