odd Smoothwall issue

[pickman]

Hi All,

 

Haven posted here for quite a while but wanted to see what the collective knowledge made of an issue i have

 

So the Smoothwall S9 box works fine between the hours of 8:15am and 4:10pm. outside those hours in continuously reboots so much so that I have to turn it off  at night and turn on again in the morning.

 

Obviously Smoothwall are looking at it but just wondered if anyone had encountered a similar issue.

 

Stuff that been tried so far.

• Rebuilt the OS and reinstalled the backup.
• cold restart.
• checked that nothing is happening during those hours on the server/network.
• They have patched the S9 box
• Outside those hours if you boot with just the internet in or just the network then it stays up. put both in and it reboots itself.
• absolutely fine during the day

Also anyone with an Smoothwall S9 how noisy is it? This one runs its fans quite a lot but I have been told its normal

Just sounds like they need to cut to the chase and replace the box.

Not suggesting they wouldnt have looked but theres not a silly cron job going on outside of work hours?

I doubt it is a hardware issue. If it stays up under load, this is something else.

What open ports do you have externally? Feels like something might be DoSing you.
