Kevin, the dupe scenario is exactly as described.
My P75 (7267002) running 5.1Ap8 is configured to use NAT.
The P75 runs 24 hours 7 days, tho the attached computers (2)
see only intermittent duty, both shut off overnight & both shut off
most weekdays. Typical internet usage here, evenings and weekends
and that's when the PCs are turned on. The P75 runs 24/7 because
I use one of the POTS ports as a 2nd line.
And tonight it happened that after dinner I could not surf (and my son's
machine was still shut off) I also could not get my mail. I opened a
SmarTerm session & Telnetted to the P75 and forced a reset. Surfing fine
now. Me experiencing the problem is rare, usually it's my son who has the
problem.
The longest we've ever kept a session open is on a Saturday or sunday and
then perhaps 12-14 hours.
I was tempted to flash up to 6.0.x but in reading the app notes I don't
see anything in the major revision 6.0.0 that I need or that addresses any
problem I'm having.
Per the FAQ I did set Lan=Single IP Addr under Ethernet/Nat but I
cannot see where that's improved things.
