      I've seen this behaviour when I have heavy torrent traffic on the wan. everything seems like out of states symptoms but clearly i have 50000 before I hit the roof. I can not surf, open new connections (slowly that is) but existing connections are fine. AFter I stop torrent traffic, it will recover itself and everything is back to normal.

      I don't know how to explain it as well.

        Actually, I didn't have any significant traffic at the time it stopped.

        The kids were outdoors and their PCs off and my wife couldn't access anything outside after booting up her PC. That's when she called me…

          What kernels are you running? Can you test with the SMP kernel if you are using the uniprocessor version currently?

            How can I install the smp kernel on my box now? Can I copy something over?

                Eeks, if I re-install, it will overwrite everything I have then right? I've installed a few unofficial packages and would prefer not to re-install everything again. To isolate this bug, i want to keep everything the same, then just upgrade the kernel components and see if it works. I can mount the microdrive from another installation if that is what is required.

                Thanks.

                  Backup the configuration with Diagnostics -> Backup / Restore.  You will not loose anything.

                    And you are sure none of your "unofficial packages" is causing issues?

                      Oh I totally missed that part.  Sorry, you are on your own on this one.

                        Oh, I'm sure quite SURE the unofficial package isn't the cause. It's just a little client and nothing like squid or proxies or anything that interferes with traffic.

                          I think MC doesn't do any harm, does it?

                          BTW, before I made a fresh install of 1.2final I did a backup of my config. Restoring that now gives a blank webGUI on HTTP what was httpS previously. The only thing that helps is a 'factory defaults' from local console. I can repeat this.
                          Anybody willing to look into that config.xml for me?
