      I just reflashed my RC1a embedded CF card of my WRAP to Releng1 Snapshot from 12-07-2006. I did a backup of my RC1a config (full backup) and when I restored the config file on the Releng! flashed wrap it crapped out. Webconfig wasn't accessible only serial console worked. Aren't config.xml files compatible trough each version?

      Thanks

        Yes they are compatible.  What does the serial console say when it's booting.

        Crapped out tells us nothing, sorry.

          It boots ok and serial console is fully funtional, however webconfigurator isn't reachable and the firewall can't be "pinged", neither Lan nor Wifi interface. I can send the config.xml if it can help diagnose the problem.

          I restored the config file, the firewall rebooted, I did a connection repair on my windows client machine to get the new dhcp lease which I didn't get. Then I manually set an ip in the lan range and that didn't work neither. Tried rebooting the firewall but also negative. Finnaly I decided to do a restore factory default.

          Sorry for not explaining with detail the problem in first post.

          Thanks

            Send me your config.xml to holger dot bauer at citec-ag dot de. I'll have a look at it and try to restore it at one of my wraps this evening to see if it crashes there too or check what's wrong with it. Please send the file as attachment, not as copy/paste.

              Left the config.xml file at work. Will send it to you on Monday. BTW I managed to restore it on a fresh RC1a install but it keeps failing on the Releng1 CF image install.

              Also experienced some problems with the Releng1 Image. It hanged after trying some OpenVPN connection, it only answered ping during boot up but when it finished to boot only the serial console was working and I couldn't reach any of the interfaces but they gave DHCP leases.

              Maybe its a problem with the 12-07-2006 REleng1 snapshot Image.

              Will try to repeat the OpenVPN configuration on Monday and see if it fails with the RC1a image.

              Thanks
