Yes, I understand all this, and appreciate I could simply have changed the persistent net rules file instead - it's six and two threes. What I am driving at is that this issue downed one box, and is currently undocumented. It is also confusing, because I have another box with the same configuration, and that did not go down with the upgrade.
You and Michael have given me the explanation, and I have recitifed the issue personally, but I was hoping to be able to document it, if it is confirmed as an issue. I also should ask the question: is there anything I could have done to prevent the issue from happening in the first place?
