Just wondering, since everyone here is so helpful with information, and myself, being a newbie, am looking forward to the day when I can grin, and point out simple things. Anyway, I have a question I need to pass by the group. I have been having this issue, specifically on one day of the week, where the Firewall literally hangs. I know. First thing is check what time and what runs at that time. I did that. Exact time every Monday morning at 4am. I know. Check scheduled batch files. I did, there is a daily, run at that time. If it were weekly, I would have my answer, but since it's daily and the issue of the hanging Firewall happens weekly, I scratched my head and grunted. Verifying further other things are occuring as well. While not solely repsonsible, I believe that the combination of these elements is causing this issue. I notice that there is a prevalent amount of SNMP drops from a Network Monitoring server source to the destionation of a router that traffics through to the internet. I just noticed today that these SNMP UDP broadcasts happen ONLY on the Monday when the Firewall has it's issue. Any other day, it is not run. This seems conclusive to me, but I have to wonder why UDP traffic, at 8432 drops in a span of 24 hours, would cause this, when at times, I have seen worse. I am sure it is not helping, but for that to be the sole cause seems odd to me. Thanks all.
