Hello, I'm using FreeWRT 1.0 on a Asus WL-500g Premium and have a strange problem which seems to be related to the bittorrent protocol (or maybe the way how Azureus implements it). I'm not ABSOLUTELY sure about this but I could reproduce it several times.
After I had installed FreeWRT I did not experience any problems in the first 2 days. Even downloading multiple Gigs of data via SCP worked flawlessly. Then I started the bittorrent client Azureus. After some hours of work (Down and upstream around 10KB/s) I lost the Internet connection and I could no longer access the router via LAN or WLAN. After resetting it everything was working again. Azureus continued with it's work. Some hours later the router was again no longer available. A reset fixed it again. The next day I did not use Azureus and the Internet connection was stable, the router was accessible all the time. The next day I used Azureus again and the router died again. The next day it worked flawlessly because I did not use Azureus. I begin to see a pattern here. Yesterday I noticed another strange thing. Azureus was running again and I was online in Second Life. Then I noticed that I could no longer access websites, Azureus stopped working and I could again no longer access the router. But Second Life was still working for some minutes. Normally I can no longer move in there when the Internet connection is lost but I could even teleport to other regions, so Second Life definitely had an Internet connection. But after some minutes this one died, too. So maybe for some time existing connections are still working while new connections are blocked. Any idea what can cause this? Because the router always dies only when Azureus is running I'm pretty sure its related to the bittorrent protocol. Maybe bittorrent opens lots of connections during the time the client is running and the router keeps track of all these connections (to masquerade them) and then some internal table is full and netfilter stops working? Are there tools to prove this? Can I display the current NAT translation table? Or does FreeWRT use a special NAT module for the bittorrent protocol which can cause such problems? Unfortunately I don't have a serial console yet so I can't see any console messages after the router dies. -- Bye, K <http://www.ailis.de/~k/> [A735 47EC D87B 1F15 C1E9 53D3 AA03 6173 A723 E391] (Finger [EMAIL PROTECTED] to get public key) _______________________________________________ freewrt-users mailing list [email protected] https://www.freewrt.org/lists/listinfo/freewrt-users
