The best way I think is to request newer probe.

Well, it can *send*. It might not be able to *hear* the answer to the DNS requests, so the fact that the SOS messages are seen at Atlas Central doesn't really say anything about receiving of packets after the initial DHCP packet... So, it could just be borderline broken... if cold enough, it works, if the room is warming up, it no longer receives packets...

The odd thing is that the first time I powered it on (after it had been powered off for a long time), it received the lease correctly. When that expired and it needed to renew, the problems started gain (and exactly the same DHCP problem I had that caused me to disconnect it some years back). Oddly, even after receiving an IP the first time, it was able to do DNS requests (they showed up in the SOS log on the Atlas site), but it wasn't able to report via ssh on 443 (which works fine from other hosts on the same network). Argh, this is so frustrating :( Is it possible to open a V1 probe and connect a serial console without damaging it? Cheers, MJ -- Michael-John Turner * m...@mjturner.net * http://mjturner.net/

One possible explanation is that the probe doesn't actually receive any packets (i.e. the receive circuitry at the ethernet level is broken). The only way to know for sure is to open up the probe and attach a serial console. But I'm not aware of any software failure mode that leads to this behavior. Philip
