Florin,

Are you talking about running the update from the CD on an existing MNF box?
I just backed the rules up from my MNF box and restored them to a running
MNF2 box.  Once you do, the problem is that once it's applied, it hoses the
network cards.  After that, everything is rather bizzarre.

This is what shows up under the network cards after the restore.
 Zone IP Address Subnet Mask On Boot Protocol
-*-        Alias Vlan Admin

If I try to "Detect NIC's" I get:
eth0  b44  00:...  192.168.x.x 255.255.255.0 static yes
eth1  via-rhine  00:...  10.x.x.x 255.255.255.0 static yes
eth2  via-rhine  00:...  216.x.x.x 255.255.255.192 static yes
eth3  via-rhine  00:...
eth4  via-rhine  00:...

It detects the cards but APPLY just takes me back to:
Zone IP Address Subnet Mask On Boot Protocol
-*-        Alias Vlan Admin

as the only listed "network card".

I can manually strip apart the configuration file and create one that is
compatable with MNF2, I was just under the impression that I could restore
that backed up MNF configuration file to my MNF2 box.

Sorry if it sounded like I was complaining, I wasn't.  I know you're the
only one driving the project to believe me, I'm thankful for all we get from
you!  :)

Thanks,

Jim

Hi Jim,

The truth is the update should "almost" work ... but some fields have
been slightly modified in the /var/lib/naat-configuration (versus
MNF2) so some manual adjustement may be required. I didn't have time
to fully test this for the moment. I had some feedback about this
saying that the template were not applied during this process and
services not restarted. So, after update, restart the service and use
the web interface to change something ... in this way the template
will be applied and the service restarted ... I will test this in
order to have a better look but you guy can also test this in order to
speed things up ... I can't be everywhere ... for the moment ... but
I'm working on it ;o)

have a nice day,
