That makes it sound like state table exhaustion. What is your state
table size, and how big is it when this happens? If you increase it,
does the problem go away? (if it's at the default 10,000 and you have
at least 128 MB RAM, you should be able to bump it to at least 30,000
with no adverse affects)
I think that the state table is 100,000 by default - this is huge.
With 256MB I can up this to 200,000 with no problems.
Is your WAN ip static or DHCP? My cable ISP (motorola surfboard modem)
gives me no end of grief with DHCP.
