Title: New install disconnects every 10-15mins Post by: sjp770 on Sunday 04 September 2011, 08:33:12 am Hey all,
I have just installed EFW 2.4.1 on a HP Microserver with a realtek pcie gig nic. When I setup the connection with a bridge modem connected to the red (realtek) it connects and then works fine for 10-15mins. It then drops the connection. I couldn't see any real reason why, so I changed the RED interface to ethernet static and connected to modem to the adsl provider (bigpond, AU). This got the connection working fine again - for 15 mins. Before rebooting the Efw I connected to the modem and it was still connected and I could browse the net fine, but not through Efw. Here are the system logs, any ideas why it is behaving so weird? ??? Title: Re: New install disconnects every 10-15mins Post by: fqureshi on Sunday 04 September 2011, 08:54:07 am Strange:-(
Check the ping response to the modem from efw console that whether it drops connectivity to the modem...we will go from there.... put the continous ping and when it stops browsing check that if u r still getting th response... Also disable outgoing firewall under efw... Title: Re: New install disconnects every 10-15mins Post by: sjp770 on Sunday 04 September 2011, 08:39:49 pm looks like it disconnects after 10-mins of downloading larger files.
When I had it connected via ethernet it dropped out after 10mins but when I connected directly to the modem it was still running. After a reboot of the firewall it came back up. I changed it back to bridged and left it on that for ages. I did some light browsing and it was up for about 3-4hrs. I started to download a 450mb file and within 5 mins it dropped out. I cant see anything in the logs, seriously thinking about flicking over to ipcop or smoothwall. Is endian better than those? Title: Re: New install disconnects every 10-15mins Post by: fqureshi on Monday 05 September 2011, 06:33:11 am Do this,
Go into firewall menu and on the left click on outgoing traffic. Check is outgoing firewall is enabled. Disable and and do the same that is try to download the 450 mb file...

Title: Re: New install disconnects every 10-15mins Post by: sjp770 on Monday 05 September 2011, 08:25:39 am also worth noting is that the link has been up all night. The modem I am using has various bridge methods / modes. Is there one that works best? (i.e. Pure Bridge VC Mux, Pure Bridge LLC, others with 1462 RFC ?? I think that was the number)
Title: Re: New install disconnects every 10-15mins Post by: fqureshi on Monday 05 September 2011, 06:18:47 pm I worked with pure bridge llc and it is the simplest...
Where is natting happening in your scenario? Or no natting? Title: Re: New install disconnects every 10-15mins Post by: fqureshi on Monday 05 September 2011, 06:22:55 pm Have u enabled intrusion detection or it is disabled?
Title: Re: New install disconnects every 10-15mins Post by: sjp770 on Monday 05 September 2011, 09:40:22 pm Intrusion detection was off. I went with "PPPoE with Pass-through" and the net was up for 3 hours before it dropped out. I did manage to download a 500mb ISO from microsoft during that period. After it was down I connected to the modem again and it still was connected and had been for 4 hrs.
Code: Sep 5 17:22:16 pppd[9262] Plugin rp-pppoe.so loaded. Title: Re: New install disconnects every 10-15mins Post by: fqureshi on Tuesday 06 September 2011, 12:38:44 pm Is there somewhere in endian idle timeout set for pppoe???
Title: Re: New install disconnects every 10-15mins Post by: sjp770 on Tuesday 06 September 2011, 01:24:03 pm Not that I can see. Besides: the connection is already up on the modem.
