I have recently setup the Astaro Gateway with a Home Use License. Everything was fine for approximately 24 hours. Then the DSL modem (an Actiontec PK5000z from Qwest/Century Link) started to power cycle (power light goes red/orange, then comes back up, starts to pass traffic again and then lather rinse repeat)
At first I thought it was a bad modem, contact Century Link and got an RMA, then the RMA started doing it almost immediately.
Then I thought it might be the $20 GIG Nics (Realtek's) and replaced them with Intel Pro 10/100's. Same issue.
I backed up the Astaro configuration, then re-imaged the unit with Smoothwall (which it was running earlier) and no reboots. Attempted to setup the Smoothwall like I had the Astaro and still no reboots of the Modem. Determined to see if this was still just an Astaro issue, I re-imaged the box again with IPCOP 2.0.4 and configured as closely as possible to the Astaro. No modem reboots.
I then re-imaged the box with Astaro, and thinking it could be a configuration issue, started from scratch with a basic configuration and no advanced features turned on. Plugged it into the modem and within a few minutes the DSL Modem again was rebooting either in a loop or when it could come up again, within 5 -10 minutes, the modem would reboot.
I've searched through the Forums for anything remotely like this and have found nothing.
Can someone provide some insight to where I should be looking (either configuration or hardware) that might be causing this?
I really want to dump Smoothwall and use Astaro since the advanced features of the Astaro are much more advanced than Smoothwall and with 3 teenage boys who have friends that come over, the Anti-Virus and filtering seems so much more powerful than Smoothwall.
Thanks in Advance for any/all replies.
