Re: DI-624 c - NEW FIRMWARE 2.75b2

Let us know how it goes. I've been up 24 hours with the new firmware without a reboot so far (UPnP enabled). I will try disabling UPnP to see if that causes a reboot.
It is getting worse with it enabled, more frequent boots.

Not only that, I now find some 'real' problems.

Although there are 3 computers on the network, only 2 are usually on. Mine and my wifes. I usually turn mine on first as I'm up earlier. Last night she turned hers on while mine was off andleft hers on and I couldn't get connected this morning. Why? Because since I use FTP and NETMEETING occasionally, I've set my network connection to always be 192.168.0.100. Hers was DHCP, whatever it gets. We hit a conflict as hers was on overnight. Not a problem, I was able to set hers to be 192.168.0.101 and I can get reconnected. However, the ROUTER doesn't see me at all? I noticed this prior to today with the new flash firmware, as it showed my name as UNKNOWN but I did see the MAC address clone and set it to me, but didn't give it much though. On the HOME, DHCP page only her system shows now?

Note the different IP addresses for LARAINEP4, the one 192.168.0.100 is IRVS, not LARAINEP4. This is the STATUS, LOG entries, complete...

How could I not show (I'm on IRVS right now typing this)? LARAINEP4 is at 192.168.0.101 right now and I'm 192.168.0.100. I tired clearing the log and it clears, but NO NEW entries appear? It is like it isn't working?

Proof I'm connected however.

How can this be?

From the Connection Monitor

WAN IP: 70.121.179.80 DNS: 65.32.5.74, 65.32.5.75 Network: {2}
Model: DI-624 Firmware: 2.75, Thu, 29 Jun 2006 Address: 192.168.0.1

Suggestions? I do feel this firmware IS FASTER, but it is annoying. With the older version I had the three machines set up to different IP addresses by MAC address. This version doesn't seem to see my computer's MAC address as IRVS but it was showing as UNKNOWN. Today, even that doesn't show, only LARAINEP4 is available? Even then, LARAINEP4 is listed as my IP address even though it has a different one?

I released and renewed the DHCP lease and that changed in the log. On the HOME, DHCP tag I did APPLY and it changed the data,

unknown 192.168.0.100 00-12-3f-6b-9d-f2 Jul/15/2006 07:24:17
---------------

However, I still do NOT show? I can PING and it works and resolves addresses, so does TRACERT? Why don't I show in the list to assign IP addresses?

Distressing to say the least? I've enabled all the LOG settings, maybe this will show something?

Anyone else see something similar?

This seems to be getting worse now. I decided after seeing many DROPPED PACKETS in the log after enabling all options to do a RESET to factory default settings via the TOOLS, SYSTEM MENU.

Ah hah! Both computer MAC Addresses now show with UNKNOWN as the name. Cloned LARAINEP4 and replaced UNKNOWN with it and pressed APPLY. That took, but IRVS (my machine) disappeared from the DHCP list...

Also, in the LOG see these...

and many more too...

I can't find any reason for this? Nothing on ADVANCED, FILTERS, FIREWALL, or VIRTUAL SERVER seems to be the cause of this blocked. My system firewall doesn't report anything wrong either? Where are these set?

I don't believe you show up in the list since it seems to be generated via DHCP requests. Unless the DI-624 is doing some kind of Reverse ARP (RARP), it won't be able to figure out a name for your statically assigned box.

Also you said it's able to ping, nslookups, and traceroute's, so you're fine.

This is someone on the outside trying to access the TCP and UDP ports on your router. This is very common with bots & script kiddies out on the Internet. Your router is doing the right thing and blocking them.

You should just turn off most of the logging since it will just fill up with this stuff.

1. Have you had these constant reboots with other firmwares before this one?

2. With your wireless clients, do you see any other access points using channel 6 in the area?

Not the last one, the B11 version. It was usually solid for days on end.

Not using wireless, only hardwired at this time. It didn't seem to matter if wireless was on or off.

It seems that given enough time it comes up and is recognized. I've given up on this version and went back to the B11 versions. It seems it too has 'unknown' as the name of the machine.

For what it is worth, like I said, I went back to the older Beta, and here is the Connection Monitor data since I went back.

Almost 1 day running without a reboot. With the newest Beta I never got more than a few hours, and usually less than 1 before it rebooted.

If you want your computer to always be 192.168.0.100, leave the PCs DHCP *ON* and tell the router to always assign 192.168.0.100 to your computer's mac address.

Basically, the computer requests a new IP address via DHCP, and the router always doles out the same (reserved) IP address.

I always make sure that the fixed address I choose is outside the range that is normally allocated via DHCP but I'm not sure that's really necessary.

For example, my DHCP pool is 192.168.0.100 through 192.168.0.255. I have 3 machines on my network that are assigned fixed IP addresses by the router: 192.168.0.8, 192.168.0.16, and 192.168.0.32. Every machine is still set up with a dynamically assigned IP address in its network settings.

Yes, that is what I had been doing, using the MAC address to assign IP address always to the same one. However, with the latest firmware that is problematic. Worked fine under 2.71b11 but not the lastest. Matter of fact, when I set one up (all show as unknown in 2.75B) the other disappeared for a period of time. Later when I rebooted my setting was gone as well. Under 2.71 is stays and works.
