Hey Lee -- my router has locked solid twice in the last week. I suspect it's failing hardware (poor ol' 2004-era Pentium 4...). Is there a way to get more than the last 50 log entries in case something is more helpful? The last thing on the monitor before I reset it was along the lines of: "cputemp was absurd, ignoring (-127°)"  Related question: I have a spare Core 2 Duo I've been meaning to swap in. My Smallwall is installed to a USB drive. If I just swap the drive and the NIC into the other box, should it "just work"? |

On the "Diagnostics -> Logs" page, click on the settings tab. I would not make the entries more than 200 unless you have to. It gets a bit unwieldy.  As to the swap, yes and no. Yes you can swap the stick and it will boot. But unless the nics are the same, it will still be looking for the old nics. The swapped nic may or may not work depending on if the onboard nic used the same driver and the order it was in. That said, you can assign the new nics from the console trivially and it will change nothing else in the config. (That said, always back up your config!) |

Not a big deal if I have to recreate the config... but yes, I back it up semi-regularly. |

If you need to "restore" and old version to the new system, just edit the file (with wordpad on a PC) te reflect your new nics. For example, change sis0 to em0 if you are going from a sis fast 100 to an Intel gigabit...
