Someone here might be able to help you if you reported on the problem a bit more systematically.
For starters, please read the SR FAQ (referenced at the end of this message) and provide the information it asks for, so we better understand the basics of your setup.
Next, read the "ping FAQs" (in the Docs somewhere, look around) to see how better to report (and intrepret for yourself) ping failures -- the short version is that you need to rell us *how* ping fails, not just *that* it fails (what actual command do you type, what if any response do you get, and what OS is on the machine you are pinging from). Also, which side are you trying to ping from? If outside, might there be upstream problems, at the ISP say?
You should check if the router itself is running before you reboot it. Can you log into it, via the console or ssh or telnet or whatever you have running on it? Can you ping its *internal* IP address successfully?
The filesystem that holds the logs can fill up, and that could cause the sort of failure you seem to be seeing. How much RAM is in the system? Assuming you can log on to the router, is the filesystem with the logs actually full (I think LRP 2.9.8 supplied a version of busybox with the "df" command) at the time of failure?

Hi,
This floppy router has been working well for 2 years but now it stops working every day until I re-boot it.
It is a 2.9.8 1.6MByte floppy distribution with a 2.2.16 kernel.
The configuration is a routed DMZ of a /27 network.
After a few hours of operation, I can't ping the external interface. When I re-boot, then it works. Sometime it comes back online during the night.
I thought it might be overloaded with useless traffic and I commented all entries in syslog.conf because I thought that might reduce the load on the 120MHz Pentium computer. The logs were filled anyway before they were rotated because of too many useless packets.
Can anybody provide any clues to what could cause this or what to do to find the reason for it? My Linux router knowledge is not very deep.
