I'm pretty sure that senario was caused by a firmware bug sometime during the 4.x series. I did daytime upgrades while I had personnel on site until I got them upgraded beyond that firmware rev. I don't remember what the revs were anymore. I had the 493Gs and 450Gs do it to me. But it wasn't every unit in my case. It was more like any unit which didn't have a person standing by to power cycle it post-upgrade. I think they have proximity sensors. -- Scott Lambert KC5MLE Unix SysAdmin [email protected] _______________________________________________ Mikrotik mailing list [email protected] http://mail.butchevans.com/mailman/listinfo/mikrotik Visit http://blog.butchevans.com/ for tutorials related to Mikrotik RouterOS
