XP is routing via the Soekris to the internet using NAT. When I reboot XP I cant connect to either monowall on soekris via http, ping the box or route outside. > >> The soekris box is active and is working via serial cable.

The linux box is attached via serial or ethernet? > I have three ethernet ports in use. one for adsl modem, one for XP and one for linux box. Both XP and linux box routes via the soekris. Linux box is headless. Cable from modem is straight cat-5. eth1 is cross-over cat5 to XP box, eth2 is cross-over cat5 to linux box. all connections 100 meg full duplex.Serial connection from linux box to soekris with rs232 null modem cable. After I cold boot XP I cant connect to the soekris directly, or via linux serial connection indirectly routed via the soekris. Monitor/keyb is only on XP - so I need to hard reset the soekris box. Once i do this everything works again. If i substitute my old network pc with bunch of nics in i dont have the issue. >> Is this hardware or software error?
