Hello. A 6.1p13/i386 firewall of mine, although a bit rusty wrt hardware, is working wonderfully and is allowing us to fully exploit our Internet connections (1Mb/s). Today it suddenly dropped to a bare few b/s. I checked the ISP line by attaching another machine in place of this and it could do full 1Mb/s, so this box was the problem. After a simple reboot it started working as good as always. Now the question is: in case this happens again, how do I find out what's wrong? CPU usage was under 2% and so was swap usage... what else could I check? What tools should I use? bye & Thanks av.
