INFO - No ping reply for windows machines

Hi,

I have had a strange error state on my Astaro the last couple of days.

Thought I should share my findings.

Error: Windows machines (Vista, W7, and XP) do not get traffic through Astaro, and do not get reply to pings. At the same time linux hosts, and even VMWARE linux hosts on a W7 machine do get ping reply. They also have problems with traffic, but ta a minor degree.

Setup:
Standard Ethernett - With the above errors, sporadic drop of service.
VLAN setup - OK

Error checking:
Almost everything. The fact that VMWARE machine, on a W7, managed to ping the FW. While at that very same time the W7 machine did not was ... :confused:

Solution:
Powersupply error. Checked the voltages. They were out of spec. Changed powersupply. All OK.

Still do not know why, .... but thought it could be a nice thing to share. :)
