Title: Wired connections failing
Post by: Lifespan on May 10, 2010, 10:20:13 PM

Hello,

I am trying to stream video from one machine to the other, both wid to my router, but I can't seem to maintain the connection for longer than 30 minutes.  I managed to catch the failure in the log:

Dropped packet from 192.168.0.195 to 255.255.255.255 (IP protocol 17) as unable to create new session

195 is the client machine and there are no logs from 199 (the server). How do I eliminate this issue?  I know it is not the machines themselves because this not occur with an older router I have.

Thanks!

Just a thought...but maybe the router is overheating about that time.....but I run my router in vertical orientation rather than horizontal....and I have its power wart plugged into my battery backup unit....

I am no longer getting this error, but my LAN is still toast.  My WHS appears to be losing connection constantly no matter how much time I have spent tweaking my settings.  However, if I plug in my old router I have no problems whatsoever... Any ideas at all?

sounds like new router is defective in some manner, as you state that the old router runs fine & dandy....
