Hi,

In earlier days I have happily used ClarConnect 3.x to 5.x series. The need for a useful file and mailserver arose here (home situation) so I decided to give ClearOs a try because of my experiences with CC in the past.

My situation is quite simple, just a homenetwork behind a cisco/linksys E1000 router. The cisco is dhcp server/firewall en NAT translator. Inside the homenetwork several devices are often logging on for network- and internet access.

So far so good. Now I have this 4GB, AMD athlon XP 64 machine. I installed CC on it (did not go well first time, had to increase shared memory for videocard (the nas which resides on it before did not need that, was just commandline). But the second time it installed OK. I gave it a static address outside the dhcp range.

On to the webinterface I could set several things.
But all of a sudden the entire network looses internet access. Looks just like the entire router is sucked up by clearOS. phones, pc's, everything wireless and wired is struck.

I need to investigate further (right now each time the internet falls off, half the house cries havoc ;-) ). At first I thought the evil one here was dnsmasq, but I am not definately sure. Also it seems like it happens each time I enter the marketplace.

Does anyone know what could cause this?

Do I really need this dnsmasq thing for just an nfs fileserver and a mailserver? I noticed that wehen I stop nfs, the web interface has problems with account- and serverside data from clearos?

Cheers, Eric

P.S. I did not know where to put this, so I placed it here. Feel free to move it to a more appropriate forum if desired.
