MN-700 needs reset often

I saw several posts regarding this issue and I would like
to add my own experience trying to be as explicit as
possible:

I have to reset my base station at least once a day, the
problem is that the DHCP server all of a sudden
completely stops working. If that happens I do not get an
IP address assigned if I 'repair' the ip address or
reboot my PC. If I assign an IP address manually I still
cannot get access to the base station (not even a ping to
192.168.2.1 works anymore). Internet connection is lost
as well (of course as there is no reachable gateway or
DNS server). A reset of the modem does not help as well.

I have this problem since I enabled the DHCP server
(previously I used a manually configured network and that
worked for weeks with the MN-700).
I updated the firmware to 02.01.02.0590 and it seems that
this made the problem less critical, previous to that
update I had to reset after few hours already.

I cannot say what happens just before the failure as
after the reset the log file starts all over again.

Any suggestion is very much appreciated!

Best regards, Alex

1. Is this happening on wired or wireless connections?

2. What kind of apps are running on the network at the time of the crash?

3. What wireless security is turned on (regardless of the answer to #1)?

4. What kind of WAN connection? If PPPoE, is idle timeout on?

It is a networking device and it just do its job and
provide me the DHCP service it is designed for and
nothing more, it shouldn't care at all about the tools
and their versions I am using with its internet
connection.

Are you saying it works with some of the available
internet tools and special versions and it doesn't work
with others? Then I have throw this device out of the
window right away and tell everybody I know that it is
not worth a single dollar.

If I use the modem directly connected to my PC the
connection works for weeks with the same PTP file sharing
tool(s) I am running, so I do not understand why the tool
should make any difference to the device. If you just
need advice for testing, just take any PTP file sharing
tool into account that you've ever heard of for testing.
Let me and this newsgroup know what tools work with the
MN-700 and what tools don't and print this on the box you
ship the device with, so that other customers don't spend
so much time with the device like I did.

Regards, Alex
