Cisco Router Connection Drop Out

I'm running a Cisco UBR924 Cable Modem / Router in Bridged mode (functions like most standard cable modems would) which runs to a Microsoft Router running to a HP Procurve 2524 switch. I've used Secondlife on other setups with the microsoft router and HP 24 port switch, and I've never had an issue.

Once I got the Cisco router I didn't really have any issues with SL until the last update. Now at random times, only while SL is up, sometimes my connection will all together drop. I'll have to log into the router via hyperterminal, issue a reload command, at which point it states my config has been changed, do you want to save. I indicate no and go on with the reload and about a minute later its fine.

I've left my system on for days without SL running and I have no similar problem. The problem only appears to affect me when SL runs. Moreover, the last update seems to have triggered the problem. I'm pretty tech savvy and this one has really thrown me a curve.

Any takers?

This one relates to UDP - mostly why you are not being affected with other apps is that mostly everything runs on TCP; Cisco's recent releases have somewhat borked their UDP support (something I'd wish they would get their act together about - this is long standing.);

You can try flashing in new firmware, and seeing if that fixes the problem (Havnt touched a Cisco router for a while now - moved all to other brands a while ago.).

they stopped making firmware on this guy at 12.2 and its extremely hard to find for this router. ill keep searching though.

I'm starting to think its the number of simultaneous ip NAT translations. I started digging around and it seems with other services people have experienced similar effects with this router.

I issued the following commands:

config t
ip nat translation max-entries 175
exit
wr
copy running-config startup-config

I'm going to see if that helps any I'll keep updates here.
