I've seen this happen on commercial gear when a host decides to run wild (either an overzealous P2P user or a worm). It's easy to point at the router and say "oh that must be it" but in fact it's a network host that's stealing TCP connections faster than the router can release them. I'm glad that a different software rev has fixed it for you. You might also want to check your environment and make sure you don't have a host running cowboy on your network. Brian
