For some reason I've unexpectedly lost the web admin connection to the DSS Lite box. (Version 5.0.DL37*.3003, release from Jan 31/2008) It is a brand new Compaq Celeron 4200 with 1GB RAM + 2 500GB HD.

It has been running quite reliably for a month now but I was in the web admin loooking (unsuccessfully) for the SMART config area and the web access locked up. The device was in use at the time as I was xfr-ing a large ZIP file. The device kept running file-wise for another 1/2 hour and it remained visible/browsable on the network using its machine name \\DSS.

I've tried resetting the networking (to the 0.220 default). No change. I can PING other machines and they can PING it. I have sinced reset it to DHCP and, using the new IP as listed on the console, I still cannot connect. After that change I seemed to have lost the device access via network neighborhood.

Now this device was "activated" but I could not for the life of me get it to register. It would just return "ERROR" - I dont know if this is indicative of anything - I also tied to register it 2 minutes before it went sideways on me.

The console itself shows a series of "PAM_UNIX postgres open" followed by 5 or 6 "cron session opened for user root" followed by a set of "close". There is a set every minute.
