I have been noticing my nodes getting disconnected at 4:02 AM once a week.<br>
It seems to coincide with a logrotate operation that happens at the same<br>
time. Is this supposed to work this way? (Version 0.325 running under<br>
Centos 5.1)<br>

I have dealt with similar GPS issues. Usually the LOS is caused either<br>
by antenna or interference issues. If you are not very close to a high<br>
power broadcast station and the antenna is fairly clear to the sky,<br>
double check your antenna connections/connectors, and try a different<br>
antenna.<br>

<br>
got a 2 node site with Acid on an old P4 computer. It is working great but<br>
I need to replace it before it goes down.<br>
<br>
I will replace it with a used server computer that is in great shape. a<br>
proliant with dual nic (gigabit) multiple power supply, ect.. xeon dual cpu<br>
8 gig of ram.<br>
<br>
I know that it is over kill but it was given to me and I want to connect<br>
the second nic to a Mesh that we are starting around Montreal and provide<br>
service from there..<br>
<br>
So I need to confirm some stuff..<br>
<br>
Can I use the configuration file that I have from the old computer?<br>
will the node level settings be the same, or do I need to redo the level<br>
ajustement?<br>
<br>
I know that I some files will need to be changed.. can anyone confirm wich<br>
one?<br>
<br>
Thanks for the help<br>
<br>
