Internet connectivity loss caused asterisk crash?

I have two Allstar nodes running (each on separate boxes) at a remote site with internet connectivity. All was working great then a storm passed and the little linksys switch hung in a wierd state. No traffic in/out to the internet however the two pc's were still talking and linked. The repeaters were still functioning, but obviously no linking to the outside world. Then about two weeks later, both pc's quit repeating and had no response to any dtmf commands. I figured I lost the UPS (only common item other than the switch). Finally made a trip to the site and found the UPS was ok as were both pc's. The URI's were NOT flashing, indicating asterisk had crashed. I didn't take a monitor with me, only a laptop so I didn't see what was on the screen before I rebooted them. After a reboot (and replacing the fried ethernet switch) everything came back up. So, my question is, would loss of internet for an extended time cause CentOS (or Asterisk) to crash? Were can I probe around in the logs (if any) to try and find out what happened? Thanks in advance.... Neil

What is the difference in setup between a hub and a normal node? How do I create such a beast? I have a Compaq DL360 (G3, so it's not a youngster, but still a true server) which is just begging to be "hubbed". Thanks David Osborn GD4HOZ David, There is no real difference. Just config the rxchannel to zap/pseudo so it does not try to use sound hardware. 73, Steve N4IRS
