Greetings!

I am experiencing a strangely intermittent access issue to an external web server running on port 8080 through my Untangle 7.01 open source package machine (a couple of different Untangles on different networks actually). It seems that soon after the initial access takes place to this server (an IP camera streaming video) that the image freezes and no further contact to the camera can be made. Until I reboot the Untangle box, I can no longer access the camera from any machine inside my LAN.

I've scoured the Untangle box and can't find any rules that would allow or disallow. The intermittent nature of the access would lead me to think that the Attack Blocker is somehow to blame. However, turning it off doesn't fix the problem. In fact, I can shut every rack down (all except the reports rack) and the issue still persists.

How can I track this issue down? I even reinstalled a fresh Untangle box tonight. Access to the camera worked fine until some point during the installation of the open source package, at which time my access to the camera stopped. This is a fresh install, nothing yet configured with the rack, and yet I no longer can get access to the camera. I've looked at every rule on every rack, and scoured all the iptables settings to no avail. Netstat doesn't reveal anything running on port 8080 that would potentially interfere.

I know the camera is up and running. I can hit it at will through either a Verizon or Sprint wireless card. Anyone got a clue as to what to check next?

Thanks!
