You've got a buggy router
Authored by: n9yty on Jun 17, '04 12:37:22AM

Not a buggy router...

This isn't necessarily a ROUTER issue, so much as a NAT issue. The system decides which NAT'd connections to track, and if they aren't used after a period of time, they drop out. This even happenened in some of the earliest Linux setups I put together using ipmasq to provide NAT services... You could specify the timeout differently for various services if you wish, but most "cheap" routers/etc don't offer you that.
