Sonicwall TZ170 LAN ports canot be accessed intermittently

thread1385-1658320

I am having the identical problem as the thread above with a sonicwall TZ170. Every day, 1 to 4 times, the LAN ports go off-line. When this happens the Sonicwall cannot be accessed or pinged. The internet is of course down. Power Reseting the Sonicwall fixes the problem for a while. I have replaced the sonicwall twice with fresh configurations each time but the problem continues. Each replacment used a new AC adapter. I have replaced the LAN cable and plugged the sonicwall into 2 different switches (none are managed). This problem has been going on for over a year. I have many other systems out there with identical Sonicwall devices and have never seen this problem. Please help

Enable reporting and look at traffic by ip. Sounds like you have virus on a pc sending out massive amounts of traffic to the internet. This has happened to me many of times
