Hi Alan, Thanks for taking the time to respond. I've already fixed the problem. It only took a bit of lateral thinking. The ADSL modem wasn't exchanging any information on port 1813. For the life of me I can't understand how it could re-boot and only loose a bit of it's setup. It would have been much better if it had lost everything. I wasted the best part of a week testing syslogd, reinstalling FreeRadius, MySQL and setting up a new test server. Anyway, once again thanks. I really appreciate the time and effort you take to give support to end users.
