I think that the NAPT table of SS5660 is up to 256 items. But I'm not sure. 
Probably, it's not _only_ that the table is too small. SS5660 not deletes the 
items as fast as we could need, and so the table is saturated.

Perhaps you have more lucky than me. I contacted to Efficient support (Siemens 
now) and the all that I get is the possibility of having phone support. Maybe 
you want to call them. I'm non user english.....

Subject: Possible bug in SpeedStream 5660


I have SpeedStream 5660. When I run mldonkey, the net connection is lost. I
saw this problem in the net and I suspect that it could be a possible bug in
NAPT table (when NAPT table is clear, I have net connection another
time) but I don't know.

Can you investigate and submit a pacth (a new firmware) if it's the case.

Thank you very much
