Sonicwall hangs - familiar?

Folks,

Anyone familiar with a sonicwall 200 running PPoE?

Periodically (once a month), a sonic wall I'm managing stops forwarding/processing
traffic. Most recent occurrence was last evening.

Among the last packets logged and dropped were:

id=firewall sn=00401013D589 time="2003-04-18 21:54:15" fw=64.53.71.145 pri=7 c=512 m=63 msg="Received fragmented packet or fragmentation needed" n=795673 src=208.180.23.87 dst=64.53.71.145

id=firewall sn=00401013D589 time="2003-04-18 21:54:39" fw=64.53.71.145 pri=5 c=256 m=38 msg="ICMP packet dropped" n=838 src=128.114.0.185 dst=64.53.71.145 rule=0

I didn't find anything at sonicwall's site about issues handling fragmented packets, and the log shows some traffic was processed after these msgs were received. (You can't exercise all that much control over what you log with this appliance).

Any insight would be appreciated.
