    All day I've had customers calling with cisco 678 routers running cbos 2.4.2
    with the web interface disabled. Seems their routers have been crashing.
    
    We traced this back to the code red worm. For some reason even with web
    disabled on these routers port 80 remains open. Simply running a port scan
    and cutting off the connection is enough to crash the router. Locks up
    solid.
    
    I also found a solution, by doing a
    
    set web remote ipaddress
    
    where ipaddress is one of their internal IP's you can prevent outside
    addresses from being able to crash the router.
    
    Just a heads up guys, if you are seeing 678's crashing, give it a try, it's
    working here.
