Pix 501 randomly loses internet connectivity.
About once to twice a day all of the internal PCs lose internet connectivity. Restarting the PIX resolves the issue. Also this may help in diagnosing, when internet connectivity is down I can still ping the PIX but cannot connect to it by using the PDM until after it is restarted. This PIX has been working fine with no problems for 3 years until these issues started about 1 week ago. To go ahead and answer the obvious question, no recent changes have been made to the network, the PIX or anything. Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Question 2 - The IP is static.
Question 3 - Could be wearing out, but I never lose power if that helps. I do have another PIX 501 that is still in the box. I have it as a backup just in case this one ever died. I can try the power supply from that one or replace it entirely if need be.
Question 4 - I have Anti-Virus software on all computers so I hope this is not the case. But if so, how can i tell the amount of xlates (define please - limited router terminology knowledge) there are and how many is actually too much.
Question 5 - After your suggestion and another loss of internet connectivity, I went into the Pix device manager to System Properties. Under Logging the Enable Logging box was checked. I have unchecked this to disable logging. Now I will see how long it stays working after making that change.
Thanks for the help and anymore suggestions.
