Those SOHO3 Sonicwalls had some issues with flakey power adaptors that
caused a lot of problems. It might not be a bad idea to try a replacement
power adaptor to see if that clears up the problem. If I remember right,
they used a 5VDC adaptor, but I don't remember what the current rating for
it was.
