Just under 24 hours I had 2 bridges fall off the net, and some mc4800,
uc4800 falling off.   Can this have something to do with the new worm that
is spreading ?

By looking in some logs, can I see 16 Console hits from the same IP, next
one ,, etc. This started yesterday, and today its fill up the log with
console attempts. But the importan thing I'm searching an answer for is,
can this be the reason for why some box'es just drops off the net?  The
only thing that help is a power 'off - on' restart.

Does anyone know whats happning here?

Yes. We firewall all of our bridges to avoid this problem, so that only
internal traffic can manage them. 
Code red or the new nimda worm can do this.
It's documented somewhere on cisco's site.

It's also (I think) a good idea to stick all your bridges on a subnet that
you're not using to deliver to access to your clients/constituants. I
forget if the 340/350 also permit 'access list' style telnet proctection,
but if they do, you may want to experiment maintaining such a list ;)
