      Hi all !

      Is this solved in 1.0.1 ?
      I upgraded to this version but with 1.0 I was reinstalling the machine often !
      I can't even have lan access to it …

      I installed one pfSense in Africa and I'm out of that country and I think it happened there.

          How can I debug this ?
          Is there some file with logs besides web interface ?

            No idea, honestly.  It should "just work".

              Anyway, I think there is some bug when ISP gives you connection without an ip.
              But ok, thanks.

                Uhm, that would not be a bug?  If the ISP does not hand out an IP then there is nothing pfSense can do.

                  But it won't give access to web interface of firewall and the other services in DMZ !
                  This is the bug.

                  This leads to a firewall reset. Nothing more.

                    sounds like hardware issues to me. Why should not receiving a dhcp lease on request cause a reset?

                      No. You didn't understand:

                      The reset in console is what I must do because the reboot won't work, access to web interface won't work, access to hosts behind DMZ won't work, …

                      The firewall becomes dead when wan connection goes up but don't receives ip from the ISP.

                        I agree with Holger.  Sounds like hardware issues.

                          If you lose the WAN IP and use natreflection to access the DMZ it won't work anymore as you lost the IP that gets reflected. You maybe even lose DNS to resolve the WAN IP first if it is a dyndns account. That makes sense. I'm still thinking something with your WAN is wrong or maybe even with your ISP.
