      it does not say anything:
      –----------------------------

      Enter an option: 8

      cat /sbin/dhclient | grep reload

      Binary file (standard input) matches

          Works fine for me, only lost my ip 2 times, and that was before the latest snapshot.

            Great!  Almost started to go insane, because I know this fixed my issue.  Please, someone else test?

                Atm there is a workaround in pllace that will restart the dhclient when it exits. Does it get restarted?

                    It can take up to 5 minutes to restart dhclient depending on if check_reload_status is running.

                    So if you still have trouble please check that check_reload_status is running from a shell by doing:

                    ps awux | grep check_reload_status

                    Also, cat /etc/crontab | grep check

                      I found yet another problem.  This WAN DHCP issue has been nothing but fun!

                      Try out a recent snapshot atleast an hour from now.

                          Yes the problem still exists and we have been racking our brains out – literally.

                                At this point reinstall.  My dhclient has been rock solid for over 24 hours!

                                    Make that 48 hours.  And Vescovo has been running it for 48 hours on 2 wans with 180 second renewal time.

                                    This issue is fixed for sure and verified now by 3 different people.

                                      Thats nice to hear =)

                                      But just one thing, could you reboot your pfsense and monitor it again ?

                                      My issue always come after a while when pfsense is rebooted, and the issue disappears after i push the renew button.

                                        Yes, it has been rebooted once.

                                            I also get the dhcp problem only one time after each boot.
                                            I have also been losing functionality of the DNS forwarder since upgrading to 1.0.2-0221 from 1.0.1 but that seems to have vanished since I started out with a fresh config.
