      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.

            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.

              as i said, happens one time after reboot, then press renew and the issue disappears,
              there is something magic about the renew button that doesn´t happen in the reboot process =)

                I have rebooted countless times and cannot reproduce this.  Sorry.

                  I don't think I am affected by that bug, It's much worse for me :(
                  After about 12h uptime (this time) the interface went down, when i renewed the ip adress nothing worked correctly, I could not do nslookup. Didnt try anything else. I restarted the DNS forwarder, it made no difference. I'm not sure about this but my hardware could be very incompatible with pfsense 1.0.2/fbsd 5.2.

                  Feb 27 08:43:36 kernel: arplookup  66.249.93.99 failed: could not allocate llinfo
                  Feb 27 08:43:36 kernel: arpresolve: can't allocate route for  66.249.93.99

                  Just wanted to say this, I don't have time to look further into this at the moment.

                  EDIT: SNAPSHOT-02-27-2007 solved my problems

                    This is not the same problem.  Please start a new thread.  And for the record, we do not use FreeBSD 5.2.

                      Any possibility that you try to run PPPoE along with Multiwan like in the following thread?
                      http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,3554.0.html

                      If this is true please add your comments to this thread. If not please start a new one like Scott asked you to do.

                        i don´t know what you guys are using when you are testing the dhclient, but issue still exists:

                          We lowered the lease time to 150 and used a dedicated testing box.

                          At this point we cannot reproduce the error.  Reinstall.

                              Well sorry, 4 developers where able to reproduce it prior but under no conditions does it break now.

                              I don't know what to tell you at this point.

                                          I've done a clean install with the latest official update from 08/03/2007 but my logs registeres the following rc.linkup message:

                                            Yes, those are debugging statements and looks fine.
