      Things always tend to run fine until they break  ;)
      Still looks like a hardwareproblem to me. Maybe reset the switch.

        Tried to restart the router(pfsense), the switch and the modem.

          This is a hardwarefailure. You have to start changing equipement to find out what's wrong I guess.

            Seems like it only happends when there is trafic.

            Mar 16 08:29:23 	kernel: dc0: link state changed to DOWN
            Mar 16 01:56:46 	kernel: dc0: link state changed to DOWN
            

            The time that i was sleeping it didnt fail.

            Dunno if this helps.

             LAN interface (dc0)
            Status 	up
            IP address 	192.168.0.1  
            Subnet mask 	255.255.255.0
            Media 	10baseT/UTP
            In/out packets 	2258538/2942016 (633.59 MB/2.52 GB)
            In/out errors 	0/0
            Collisions 	319902
            

            Do i get all those collisions because i use a hub, and not a switch?

              I think you have some autonegotiation issues. You could try to hardcode the interface speed by using hidden config.xml magic. See http://doc.m0n0.ch/handbook-single/#FAQ.hiddenopts for how to set mediaoptions. It's the same for pfSense.

                    You'll always get that with a hub, that's why it's been pretty much impossible to buy one for the last 5+ years ;)

                        If you've always had high collisions then you had a very badly broken switch.  Your other problems (as you've been told, repeatedly) strongly point to broken hardware.

                          No i have not always had high collisions, only when using the hub.
