        Hmmm, with pfsense 1.2.3 it works like a charm. Connect and disconnect. No problems.
        But nevertheless i think, even if my ISP will do strange things, shouldn't pfsense handle this in a way like a nice piece of software?

        Other strange thing with the update of december 06 is, that on reconnect i have to wait something about one minute to get a connection which works. Say i see the interface up, but a ping results in this:

        Same thing with all connections like browser and so. I have to wait about a minute to get a reliable connection. Thios is a completely new behaviour. With releases before dec 06 it was not like this.

            I've a problem that maybe is related or the same.

            In 1.2.3 when I connect to my ISP with PPPoE I've realized that in Status>Interface the "ISP DNS Servers" doesn't appears right away, only after 1 minute of receiving an IP address, the "ISP DNS Servers" are populated. Any machine behind pfsense start resolving domains after this 1 minute delay. Anyway, past this 1 minute time all PC behind the firewall works ok.

            In 2.0 ALPHA (build from dec 12), it happens the same way but the "ISP DNS Servers" never are populated, the firewall doesn't have a DNS server in WAN, and with Diagnostics>DNS Lookup any domain entered result in an error, not resolving.

            In System log I've noticed that MPD is killed immediately after establishing the PPPoE connection, and before receiving the DNS server from my ISP.

            So in conclusion, 2.0 ALPHA NEVER works with PPPoE with my ISP, 1.2.3 works like a charm in the same ISP.

            Is there a way to setup a custom DNS server for WAN with PPPoE?

              You can enter up to 4 DNS servers in System: General Setup.
              (e.g. 8.8.4.4 for the new Google DNS!)

                Please paste all mpd logs from your system logs.

                      I am seeing similar problems with a number of the recent snapshots.

                      I am using a wireless provider and many of the times when my connection goes down and fails to come back up seem to coincide with bad weather.

                      Below is an extract from my logs… The WAN went down at around 00:00 (according to my graphs) and came back when I hit the 'connect' button this morning at about 7:30.

                          I've seen this, but with pfSense 1.2.x it works great. Auto-connect occurs whenever pfSense disconnects.
                          When i connect manually, mpd tries several times to get a connect. Thats good. When a request from network comes to connect, nothing happens. No entry in system.log, only notice is "Not available" inside browser or other programs which try to connect.

                          Auto-connect doesn't occur with 2.0. Whenever I want to connect i have to do it manually. Even trying with a ping in background pfSense disconnects from time to time and refuses to connect again.
                          I made a new install without packages to not disturb the system with eventually broken packages. Same thing.

                          Whenever the connection refuses to send/recieve data even when manual connect was successful, i sometimes have luck when starting the initial wizard, going thru it without changing anything. After saving the settings the connection works. But not everytime. Sometimes a reboot helps to get it pasing data from out/in to in/out. Very strange.
                          Sometimes I have to make a new "update" with the same version to get it running. Whenever this happens, the pause between connection and passing data is gone, say, when I connect i can surf directly without pause.

                            Post the 1.2 mpd log as you did for 2.0 to verify this.

                                It is something regarding your ISP that does not de-authenticate you correctly and something has changed in mpd to make it more strict on later versions.
                                It needs more investigation and more time though i have not much as of now.

                                Though you can take a packet trace and attach it here so i can follow later on.

                                  ok, will do. Should I do it with the 2.0 or the 1.2.3? I think it should be tcpdump, but how should I do this? Looked around the man-page, but i don't understand it much.

                                  Should it be like this?

                                  tcpdump -i bge0 -n ether proto 0x8863 '||' ether proto 0x8864

                                  assuming that bge0 is my wan-interface.

                                    ok, the tcpdump in the mentioned way only worked with pfSense 1.2.3, so for 2.0 I did 2 separate tcpdumps. Strange…
                                    Hope it helps.

                                    First I disconnected the wan-IF, auto-connect worked on 1.2.3, so no further things to do. Surfed around, disconnected some times.
                                    Same on 2.0, except the failing autoconnect. So I connected via Button, surfed, disconnected and connected several times.

                                    If you need more, tell me please.
                                    I zipped the files and attached .txt to upload it. Please remove the .txt to get the zip back.

                                      It seems to me that mpd stops reconnecting when it experiences a connect fail or auth fail. Can't say whether this is a feature or a bug but it is definitely a problem.

                                      Even a connection that has auth failed should be retried periodically since the reason for the failure can go away and one would expect pfSense to recover from this within a reasonable time and without intervention.

                                        I have a similar problem, PPOe disconnects every day, and don't connect back again automatically, I have to do it manually, with version 1.2.3 and previous this work perfectly, if ppoe disconnects for any reason it reconnects automatically.

                                          Hi.

                                          I've no clue how it was done in 1.2.x but just wondering if you guys force mpd to re-establish a connection by adding "set bundle no noretry" into appropriate section of your interfaces.inc. This will force mpd to re-connect whenever the keep-alive expires. Or sit tight and wait for it'd be fixed eventually in any later builds…

                                          cheers,
