      Not sure if this expected behavior or not but…

      Remoted into a pfSense 2.0 recent build using Qwest dsl with a Zoom 5615 bridge. pfSense handling pppoe. I clicked on interfaces/assign (just to find the interface type) and promptly lost the connection into the site...  I have an ata and camera on site that have also lost connection out of the site.

      Just FYI for anyone else with the same type of setup.

        I haven't heard of the happening before. Can you look in the logs to see if anything is there about a disconnect on WAN at that time?

          One thing I didn't mention is that I was logged in via putty also at the time I signed in with the web gui…

          I was going to work on it to be able to see my dsl modem's web gui from a local browser on site..

            I had a similar thing happen to me once. In my case it was due to LastPass's autofill function. For whatever reason it replaced the pppoe password on that page then automatically hit the submit button for me. I had to get on a LAN host and fix it, after hitting LastPass with a hammer of course.
