No DHCP on WAN after upgrade to latest snap
-
Running the snapshot of 2.0 RC1 from 3/3/2011
Was previously on 3/2/2011 and had no issues. Ran the auto update to the latest snapshot today.
My WAN interface now no longer automatically obtains an ip address after a reboot. I have to drop a shell and run
dhclient re1
then everything seems to work fine. If I just try pressing renew on the diag–>interfaces page it still doesn't work.
Nothing much in the logs
php: : ERROR! PPTP enabled but could not resolve the $pptpdtarget
Mar 4 03:43:08 php: : Could not find gateway for interface(wan).Anywhere in particular i should look?
Thanks

Anywhere in particular i should look?
Check the system log (web GUI: Status -> System Logs, click on System tab) for dhclient entries.

Show complete system log and the wan interface configuration screenshot.

Nothing about dhclient in the system.log
On my running system, vr0 is my WAN interface and gets its address by DHCP.
ps ax | grep dhcl
8726 ?? Is 0:02.13 dhclient: vr0 [priv] (dhclient)
13941 ?? Is 0:03.49 dhclient: vr0 (dhclient)Some people have reported in pfSense 1.2.3 that dhclient apparently quietly dies.
You should see dhclient report its startup in the system log (WEB GUI: Status -> System logs, click on System tab) soon after system startup but it might disappear from the system log if a lot of other events are reported. If I recall correctly, someone recently posted some suggested changes to dhclient startup in pfSense 2.0 to make it more robust.

Hello,
The log i attached is directly after startup. I cleaned the log before i rebooted so no events have been missed as far as i can tell.
Very strange.
