      What do the settings for the DHCP server look like for opt1? What does /var/dhcpd/etc/dhcpd.conf look like?

          Looks normal to me… Anything blocked in the firewall logs on that interface?

              The one ending in ~ is a backup, not the real leases file.

              Are you low on space on /var maybe?

                  Packet capture on the OPT1 interface, see if the traffic for either statically assigned hosts, or DHCP requests, gets to it. Check the dhcpd process's command line arguments for the interfaces.

                    Heres the DHCP process's command line arguments;
                    I'll do a packet capture.

                    dhcpd  18718  0.0  1.6  6752  4024  ??  Ss    1:48PM   0:00.81 /usr/local/sbin/dhcpd -user dhcpd -group _dhcp -chroot /var/dhcpd -cf /etc/dhcpd.conf vr0 vr1

                    Strange, I select OPT1 in the Packet Cap GUI and seems like its selecting the WAN interface.

                    Just rename the file to .pcap

                    Robert

                    packetcapture(2).xls

                      that's your WAN traffic, if you picked OPT1 your OPT1 has to be plugged into WAN somehow or bridged to it or something.

                        I never setup a bridge, My wan is connected to vr2 and is working. vr2 (OP1) is working and handing out leases.

                        Just my vr1 (LAN) will not hand over leases. I might have to revert back to pfSense 1.2.3. If I cant figure this out tonight.
