      Hi, I have a problem.

      I created a Gateway Group with WAN1 and WAN2 both with Trier 1. I defined in rule this group as gateway. So I'm using LoadBalancing.

      Unfortunatelly after some time one of both is not working anymore because IP is 0.0.0.0 then. If I take a look into syslog I see DHCP is not working anymore which means WAN doesn't get valid IP from cable-modem (from Kabeldeutschland):

      ```This happens repeately. It only works then after I rebooted pfsense.
      
      This is what status->interfaces looks like:
      

      Status up
      DHCP up  
      MAC address XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX
      IP address 0.0.0.0

      In/out packets (pass) 511534/516848 (168.09 MB/68.95 MB)
      In/out packets (block) 2839/0 (139 KB/0 bytes)
      In/out errors 149101/2
      Collisions 0</full-duplex>

      
      Before same happened but on other WAN. So… whats wrong here? Any Idea how to fix that?
      
      I'm using 2.0-Release.

        u r not alone.  :)

        I got the same problem with unitymedia as ISP.
        pf-Sense lost the connection anytime and get it not back automatically.
        when i go to console and dhclient em1 then everything works fine again.
        The suspect for me is UnityMedia… with a lot of other people ppp works very fine for example.
