      DHCP Client is exiting soon after it starts. Perhaps it is reporting why. Please post the output of pfSense shell command```
      cat /tmp/em3*

        Bump.  Does anyone have any thoughts on the original problem posted in this thread?  (it seems like jwu42's problem is different than mine)

          I had a similar problem in 2.0.2 but I do not have the logs anymore as I rolled back to 2.0.1. What would happen is that when the lease expired from my cable modem it would not renew until I went into the gui and renewed it myself.

          It's a shame, because 2.0.2 fixed the upnp issue I had.. but I can't use it because a reliable dhcp lease is more important.

            You might try a 2.0.3 image:

              I'm trying out this guy:
              pfSense-Full-Update-2.0.3-PRERELEASE-i386-20130129-0807.tgz

              I'll let you know if I have any issues. Thanks.

                FWIW, I don't see anything in https://github.com/bsdperimeter/pfsense/commits/RELENG_2_0?page=1 that would seem to indicate that something has changed with regards to the WAN DHCP client.

                Also FWIW, I notice that if I run dhclient myself, it's just not getting anything back:

                
[2.0.2-RELEASE][admin@pfsense.squyres.com]/(8): dhclient -c /var/etc/dhclient_wan.conf -d sk0
dhclient: PREINIT
DHCPDISCOVER on sk0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 1
DHCPDISCOVER on sk0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 1
DHCPDISCOVER on sk0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 2
DHCPDISCOVER on sk0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 3
DHCPDISCOVER on sk0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 8
DHCPDISCOVER on sk0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 13
DHCPDISCOVER on sk0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 7
DHCPDISCOVER on sk0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 14
DHCPDISCOVER on sk0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 12
No DHCPOFFERS received.
No working leases in persistent database - sleeping.

                This tends to imply that it's dhclient itself – or perhaps the driver for my NIC -- that is borked. Not pfsense core/proper.

                Is there a way to tell if dhclient or the NIC driver has been updated since 2.0.1?  My IP interface is sk0, if that helps identify the driver (sorry, I don't know anything about the BSD OS...).

                  I have the same problem as before in 2.0.3. my link loses the ip address and my internet is down until I renew the IP through the gui.

                  Below is a tail of my system.logs
                  Jan 31 02:56:11 pfsense kernel: arpresolve: can't allocate llinfo for 72.208.8.1

                  Note that my internet went down several hours later, at 08:14. I don't think these are significant but i'll let you decide.. If you'd like me to get any other logs please provide me with the log location.

                  Thanks
                  Matt

                    Start with the rest of the system log, especially at/near the time of the actual failure.

                      Well I'm pretty sure the time of failure was 8 am and the snippet I pasted you was the output from tail, thus the most recent. However given that it is the first thing in the morning I may be mistaken about it actually working.

                      Here are some other noteworthy logs I saw:

                        And here are the details from ifconfig, so you can see which interface is what:
                        rl0: flags=8843 <up,broadcast,running,simplex,multicast>metric 0 mtu 1500

                                inet6 fe80::201:c0ff:fe03:dc77%rl0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1

                          Odd that if you look at the log, it appears that the devd events are reversed for what they should be.

                          Jan 31 02:52:23 pfsense kernel: rl1: link state changed to DOWN
Jan 31 02:52:24 pfsense php: : DEVD Ethernet attached event for wan
Jan 31 02:52:24 pfsense php: : HOTPLUG: Configuring interface wan
Jan 31 02:52:25 pfsense kernel: rl1: link state changed to UP
Jan 31 02:52:30 pfsense php: : DEVD Ethernet detached event for wan

                          Though when I test that on my VM with em NICs, it gets it right.

                          Can you watch the log and see if when you unplug the NIC it does the same thing each time?

                          When you unplug it should log an "ethernet detached" event.
                          When you plug it in, it should log an "ethernet attached" event.

                            It's happening to me as well on 2.0.3 (just as it is on 2.1). Log below is in reverse time order:

                              I suspect @swinn:

                              
Feb 3 11:19:14 kernel: em0: link state changed to UP

                              should have triggered a restart of dhclient. There is no sign of that happening, but that might be because you didn't show enough of the log file.

                              Because the previous incarnation of dhclient exited and dhclient (apparently) wasn't restarted it appears there is no running dhclient to issue a DHCP request for configuration.

                              MAYBE there are too many link state transitions in too short a period.

                                Here is the log from the time the interface went down to the time I logged in and pressed the renew dhcp button. This is in reverse order again:

                                  I flipped these log entries around because trying to follow the flow of messages in reverse-order logs is bothersome…

Feb 3 11:19:14 kernel: em0: link state changed to UP

                                  If I had to guess I'd say that the link cycled too fast and either DEVD did not fire the event to bring it back up or the event was lost somewhere in between devd and check_reload_status.

                                  Are you spoofing a MAC on that interface? Or setting any other custom values other than the interface name and setting it for DHCP?

                                    No MAC spoofing or anything unusual. It is a very basic home setup.

                                      Could be something sketchy happening at the modem then…

                                      Ermal is looking into a fix, I started a ticket here: https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/2792

                                        It looks like anytime the cable goes out or I get a T4 error (causes modem reboot), it happens. It's a Motorola 6120. We had an all out outage yesterday which caused the log I posted above. Sometimes I'll get a T4 error which causes the modem to reboot and pfSense doesn't recover. pfSense 2.0.1 would recover just fine.

                                        I'm actually going to buy a new modem today in hopes it will fix something. If not I'll go back to 2.0.1 but wanted to remain on the newer versions to help fix it. I can't have the wife with no Internet while I'm at work - I get nasty calls :)

                                          OK, snaps up now should have a potential fix in for this.

                                          2.0.3 snaps can be found here: http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,58203.msg311614.html#msg311614
                                          2.1 snaps are on http://snapshots.pfsense.org/

                                            It's awful bug! But to install a "snap" it's much more unsafely IMHO.
                                            You can use my temp solution:
                                            Repeat every minute by cron smth like this

                                            $ cat /root/renew-ip.sh
#!/bin/sh

GW=`netstat -rn | grep default | egrep -o "[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}"`
lan_inf="em1"

ping -c 5 -i 0.1 -q $GW >/dev/null
  if [ $? != 0 ]; then
    logger "GW:$GW sucks"
    ping -c 5 -q ya.ru >/dev/null 
      if [ $? != 0 ]; then
         /sbin/dhclient $lan_inf
        logger "GW:$GW Crash!"
	sleep 30
      fi
  fi
exit 1

                                            It works for me since 2.0.2 upgrade comes

                                            2.0.2-RELEASE (i386)
                                            Intel(R) Atom(TM) CPU 330 @ 1.60GHz
