      I had a fully functioning multi-wan setup on 2.0.1 running on an Alix board.  I upgraded the system to 2.0.3, which appeared to go flawlessly.  After the upgrade, one of my two gateways is never detected as online, even though it is passing data on that circuit.  I've tried different known usable monitoring IP's, I've rebooted the box a couple times, but nothing I've done gets pfSense to detect the gateway as online like it is.  I know the circuit itself is functional because I have and use a number of port forwards on that circuit, which are all functioning just fine.

      Any troubleshooting hints or tips?

        Can you actually ping the monitor IP on that circuit?

        I mean go to Diag > Ping and try to ping it and see what happens.

        Make sure there aren't any other conflicting routes that would be sending the traffic out the wrong way, too, such as in the DNS settings.

          That's something else that's strange (that I forgot to mention).  When you just trying pinging from that interface out to anything, you get no response.  That just doesn't make sense, though, because there are multiple functioning VPN tunnels as well as port forwards on that same circuit.

          I don't have any special routes for DNS defined.  It's almost like any traffic originating on the IP address of that interface going out is either dropped or blocked.  Traffic destined for that same IP, though, comes in no problem.

            It could be that your ISP is dropping all ICMP on that circuit. It's not unheard of. I can't imagine how that is different on 2.0.3 than 2.0.1 though, a ping from the GUI wouldn't be any different.

              I'm having the ISP look at it, but no luck so far.  There's just no response to ICMP requests issued by the firewall on that circuit.

                The ISP confirms they're not blocking anything.  I disable gateway monitoring just to force pfSense into realizing the circuit is up, but it can't send any traffic out on that circuit.  It can respond to traffic coming in on that circuit just fine.  I'm still convinced the routing is screwball.

                  If you can post the output of "ifconfig -a" and "netstat -rn" it might shed some light on what is going on.

                  You can anonymize the IPs if you want just so long as they are distinguishable/identifiable in some way (e.g. one subnet is x.x.x, another is y.y.y, don't just make them all x's if the subnets are different)

                    Sure, anonymized and posted below (but I didn't change the netmasks to reflect my fictitious IP range).  Vr1 is connected to the ISP where the firewall only receives and responds to traffic.  No traffic seems to leave the firewall on that interface.
