      Replaced old ethernet cable with a brand new one now just to verify it's not the cable.

      Will report back the result.

        This is a few lines from my system.log

        Apr 21 09:34:56 pfSense check_reload_status: rc.newwanip starting sk0

        Normally it starts with "check_reload_status: Linkup starting sk0" and then it brings the interface down and up again.
        Sometimes it's just once and sometimes it can repeat itself during the next couple of seconds. up to 4-5 times sometimes.

        Should i check some other log for errors ?

        Stefan,

        Yes post more lines of the system log (200) and also gateway log and dhcp log

        P.S. i had a similar problem, cable seemed good in the tester, but when bending it a little in a certain way, there was a breach…

          Still getting this problem even with a new cable.

          Here's exactly what's happening in the logs at the time (the other entries in the logs aren't relevant and is atleast 30 minutes before the incident so didn't include them)

            Tried switching the interfaces now to see if there's something with a NIC.

              Yep it's my sk0 interface.

              WAN is ok now and LAN is on static.

              but sk0 still being reset but atleast now it's being ignored cause it's on static ip.

              wonder if it's the driver or the card..

                Might want to try swapping WAN and LAN assignments, see if it's just that NIC not playing nicely with your modem or whatever you have it plugged into. If the problem goes away, that's probably it. If the problem stays on your WAN, it's probably a modem issue. If the problem moves to LAN, probably a NIC issue.

                  Ye that's just what i tried.

                  problem moved to LAN when i switched.

                  So question is then if it's a driver issue or a hardware issue.

                  I'm considering getting a intel NIC instead.

                    Funny story though.

                    It's triggering rc.newwanip on my LAN interface ?

                    Is it supposed to do that ?

                      @stefanfa:

                      It's triggering rc.newwanip on my LAN interface ?

                      Is it supposed to do that ?

                      Yes, that runs any time any interface gains link. It won't do much of anything when on a static IP LAN interface.

                        Anyway. This isn't really a problem anymore for me.

                        I know what caused the issues now.
