Intermittent Internet troubleshooting
-
back to screwed again.. Can't believe how unstable this is. I thought that 2.3 fixed the problem. Internet just goes down, only way to get it back up is a reboot. NOTHING in the logs at all. WTF can I do to fix this? I want to chuck the whole thing out the f'n window.

And your WAN is what: DHCP, PPPoE, static - all that connected to a switch/modem/router/… ?
-
wan is dhcp, connected directly to Nic. then Lan nic connected to small 5 port switch. haven't even got openVPN setup yet, trying to keep it very simple to get it stable.

You mentioned Netflix and video so understand this may be a total stab in the dark but check this post out.

Was there ever a solution to this problem? I'm experiencing the same thing.
-
honestly, I had Shaw come out to replace the modem but it was working pretty good before then. I am up and running fine now with the network card I thought was a problem. I honestly think the problem, at least for me was 2.3 and using dns resolver.
-
Glad to see you had a fix. I changed motherboard and still nothing. if I connect ISP to my PC everything works great. as soon as I put pfSense in the middle the problems start. :'(
-
ate you running 2.2.6?
-
2.3 would you recommend downgrading?
-
I'm no expert but it looks like there are some issues with it. it would rule it out. 2.2.6 is tried and true.
-
Well. Tried going down to 2.2.6 and no good. tried 2.2.3 still same thing. Tried 2 different Hardware and still same thing. but if I connect the ISP directly to the PC everything works fine. This is really frustrating.
