Can't obtain external IP on WAN interface
-
Might need to either clone the MAC address from the Verizon router or call them and have them free it up or do whatever else it is that they do.
My preference would be to actually fix the problem by calling the ISP and having them do whatever they need to do since the other interface with that MAC address is physically still on the network.
-
What exactly do they need to do?
-
Better question for them. They should know everything about what they are providing. Explain to them exactly what you want to do.
-
They won't provide or validate instructions. Third party routers are not supported.
-
Nice.
Guess that's money well spent.
-
i may have to pay to have them run ethernet instead of coax. :(
I have a feeling its the router config that's fucked up and not the coax connection.
-
About all I can suggest trying is putting 00:26:b8:16:c0:12 in the MAC Address on Interfaces > WAN and seeing what happens.
ISPs really do suck.
-
I'll give that a shot.
Where can I find the DHCP logs for the WAN port and how can I force a release/renew?
-
The regular dhcp logs.
Status > Interfaces

There are some threads here re: Verizon DHCP, router impersonation, etc. In the past they even required certain DHCP options be included in the request. Try search.
Oh, and the Verizon DHCP lease is probably 2 hours, if you want to wait it out to get released.
-
I gave the WAN interface the same MAC address as the router. Still no luck.
Looking at the DHCP logs it looks like the WAN interface is getting a DHCP lease? Am I reading this wrong? I also saw the WAN lease in the pfsense DHCP leases page. What is going on here?

No it's not getting responses to DHCPREQUESTs or DHCPDISCOVERs so it used what it had cached from the last time it got 192.168.0.28 from somewhere.
