      Sorry, I just changed my reply, up two posts. Those were the only DHCP entries I could find. Sorry for the confusion.

        I just found this post which may be a temporary answer. I haven't read all of it yet.

        After reading, it looks a little too complicated for me to try ☺ . Looks like I'll have to wait for the next pfSense release for this to be fixed.

          Yup, that's the bug we are referring to. The dhcp client fails to handle that error correctly and instead of simply retrying until it gets a reply it just stops. If the cause of that is the upstream device booting slowly for example then simply increasing the timeout there can get past it. But if there is some bigger delay it can be a problem.

            stephenw10...Thanks for that information. It's great to know the issue is being addressed. I just hope as Jim Pingle mentioned in the redmine link, it's not much longer now. I just can't wait for it to be resolved. Thanks for the assistance.

              It just hit me to ask. Since this issue affects the user base of pfSense, have the pfSense developers thought of releasing a fix at least just for this issue before the next version of pfSense is released? This would at least alleviate a lot of restart frustration. Just wondering.

                In System > Update, would anyone happen to know if the fix for the dhclient is in the "Latest 2.4.x development version (2.4.5)", Latest Base System 2.4.5.a.20101222.1312? I would be willing to install just to fix the issue.

                When I login to the terminal, would anyone know what the release/renew command is so I don't have to keep restarting?

                Thanks.

                  It doesn't look like it made 11 stable so not in 2.4.5 either:

                      You would need to apply those patches, rebuild the binaries on an equivalent FreeBSD system and upload them to pfSense. A non-trivial task.

                          @newuser2pfsense said in sendto error: 65:

                          https://forum.netgate.com/topic/96923/pfsense-not-recovering-from-wan-failure

                          I am having the same issue using 2.5.1-RELEASE

                          After around 8 hrs of use, I cannot reach internet, neither pfsense through LAN interface

                          This is happening since I installed the latest version of pfsense

                          On Status/System Logs/System/Gateways I see this error:
                          WAN_DHCP 8.8.8.8: Alarm latency 3143us stddev 155us loss 21%

                          I don't see any additional info in the logs that can help

                          I am using suricata, I wouldn't want to disable it, but I will try to disable service by service to try to find the guilty

                          Thanks

                            You are seeing the DHCP client timeout and stop requesting a lease?

                            As shown in the now resolved bug: https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/9267 ?

                            If not then you're seeing something different and replying on this thread is just confusing.

                                Hi

                                My pfsense is presenting the same sympthons as the others: the "sendto error: 65" error, but as someone pointed out, it is just dpinger showing there is not connectivity

                                I was using DHCP for WAN. Looking for a workaround I set up a static IP on WAN, and I set up my modem to use another range of IPs, where my WAN IP is not part of. I did that because someone commented that maybe it was due to a DHCP lease problem

                                But unfurtanately the issue continues happening

                                One question, those patches that you mentioned, were not already implemented somehow in 2.5.1-RELEASE?

                                Maybe if I install pfsense in another appliance will solve it

                                Thanks guys

                                  Good news

                                  The issue was solved for me, it was due to a damaged ethernet cable

                                    @stephenw10 I'm having the same issue on 2.5.2, is that still not fixed in pfsense itself?

                                      Yes, that's been in since 2.4.5.
