<![CDATA[PPPoE WAN wont auto connect]]>Hi all,

Really need this fixed as soon as, can offer money to successful fix if that allowed.

Hardware
Vmware 6
1 WAN (block of IPS)
3 Internal LANs with VLAN

The PPPoE does not auto connect if i disconnect it. It went off over night for few hours and never reconnected and not sure why. If i manually connect it everything works fine, no issues.

Have attached pictures, noticed the WAN does not have an adaptor assigned yet it obtains a connection not sure if this has anything to do with it.

If you change the monitor IP to something like google DNS or something you should get a representation of when the gateway is up or down from PF.
