<p dir="auto">I've tried building myself an Router/Firewall setup with PFsense. just as simple as it gets.<br />
But it isn't going to work. I've got a lil problem.</p>
<p dir="auto">The WAN interface is on DHCP mode, but it doen't seem to accept the IP address that is given to him at the time of moment.<br />
While the dhcp from my router (soon to be over) gives it 192.168.1.134 (as I can see on my router page). After 30 seconds the IP address updates and it got the 192.168.1.35 address (As far as I can see).<br />
This continuous until the end of the DHCP range and than begins at the first available adres again.</p>
<p dir="auto">It's build on a VMware ESXI 6.0 box as 11.0 VM. Has 2 nics both e1000.</p>
<p dir="auto">I've added some screenshots below, hope this will help.</p>
