Pfsense can't negotiate healthy conneccíon with my fiber modem
-
Hi.
I've got a Pfsense box (home made dual nic small PC) and i've got a problem with a new fiber modem,
First, the WAN of Pfsense was not able to establish a connectión with the modem in DHCP, I've tried to assign a static address, but the conneción was not resolving, so I've tweaked the DHCP advanced feature of the WAN and now, it connect and get an IP, as well as passing the conneción to the LAN.
BUT, every time I want to use a software that wants to have a upnp port open, the Fiber Modem gets stuck, loose is connectión (no internet on his wifi).
When I use the fiber modem from my old ISP with the same config, everything is alright.
When I connect my server directly to the new Fiber Modem, everything is alright.I can't understand what the problem is.

Hi,
That doesn't happen by you telling what to do, DHCP or static IP.
In most cases, the ISP device will give you an address using DHCP. (f.e. in SOHO)So what's the next step?
Yes, monitor the DHCP log file contents...Oh and I'd also like to say something about what you write UPnP, this UPnP dude is not loved stuff on a firewall be careful with it.
BTW:
What address does the ISP device give you, public IP or private IP?
(yup, yes I know you write modem, but many people don't understand this definition) -
@daddygo Thank you for your answer.
The ISP box give mi a private IP LAN side and have a DHCP ranomly allocated public IP fiber wan side.
I will try to dig deeper in the Pfsense wan log to see if I can detect the problemAnother thing... I call it a Fiber Modem because it modulate between ELECTRICAL datas signal TO LIGHT datas signal, old phone line modem was modulating between electrical and sound datas.
But a the end, its a Fiber router also.
