      Hi guys, I'm having the same problem with loss of WAN. I also tried disabling monitor, didn't help. I just tried the recommended DHCP "Advanced Configuration" by Johnny and I lost WAN even faster. On Win 10 Ethernet Status it says Connection: IPv6 Connectivity: No network access. When I boot it also says, ">>>Start PXE over IPv6, Press [esc] to exit... then same for IPv4.

      I've attached some pics from dhcpd.log and system.log. This is my first experience installing pfSense. Any idea what's going on here? Any help would be appreciated.

      Thx, Terry

        I moved this to a new thread since I very much doubt it's that same DHCP relay issue you're hitting here.

        Are you unable to connect to the pfSense webgui from the LAN side?

        It's much easier to analyse the logs if you can copy and paste the text from an SSH session or from the web log viewer than from screenshots.

        It's looks like you have some IPv6 issues there but that shouldn't stop traffic working via IPv4.

        What exactly are you seeing that makes you think the WAN is 'lost'?

        I note you're using a USB NIC for WAN and a Realtek NIC for LAN which is about the worst possible NIC choices 😉 It should still work though.

          @stephenw10 hello! thanks for the response, usb ethernet wont work long term, seen that when i looked at the netgate pfsense manual. that was the issue. i ran through the laptop with a vlan on single nic. works now, just having trouble figuring out a second vlan. i posted a request for help under L2/Switching/VLANs.

          thanks again!

          Terry
