After a complete system shutdown after a power failure, on powerup, dpinger was stuck pounding away on 192.168.0.1 and not the proper default gateway. There was proper connectivity to the ISP and beyond. Gateways status showed off-line even though the system was on-line.

Status > Services > dpinger restart corrected the errant Gateways status.

What is 192.168.0.1? Cable modem?

[tedquade]

@stephenw10 That's my guess but no proof. Modem status is 192.168.100.1. It's a Hitron coda 4582 in bridge mode. Internal lan IP is 192.168.0.1 when used as a wireless router/cable modem.

@tedquade Look at https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/interfaces/configure-ipv4.html#dhcp and the "reject leases from" header.

[tedquade]

@rcoleman-netgate In my case should I set that to 192.168.0.1 or ?

@tedquade Check your DHCP logs to see what system gave you the 192.168.0.x IP and set it to that.

@rcoleman-netgate Looks like 192.168.0.1 is the culprit.
DHCP log is as follows:

Yup, reject leases from that. At least it only gives you a 30s lease though.

[tedquade]

@stephenw10 Done.
