pfsense in hyper-v vm used in simple home lab, linux boxes always require pfsense reboot??
-
I'm using pfsense as a router/firewall in a hyper-v vm for a basic lab. All the windows hosts behind the pfsense work just fine, but, every linux box I've tried now requires me to reboot the pfsense vm or the linux box won't reach the internet.
If, for whatever reason, I have to shutdown or reboot the the linux host, it won't reach the internet until I reboot the pfsense vm again. I've tried both dhcp and manually configuring the ip information on the linux boxes.
I was curious if anyone has seen this before? Honestly, if may not even be a pfsense thing, it could be something with hyper-v, it could be a linux thing... I'm not sure.
I sure would appreciate any thoughts or ideas, thank you!!!

Hmm, well that shouldn't happen!
Do the Linux clients pull a DHCP lease? Can they reach other hosts in the subnet?
-
Hah, I know right? Yeah, I just tried it..Linux can ping windows on the same subnet and the internet and vice versa, then I restarted the Linux box and.... nothing, can't ping anything. Until I restart the pfsense and then everything works again.
I'm gonna delete the hyper-v adapters and recreate it and see if that does anything.
-
Hmm, that does seem vaguely familiar.
I don't run hyper-v here but you might ask in the virtualization sub.

I dunno.... no clue, I rebuilt the 2 hyper-v adapters on the pfsense vm, the external and internal... and of course now it works. Oh well...Thanks for responding to my question!!!
