      Hi,

      New to forum. Been running pfsense on homebuild for 4 years, with default settings.. Had some time to try to learn pfsense/networking so upgraded to Netgate 4200 appliance and 24.11 RELEASE 2 weeks ago. Still default settings. No issue. Network running just fine.

      Today I was going to begin making some changes but saw the ICS DHCP decommissioning message so decided to make change to KEA DHCP my first action.

      System-->Advanced-->Networking
      Clicked KEA radio button and SAVE

      Network was very slow after. After about 10 minutes Leases started to appear. Response times slowed in pfsense with each click.

      I was checking system logs (not that I know what they mean) when I lost internet connection. Rebooted desktop, then tried a soft shutdown of the 4200 and power cycle.

      2-3 minutes after power up, the Netgate 4200 has solid blue light at bottom right ROUND led. The other 5 are dark including the diamond. No Internet service in network.

      How do I get service back so I can change back to ISC DHCP. Not a good start for my pfsense exploration.

      Any help would be appreciated.

      Thank you
