        I have added a workaround and verified that it does indeed seem to work.

        Update to the latest snapshot at least an hour from now.  Currently 11:46PM EST.

            I really don't see how it could not work.

            Run this from a shell:

            cat /sbin/dhclient | grep reload

            What does the results say?

              it does not say anything:
              –----------------------------

              Enter an option: 8

              cat /sbin/dhclient | grep reload

              Binary file (standard input) matches

                  Works fine for me, only lost my ip 2 times, and that was before the latest snapshot.

                        Atm there is a workaround in pllace that will restart the dhclient when it exits. Does it get restarted?

                            It can take up to 5 minutes to restart dhclient depending on if check_reload_status is running.

                            So if you still have trouble please check that check_reload_status is running from a shell by doing:

                            ps awux | grep check_reload_status

                            Also, cat /etc/crontab | grep check

                              I found yet another problem.  This WAN DHCP issue has been nothing but fun!

                              Try out a recent snapshot atleast an hour from now.

                                        At this point reinstall.  My dhclient has been rock solid for over 24 hours!

                                            Make that 48 hours.  And Vescovo has been running it for 48 hours on 2 wans with 180 second renewal time.

                                            This issue is fixed for sure and verified now by 3 different people.
