Keep loosing WAN IP Address - dhclient does not seem to do update

sullrich

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

Selective

mine to, but only after i pushed the renew button the first time it died, strange

sullrich

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.

Selective

Thats nice to hear =)

But just one thing, could you reboot your pfsense and monitor it again ?

My issue always come after a while when pfsense is rebooted, and the issue disappears after i push the renew button.

sullrich

Yes, it has been rebooted once.

Mine has been steady for the last 2 days as well.

I also get the dhcp problem only one time after each boot.
I have also been losing functionality of the DNS forwarder since upgrading to 1.0.2-0221 from 1.0.1 but that seems to have vanished since I started out with a fresh config.

Selective

as i said, happens one time after reboot, then press renew and the issue disappears,
there is something magic about the renew button that doesn´t happen in the reboot process =)

sullrich

I have rebooted countless times and cannot reproduce this. Sorry.

I don't think I am affected by that bug, It's much worse for me :(
After about 12h uptime (this time) the interface went down, when i renewed the ip adress nothing worked correctly, I could not do nslookup. Didnt try anything else. I restarted the DNS forwarder, it made no difference. I'm not sure about this but my hardware could be very incompatible with pfsense 1.0.2/fbsd 5.2.

Feb 27 08:43:36 kernel: arplookup 66.249.93.99 failed: could not allocate llinfo
Feb 27 08:43:36 kernel: arpresolve: can't allocate route for 66.249.93.99

Just wanted to say this, I don't have time to look further into this at the moment.

EDIT: SNAPSHOT-02-27-2007 solved my problems

This is not the same problem. Please start a new thread. And for the record, we do not use FreeBSD 5.2.

Any possibility that you try to run PPPoE along with Multiwan like in the following thread?
http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,3554.0.html

If this is true please add your comments to this thread. If not please start a new one like Scott asked you to do.

i don´t know what you guys are using when you are testing the dhclient, but issue still exists:

We lowered the lease time to 150 and used a dedicated testing box.

At this point we cannot reproduce the error. Reinstall.

Selective

i have done so 2 times already =)

sullrich

Well sorry, 4 developers where able to reproduce it prior but under no conditions does it break now.

I don't know what to tell you at this point.

Selective

oh well, i just lay low for a while, and see if others having problems too,

thanks for all your hard work !
