I have here a sb6120, I also have 2x5101s.</p>
<p dir="auto">Sometimes it works perfectly, but other times it's really stupid and can't get an ip from them.</p>
<p dir="auto">Now, it's not the modem, as I am posting from it on my laptop directly connected to the nets.</p>
<p dir="auto">I get "Destination unreachable" when I try to ping it through pfsense the modem (192.168.100.1)</p>
<p dir="auto">Usually I get it fixed by rebooting the modem a whole lot, or the router, or both.</p>
<p dir="auto">I can get to the modem page if I do static ip on the WAN and set it to 192.168.100.5 and the gateway as 192.168.100.1</p>
<p dir="auto">Obviously I won't get Internet access while doing this.</p>
<p dir="auto">Is this a common problem? I have 2xintel 1gbp/s nics, also tried a rosewill, same problem. When on the CMI configuraiton interface, it can't configure them from the cmi install either… it just gets stuck and then just assigns it an ip of 0.0.0.0</p>
<p dir="auto">Also what's kind of funny is, my website pops up when this happens... when I try to go to any website, it just shows my website. Probably some sort of loopback thingy. (I am hosting my site on my LAN)</p>
