Cannot get IP from modem
-
Does pfsense have some problems with some modems? I have here a sb6120, I also have 2x5101s.
Sometimes it works perfectly, but other times it's really stupid and can't get an ip from them.
Now, it's not the modem, as I am posting from it on my laptop directly connected to the nets.
I get "Destination unreachable" when I try to ping it through pfsense the modem (192.168.100.1)
Usually I get it fixed by rebooting the modem a whole lot, or the router, or both.
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
Obviously I won't get Internet access while doing this.
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
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)

Oh lawdy I just had to replug the modem while pfsense was on… which is also stupid, because it worked great on my laptop or any other pc, oh well... that's 4 hours wasted :P
