Autoupdate of WAN address doesn't seem to work

Hm,
I have made a backup of the configuration from within the web interface. Unfortunately there is no section called cron.
Should I add it somewhere?
Cheers,

Add it at the very bottom like:
... <cron><minute>*/5</minute> <hour>*</hour> <mday>*</mday> <month>*</month> <wday>*</wday> <who>root</who> <command></command>/usr/local/bin/checkreload.sh</cron>
You have to be at the latest snapshot version for this to work.

Try uptdaing to the latest snapshot. This entry should be auto added when it updates the config.

What's strange to me (as I'm in germany too and these things described work like charme in earlier versions of pfSense up until the recent snapshot without problems at all) is:
- Dial on demand disabled
- Idle timeout disabledI have configured my boxes to DialOnDemand enabled with an idle timeout of 0 (as this is none at all so stay connected and redial if disconnected by provider) and with the new snapshot I added Daniels brilliant Cron Setting for disconnecting at a specific time to workaround the 24h disconnect (I set it up for 0500 every morning).
With this config I have pfSense running until a pre-1.0 Release and hadn't had a problem on the way with DynDNS or connecting from an external IP (setup exactly like yoogie with SSH and HTTP(s) from an external static IP).
Just an idea…

Hi there,
thanks for your help.
I have recently rebuilt the whole system and reconfigured all the stuff. We will see tomorrow if it is solved or not. I will report.

Ok, another problem running "1.0.1 built on Mon Nov 13 05:22:16 UTC 2006".
I have configured the DSL line, the transparent squid and captive portal. The rules are set properly, but now I cannot connect from inside to outside at all. It seems that squid doesn't generate the transparent nat rule…
Weird.
Should I roll back to 1.0.1 stable and check the options, grey has suggested? What do you think?

I suggest running the latest snapshot (your built time is 2006 Nov 13) which is pretty old. It should work fine with the latest snapshot I think.

Oh damn, my fault… I am sorry.
I got that image from the swiss mirror. The date on the server was 6th feb 07. I am pretty sure...
Well I will give it another try.
