Problem with dhcp on wan interface
-
Hello all,
quick question hopefully.
I just made the transition from ipcop to pfsense (huge imrpovement if you ask me). Love all the extra features, but running into one issue. Everything runs great for a while, however when i wake up in the morning, the internal network is still up, but access to the outside world is down. When i go into the interface status page, both my wan connections show as not having an ip address. I hit the renew button, and both interfaces lease a new valid address and everything is back-up and running. However, it never seems to be able to do this automatically. My isp is zoomtown, so i don't have static ip address, it's all assigned through dhcp. However, when i was with ipcop, the address was never forcefully changed, unless i had to reboot the box, or forced an ip release, renew. Is there an option that i am missing somewhere that will automatically lease a new address, or something? im lost on this one.
The past couple days, i hooked up my ipcop box, and throughout all the pfsense connection issues, ipcop is running fine, so i don't think it's an isp issue?
Current Setup:
High Speed Modem
