I am able to log inn into pfbox via LAN. If some one can help me to find out what's wrong with my box or something else. Following is the system log...

    Try turning off "gateway monitoring". Go to routing / select approperiate wan by clicking on E / check "disable gateway monitoring"

    Could also be a dodgy WAN cable or the device on the other end of the WAN cable - if there are short transitions of the connection going down then quickly back up again, then it has been known that the system sees the hardware down, but somehow misses processing the hardware coming back again.
    You can probably also recover by going to Status->Interfaces and doing a release and renew of the WAN DHCP address.
    Wiggle the WAN cable  ;)

    Would be nice with a feature on the pfSense to bring interface up and down if there is no traffic…  Anyone tried creating a custom script for this ?
