Interfaces stop passing traffic

tlf30

Hello,
I have a pfSense box that we just grabbed out of storage and brought online. It was working fine in the past, and I updated it and hooked it up, it runs great, does everything perfect, no errors in the log files. BUT, both the LAN and WAN interfaces will stop passing traffic and their little LED on the NIC will turn off. They do it independently most of the time, but will sometimes both go at once. pfSense still hows them as UP and does not log any errors. The upstream router on the WAN still shows a connection and so does the switch on the LAN. It just will not pass any traffic.

Any help is great.

Thanks,
Trevor

First thought would be a bridge failing at some point.

I might save the config, default the install and upload the config.

I think it might have had something to do with the update from 2.2.2 to 2.2.6… When I did the reset, my version went back to 2.2.2. Not really sure at this point. This install might be really messes up and I might have to reflash it.

I would have never found the issue had I not followed your advice and reset it!

But, my problem is one that I really don't like. The LCDproc-dev package is the one that causes the issue. If I disable it from the GUI, all interfaces start working again. If I enable it, it is like a time bomb waiting to go off and kill all of my traffic.

Does anyone know a solution?

Is it possible you have LCDproc-dev as well as LCDproc (hanging out prior to the update)?
They will likely interfere with one another.
