I'm experiencing some strange behavior with my beta2 box.
I have to keep manually renewing the WAN dhcp. I'll connect to a website
from a client on the LAN, and then maybe five minutes later, when I go
to another page, it "can't find the page" (none of my internet based
things work, actually), so I open up the webGUI and go to the interfaces
page, and there the WAN DHCP is down, and I have to click renew.
This probablem happens intermittently (like it started last night, and
now it's not doing it)
I don't quite understand even why this should be happening. I thought,
though, in the past that it automatically renewed DHCP leases on the
WAN. More than likely, however, it's a hardware or ISP problem, and has
nothing to do with the pfSense box. I thought I should post this here in
case this is a pfsense issue.
My hardware:
pentium-MMX 200mhz
64MB sd100 ram
2x 3com 905* nics (one's a 905b-tx, the other a 905-tx)
CD-ROM platform (I don't like the noise added by harddrives)
floppy-drive (with my config)
The webGUI is a little sluggish in comparison to m0n0. But of course it
should be: m0n0 was designed for this kind of hardware, and pfsense,
well, wasn't. But, I like the features of pfsense more than m0n0, so I
use it now.
