It's a bit hard to tell from this description what exactly is going on ... but have you told Shorewall that you are using DHCP to get your external address? The symptoms you describe are consistent with Shorewall blocking DHCP ... a failed attempt to get a new lease causes punp to *try* to keep using its old lease address, and that works except when RR decides it needs to change.I've got 2 Bering 1.0 boxes (different locations) with the 2.4.20 kernel, each using a 3nic system. My isp is Roadrunner. 3 times now, Roadrunner service has died briefly and when it came back up my Bering box can't connect. Logs show that pump cannot renew the lease. Tried restarting pump, the network, and the nic, but still nothing. Each time this has happened, a reboot fixes everything and I notice that my ip address has changed.
If that guess isn't it ... and information you have but did not report here could easily rule out this possibility ... perhaps a few more details would help.
When you say "Roadrunner service has died briefly", what do you mean? The line fails? The server at the other end fails? What kind of service interruption are you seeing?
After it comes back and "my Bering box can't connect", what does the router's configuration look like? In particular, is the router still trying to use the "old" external IP address, or is the external interface unconfigured (no IP address)?
Finally, after a service interruption, why does the Bering box *try* to get a new DHCP lease in the first place? If the old lease has not expired, it should believe that it has a valid IP address (and the server at the other end should too -- in that respect, this sounds like a case where RR is using DHCP but not following the rules for using it right).
Only thing I could think of is to remove the "nodns" parameter from pump.conf so pump can write resolv.conf, but I don't know if that's my problem or not. My isp's nameserver ip's have not changed.
Improbable, based on your description.
Does it have a problem "when the ip changes" independent of these "service has died briefly" settings?During normal operation, logs show pump renews the lease fine (2 or 3 times a day at different hours for some reason) it just seems to have a problem when the ip changes. Any ideas?
