The ticket is 1679. I don't know if I classified it correctly-- I don't know if you guys wanted to consider it a bug or a feature req, but really it's both. I wanted to point this out so one of the dev gods can look at it with this in mind and change it if necessary. I do need DHCP on the WAN so if there's a quick workaround that anyone knows of, that would be great.

RE: [pfSense Support] DHCP Server Issues
Yes, when I disable OLSR the problem goes away because the subnet mask is no longer a dropdown when "Enable OLSR" is unchecked-- rather, it inherits the subnet mask from the interface that the server is bound to. In other words, when you enable OLSR, the subnet mask becomes a dropdown box (with 1-32 as options) and the setting does not stick, it always reverts to /32. Again, the only reason I even checked the box was to get a DHCP Server on the WAN (which doesn't appear to work anyway). So I guess there's a "bug" and a "feature request" both :) Any quick workarounds that I can use to get the WAN tab to show up (and DHCP to work) on the WAN side? I will submit the feature request shortly.

[pfSense Support] DHCP Server Issues
Two things I've noticed in pfSense 1.2 release: 1. The subnet mask in the scope settings for DHCP keeps reverting back to "32". At one point, the DHCP server would not start until I went through all of my DHCP scopes (3 interfaces) and reset the subnet masks appropriately. It seems to stick in the config file, but the GUI is not picking the setting back up out of the config-so if someone just goes to say, change the DNS server field and hits save, all of a sudden your mask gets changed to a /32. 2. I enabled OLSR (but did not bind it to any of the interfaces because I don't actually *need* OLSR) because I need a DHCP Server on my WAN interface. I noticed in the php code for the DHCP pages that enabling OLSR would "turn on" DHCP for the WAN interface. However, DHCP is not binding to the WAN interface according to the DHCP log-it is only binding to my OPT1 and OPT2 interfaces. (There are 4 interfaces in the machine total). Bugs? Confirmation?

[pfSense Support] DHCP server issues
Two (I believe) duplicate tickets for this issue: 426 (opened by myself) and 430. Another one has a comment that seems related. e.g. a duplicate dns server line in the dhcpd.conf with no actual IP, causing dhcpd to abort due to a syntax error. I can manually fix the /var/etc/dhcpd.conf file but any reboot or changing of dns forwarder and/or dhcpd on the webGUI will re-corrupt the config file (I had to restart dhcpd manually.) - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
