I have cable, so this advice *might* not apply to you, but you can try
it anyway. Sometimes the modem won't sync up to a different device (MAC
address) unless you reboot it. So try rebooting the DSL modem first if
you haven't already. If that doesn't work, try cloning the MAC address
from the router to your WAN interface on the pfSense box.

I'm finally ready to go live with this box, replacing a really horrible router

has to be reset every now and then (daily).
I unplugged the old router and inserted the WAN cable from the DSL modem into
the
WAN interface on the pfSense box, I then checked the interfaces status page and
could se that the link was up and dhcp said up but the IP address was 0.0.0.0
and
netmask was 255.0.0.0. I tried to release it at renew a few times but without
result. I then tested it in the OPT1 interface with same result.
The WAN and OPT1 interfases are both setup to get an IP from DHCP, nothing else
changed.
I added a print screen of it here if my explanation is a little confusing :)

Do I need to setup anything except make sure the interface is setup as DHCP
like the
on old router?
Best regards
Ulrik
PS. I reinstalled the old router and it got the IP like it should.
PPS. I'm using pfSense version 0.92 on a 233MHz pentium with 64MB memory and a
2GB HDD.
PPPS. Apart from WAN and OPT1 I also have a LAN and WLAN interfase with static
IP.
