[-- Attachment #1 --] Hi everyone, A weeks ago I installed the newest release (4.1 I think) and have had some wierd happenings since. I have a box with 2 nics. One for internal traffic and one for the external. The external nic is connected to a cable modem which has a dynamically assigned IP (nothing special, dhclient seems to work fine), and the internal is a static (192.168.100.XXX). I have the setup working, but it seems that every so often I have to "reset" the external nic by either A. running dhclient on the device again (ed0) or B. doing an ifconfig ed0 IP_ADDR. either one gets be up and running for an unknown amount of time. sometimes it will be 5 seconds, sometimes days. This is becoming very frustrating. I have tried natd with the -dynamic flag, and I did upgrade to the latest stable and the problem still persists. Any help on this is appreciated. Thanks in advance.
