using bellsouth.net as an isp gave me the same problems. make a cron
that pings 3 outside ip's and if all 3 are down, then run dhclient. i
ran this on an hourly basis.

Subject: DHCP problem?


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.
