Re: [pfSense Support] No IP over DHCP
I find it easier to make a loop back jack, inside a single rj45 plug, connect pins 1 and 3, 2 and 6... crimp. Instant loop back plug, just be careful plugging it into switches, as it can magnify broadcast traffic and take down unmanaged switches.

RE: [pfSense Support] No IP over DHCP
Not sure what your environment is, but if you need to make the LAN interface seem up but don't actually need to plug anything into the port, an easy way of doing that is with a loopback cable. http://www.nutt.net/2004/11/20/diy-ethernet-loopback-cable/ Best Regards Nathan Eisenberg Sr. Systems Administrator Atlas Networks, LLC supp...@atlasnetworks.us http://support.atlasnetworks.us/portal -Original Message- From: Michael Schmitt [mailto:stiff...@linuxnoob.net] Sent: Saturday, April 25, 2009 11:26 AM To: support@pfsense.com Subject: Re: [pfSense Support] No IP over DHCP Scott Ullrich schrieb: > On Fri, Apr 24, 2009 at 5:27 PM, Michael Schmitt > wrote: >> Hello List, >> >> I try the new 1.2.3-RC1-Embedded release on an ALix board. >> >> WAN --> sis0, dhcp >> LAN --> sis1, 10.0.0.1/24 >> WLAN --> ath0 bridged with LAN (atheros 5212 chipset) >> >> dhcp-server is enabled for LAN. >> >> the first firewallrules on the LAN and WLAN interfaces are >> UDP * 67-68*67/68 >> >> The porblem: >> >> After I seted up the system and tried to get an wireless IP over dhcp it >> worked fine the first couple of times, but after a while it stops >> working and i can?t get an ip. >> >> Thanks a lot for any ideas. > > Make sure something is plugged into the LAN port if nothing is > currently plugged in there. > > Scott > > - > To unsubscribe, e-mail: support-unsubscr...@pfsense.com > For additional commands, e-mail: support-h...@pfsense.com > > Commercial support available - https://portal.pfsense.org > Hello Scott, thanks for that!

Make sure something is plugged into the LAN port if nothing is currently plugged in there.
