 And nothing anymore in the logs. Do you thing the  set bundle no
 noretry helped here, or is it just luck?

Without question, based on what I found when I initially recommended
that. That's a setting needed in newer mpd versions that wasn't
previously required, which is why it wasn't there already.

It'll be in 1.2.1 and all future releases.

yes, I did that then, and now it's stable again since about 3 days
(but this happened also before). Let's see if remains like that a bit
longer :)

Last PPPoE related messages in the logs were:
May 15 10:15:59 gateway mpd: [pppoe] PPPoE connection successful

Based on what I found when I provided that, I think it will fix your
issue. Please let us know if it's still working in a few days, and
we'll get that fix in 1.2.1 and all future releases.

That's far more power than you need, unless you need to push 100+ Mb.
This isn't indicative of overloaded hardware, I think the above will
fix your problem.

Replacing/Resetting the VDSL Router (bridge) didn't helped.

I'll check again with the ISP, but I guess the problem is local. The
question is just where to search for it :)

Because since about one week, I replaced and made a full reset on the

So it seems it wasn't a pfsense issue after all... :)  But at least I
know how to debug this kind of problems the next time, merci!

Have you tried successively issuing the commands 

ifconfig em0 down
ifconfig em0 up

from http://[LANIP]/exec.php where em0 is your WAN interface

Give that a try and see what happens and do let us know please.

Kind regards

According to the VDSL router, link was always up, so it should be an

BAD MTU

tester wrote:

Hello,
sometimes PPPoE gets disconnected on WAN port of my
pfSense's box and I have to click several times (at
least twenty ones) on Reconnect button in
'webConfigurator-Status-Interfaces-WAN'. I want ask
you two things are still unclear to me:

1- does pfSense automatically attempt to reconnect
PPPoE itself? If not, is it possible to add
auto-reconnect mechanism by using for example a script
or tuning a config file? Because it is annoying when
Internet connection drops and you are hundreds miles
away and nobody can restart pfSense.

2- where I can read why PPPoE got disconnected? I saw
no entry about it in System Logs and I'm curious to
understand if there is a problem with my box or it is
the ISP which renew my dynamic IP.

I'm using 1.2RC4 on embedded platform. I didn't update
to the final 1.2 yet, but if something related to
PPPoE has been changed, tell me and I update the box,
otherwise I'd prefer not to touch it at the moment.

Thank you!
