Thanks Kevin I think you might be on to something, because when I pluged the WAN cable from the pfSense box into the switch on the old router it got an IP right away.
I didn't manage to get an IP from my ISP even after restarting the DSL modem, or changing the MAC, so I just left the old router in front of the box letting it forward everything (DMZ). I would have tested more to see if I could get an IP from my ISP if it wasn't because, after 10 hours of working great, the pfSense box died completly on me, so now I have to start all over. It's a hardware problem not a pfSense problem :/ best regards Ulrik Kevin Wolf sagde: > I have cable, so this advice *might* not apply to you, but you can try > it anyway.
