Good Afternoon All,
I have a satellite internet connection, both in and out, attached to a pfSense 1.2RC3 box. Lately I have been having a connection issue keeping my connection stable on the stat elite for some unknown reason. When the connection gets dropped it usually comes back up a short time later but it seems that the pfSense box does not always either reacquire an IP or sometimes it does not drop the existing one and I have to do a DHCP renew. I can do this but I do have a need to access this box from the outside world at times and if I am not on site I can not do the DHCP renew. Does anyone have any suggestions for a scheduled job to check and see if it can ping something on the outside and if not cause a DHCP renew to happen automatically or any suggestions for that matter. I am more of a Windows kind of guy so I am kind of lost in the FreeBSD. Any assistance is muchly appreciated. Thanks, Ron
