Running generic-pc 1.235
After about a week, the m0n0wall does not renew DHCP leases. We rebooted last Friday afternoon, and this Friday afternoon we got a lot of phone calls. What is causing these leases to not get renewed?

Let me backup. Static IPs get through and DHCP reserved MACs get through. The problem may not be with lease renewal, but rather with leased clients not being able to get through the firewall. The clients have IPs, it's not like they can't renew, the problem, more accurately stated is that they can't pass through the m0n0wall.

Also, anyway I can turn up the logs to get a better idea of what's going on?

Would bumping up to 1.3 help? Is that a better DHCP/Firewall setup?

I see this in my logs on 1.3, not sure if it's related:

Makes me thing the DHCP server is restarting continually. But it's still serving leases, it looks like.

can you check the raw dhcpd.log file ?

in /exec.php execute

cat /var/log/dhcpd.log


you are possible out of space for the leases file
