Title: 26.4_14 dhclient ip adres not detected by rc.newwanip on WAN interface
Post by: jeroenm on May 21, 2026, 03:51:55 PM
Yesterday, after a power failure, iptv stopped working. After investigation IGMP Proxy wouldn't startup and in interfaces/overview the interface doesn't have an ip adres.

Checking the log files shows that the interface actually gets an ip adres via dhcp, but that this ip adres is not detected by rc.newwanip and therefor probably not active on the interface. When setting this ip adres temporary static on the interface, everything starts working again. Anybody have an idea how to proceed from here?

Reason TIMEOUT + FAIL is pretty fatal. I'm not sure why it would be failing, but it might be out of your immediate control. The information given in between (like a valid IP address) is bogus.


Cheers,

I don't know how your IPTV setup looks like, but if possible please consider setting it up like this : https://forum.opnsense.org/index.php?topic=51192.msg262139#msg262139

Reason I am mentioning this : I am a big fan of moving IPTV away from the Router and "Offloading it" to a seperate device :)
