I have a very strange problem here. Looking in the forum I see other people had this same problem, but quite a few years ago. I tried the suggestions anyhow, and they didn’t work.
The problem is ZS will not pickup a DHCP address from my WAN. The service is a fixed wireless where the router is integrated with the outdoor antenna.
When I connect ZS to the external antenna/router the dhcp request times out. However when I hook the Netgear router back up it gets the dhcp address right away.
Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions?
Well, I finally found my problem. I am running ZeroShell in a VM on an ESXi 6.7.0 server, and using USB Ethernet controllers. ESXi 6.7.0 server does not support USB Ethernet controllers, however there was recently a “USB Network Native Driver for ESXi” released as a Technical Preview. The only problem with the USB Network Driver technical preview is it only does 1000Mbs/Full duplex. The fixed wireless router is at least four years old and appears to only support 100 Mbs/Full duplex. Once I put a little five port switch between the ESXi 6.7.0 server and the fixed wireless router, ZeroShell was able to get a DHCP address.
