Recently Comcast made some changes over here on the East coast and since then my Internet connection just stops working. I am at about once every other day.
Here is my current config for the Outside interface of my 2800 series router.
interface GigabitEthernet0/0
description Connected to the Internet
ip dhcp client client-id Loopback0
ip address dhcp
ip access-group 102 in
no ip redirects
no ip unreachables
no ip proxy-arp
ip nat outside
ip inspect SDM_LOW out
ip virtual-reassembly
ip route-cache flow
duplex auto
speed auto
no cdp enable
My static route is now set to this
ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 GigabitEthernet0/0 dhcp
What I do to fix the issue is shut/no shut on the gig0/0 port.
Is this the correct setup for a DHCP style internet connection? I know that you want to set the static route to the next hop address IF you can, but for me that address could change, so I believe the DHCP command takes care of any arp issues that I would have with the static route using my outside interface.
