http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,11159.0.html You mean create dsnmasq configuration like above link? I use this configuration with 1.2.3RC2 as well. Now I don't need to change the startup process order. I did change the two inc files in "/etc/inc". "system.inc" to add Opendns to the dns nameservers in "/var/etc/resolv.conf" "pfsense-utils.inc" to point to "/var/etc/resolv.conf" (or else the dashboard will point to /etc/resolv.conf (symb.link to /var/etc/resolve.dnsmasq –> 127.0.0.1) ). function get_dns_servers() { $dns_servers = array(); $dns = `cat /var/etc/resolv.conf`;        /**** CHANGED to /var ****/ I need to do this each time I install a newer full update build of the pfsense 1.2.3RC2 release

Thank you both for the reply, I configured it now manually as a different radius client, this also works for now. I'll wait for the stable 2.0 release and see then if I can get it to communicate with the controller. It's a Ruckus 7942. It detects the controller normally by broadcast (on the same subnet) A plan B is the 43 option (this is undocumented, their support staff sent me information about it) It supports DNS, but you need to buy the flexmaster software, but that would be a substitute for the controller, so a waste of money, and you'd need a server running for it. greets Mike

Ask Paetec to config their Adtran router to bridge mode.  Then set the WAN to a static public IP address that they wil provide.

On my home LAN I have every system assigned an IP address by DHCP on pfSense. A number of my systems are assigned the same address every time by tieing their MAC address to an IP address in the DHCP Server configuration. You haven't said why you want to have the Linux systems with static addresses so I can't address that. On those systems with static IP address (as seen by the system) you need to specify by the gateway and the DNS server. If you use DHCP this stuff can be changed in one place (the DHCP server) rather than on multiple systems.

System > General Setup Uncheck "Allow DNS server list to be overridden by DHCP/PPP on WAN" As long as that is checked, the DNS servers received by PPPoE will be used by the router. If that is unchecked, then the values you type in will be used.

pfSense is a firewall. There can sometimes be good reason to place tight restrictions on traffic passed. Depending on your environment, "work" might mean more than "pass any traffic", it might mean "block certain types of unexpected traffic".

Hi, thanks for replying. Since then I discovered that the new 10.6 version of Mac OS X has the exact same behaviour I did try to set up the network settings manually but unfortunately the issue still exists. I found this thread explaining that the base of the problem is the ".local" tld used in our LAN. It is used by the "Bonjour" protocol. I am going to change my LAN tld into something not used by some fancy protocol (like ".lan" or something) I keep in touch.

So is there a way to hand code this in the config?

Well i wouldn't consider a forum as a form of documentation… @deanflyer: If there is something you think needs documentation: http://doc.pfsense.com You can apply for an account on the wiki by sending an email to one of the devs, or send the content of what you wanted added to someone with an account. (devs or me).

I have tried it with both DHCP reply on and off.  I get the same issues. The WAN is a static IP Address.  Inside the subnet but outside the DHCP Scope. DHCP is obtained from the DHCP server on the WAN, not the pfsense box.

My friends. cmb u are right, the results are the same, i was doing the wrong test. The results are the same using dig. Thanks cmb for clarifying this, I appreciated  :)

The VPN randomly started working.  I'm not gong to ask any questions and just go along with it  ;D Thanks again for all your help.

This problem was solved, thanks to a bounty I paid (well worth the money).  See:  http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,18378.msg94747.html#msg94747

If you can email me a backup of your config (cmb at pfsense dot org) and reference this forum thread, I'll see if I can replicate that using your config.
