Hmm, odd. It worked fine before though? Anything vge related in the system or boot logs? Steve

@Nightfrost: –UPDATE-- So, after some worsening packet loss, and longer downtime periods, I decided to contact Verizon.  They are blaming poor cable installations between the ONT and my router.  I've already re-terminated one end, but I'm not too convinced that the chord would causes such an issue.  If the chord was damaged, i'm pretty sure I'd be experiencing other issues.  Also, I decided to pick up an Intel NIC to replace the PoS Realtek one. Have you tried temporarily replacing the pfsense router with the old verzion router and seeing of you still have latency problems?  Could be useful as a way to rule out ISP/ONT/cabling issues.

I'm faulty as you  :P

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOT finally got it! So I must have had a typo the first go around. Here was the solution: /etc/rc.conf_mount_rw    # Set file system temporarily to read write setenv "TMPDIR" "/root"    # Set the environment variable so pkg_add uses a location with enough space setenv "PKG_TMPDIR" "/root"    # Set the environment variable so pkg_add uses a location with enough space pkg_add -r -v ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-8.3-release/Latest/openjdk7.tbz    # Fetch openjdk7 rehash    # Updates executables available in path java -version    # Tests whether JAVA is working Thank you all for your help

The gateway address seems to be a private IP, is it conflicting with the LAN subnet? Steve

No that there is anything much to see/change, but the settings for the monitor types are on the Monitor tab in the Load Balancer settings. It sends a ping once per second, I don't believe there is a way to tweak that.

It's expected. The older version is used by some base OS components, but it does contain patches to correct the vulnerabilities.

Yes I am. I found the problem. I had an OpenVPN server configured for incoming traffic and ended up with equal cost routes for the same subnet via each tunnel! You live and learn…. Thanks

Switch off your modem for a while then try again. See here

This has been resolved. Squid cache was corrupting the downloads and it was coming from Windows Updates. Setup WSUS server to correct this, little annoying how it can't tell you what the source IP address is.  :(

You could, just as an example, put your NAS or media server on a separate VLAN and then bring that into the ESXi box. Then you can add that VLAN as a separate inerface in pfSense and filter traffic to/from it. You can probably have WIFI traffic assigned to a VLAN in DD-WRT and filter/route that separately in pfSense. Many combinations are possible.  ;) Steve

^Exactly. No need for three routers unless you have some other physical restriction we don't know about. Steve

@lbm_: @G.D.: Do you see the correct [EAP] authentication method advertised with the SSID, when you scan the WiFi band? How can I check this? As I remember it, I cannot see these details from the WLAN clients? Any kind of half-good WiFi scanner should be able to display that. I use the free WiFi Analyzer by Kevin Yuan, for example. I am glad you got the issue solved.

@pbxman123: How is pfSense with USB to serial adapter support, specifically with the FTDI chipset, can you or anyone comment?  Again the feedback is much appreciated.  Thanks. They work OK for me whenever I need them, but that's not very often.  Check out the FreeBSD supported hardware list (http://www.freebsd.org/releases/10.0R/hardware.html) and the uftdi(4) driver in particular (http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=uftdi&sektion=4&manpath=FreeBSD+8.3-RELEASE)

It's good ? I will tire .

Awesome!  Thanks guys. Rick

Thanks! I hope others have experience regarding this.

Yep, I agree something looks very wrong here. What sort of DDoS attack do you think is happening here? Most of the traffic is coming from your server, if anything ddos related is happening it's your server doing the attacking. Why so many ports open? Steve

I believe so, it's done via boot0cfg From boot0cfg(8): -t ticks             Set the timeout value to ticks.  (There are approximately 18.2             ticks per second.)
