@luke240778: Yeah, was just thinking that i would do that.  How come on the easy install it would have created the partition as only 4gb?  shouldnt it use the entire disk available? It wouldn't unless the entire disk was only 4 GB (sure it's 100 GB? maybe misrepresented to the OS, check the system log after boot to see what the hypervisor tells the VM it has available) or it was manually partitioned.

Interesting story! But anyway - as i understand, the problem is in the DHCP Server of Windows which is normally not capable to deploy the DomainSearchList … ... but I'm using DHCP Server of pfSense with Windows Clients! My Problem is, that if i use the DomainSearchList option inside the DHCP config, the client doesn't inherit the settings made there.

Did you defined any gateway as default on system -> routing? Enabling this, you can see that no interfaces requires a gateway(of course you can set if you want).

I could not see any info on how to get pppoa wan pppoe client working in the manual, also could not see any other instances of it working on the net. However  :) I seem to be up and running using the pptp relay! Wan is getting public ip and internet is accessible. tfg.

@wallabybob: The Windows update was still downloading on the first box when you started it on the second box? no, it was the next day… the updates took several hours to download, and the box was rebooted in between (we cannot leave it on overnight, as the centre is closed, and power is so erratic) I'm out on my bike now in town, but will post up the output from the box when I get back up the mountain :)

From your description it sounds exactly like the situation described in the docs. pfSense 2 (you are using 2 right?) is NATing traffic across the PTP link, that is the default behaviour when using an interface with a gateway so all traffic appears to be coming from one IP. You setup the first call and that uses source port 5060 which works fine. You try to make a second call and pfSense re-writes the source port as 5060 is already in use. Your VoIP equipment can't deal with re-written source ports. Two solutions as I see it. 1. Use the siproxd package as suggested in the docs. 2. Disable NAT across the link and just route traffic. See: http://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/How_can_I_completely_disable_NAT%3F Obviously you would still require rules to keep NAT on your WAN interface. Disabling NAT may also help other stuff that doesn't like NAT and it's quick and easy to do. That's what I'd try first but I'm coming from almost no VoIP experience!  ;) Steve

I've tried from different machines from LAN to DMZ. (FTP-client of Win XP, Vista and 7) On the server I've tried ProFTPD and vsFTPd. LAN-LAN and DMZ-DMZ FTP-connections all goes well. I did a packet-capture on the DMZ (OPTx) interface of the pfSense-box. Just tested on the LAN-interface of the pfSense-box… The communication on the LAN-interface looks also comming thru 09:09:56.737775 IP 192.168.2.12.52820 > 192.168.3.13.21: tcp 27 09:09:56.738208 IP 192.168.3.13.21 > 192.168.2.12.52820: tcp 0 09:09:56.738441 IP 192.168.3.13.21 > 192.168.2.12.52820: tcp 51 09:09:56.746785 IP 192.168.2.12.52820 > 192.168.3.13.21: tcp 6 09:09:56.747982 IP 192.168.3.13.20 > 192.168.2.12.52938: tcp 0 09:09:56.786254 IP 192.168.3.13.21 > 192.168.2.12.52820: tcp 0 On the client… 331 Please specify the password.

follow this topic with same issue http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,45520.0.html

@greybeard: Q1.Is there any gui option to select the auth type? Q2. An I unique or does anyone else require this? 1. No 2. I don't want it at present BUT it would be useful if I ever want to use Virgin mobile broadband as a backup to ADSL. Ubuntu since at least 10.04 has allowed selection of PPP authentication options

SOLVED (kind of)… It would appear I still had some pfBlocker configuration settings in my backed up xml file. Those were causing the issue. I still see the multicast message so as suspected its unrelated. Manual removal of all pfBlocker references in the xml and restore seems to have worked.

Then you need the rule I mentioned by negate the policy routing for the modem IPs, you're forcing traffic to the modems out the gateway group.

Check if configured dns is working on your pfsense and if you can browse files.pfsense.org.
