@marcelloc: @luke240778: Can you possibly tell me first how i can using vi edit the config.xml so i cna change the WAN and LAN ips on the box before i do the upgrade via shell? use viconfig to edit config.xml on console/ssh. Just in case, create a backup file before edit: cp /conf/config.xml /root/backup_before_upgrade.xml Thanks for your reply, but that part i have already done, but it still has no network connectivity at all, can't ping anything.. so i am still stuck at how to get hte upgrade image onto it to try the upgrade

Each interface filter set ends with an explicit Block & Log rule, in my case. Apparently the tftp-proxy anchor is inserted after the user rules in the interface filter set. Thus, the block & log rule is hit prior to the pass rule for the tftp-proxy traffic. Eliminating the block and & log rule allows the traffic to pass the tftp-proxy rules but at the expense of not being able to log the blocked traffic on the interface. I'm not real comfortable with this and will look for some clarification from the developers to understand if this is by design or if its appropriate to issue a bug report.

Filtering appears to have been added in V0.7, the most recent version. Steve

@databeestje: Can you submit patches? No. Collaborative software development always seemed like rocket-science to me. If someone else figures out how to integrate this into mainline, it would be nice.

No. /var is a RAM disk.

Feedback. I use vmware serial + named pipe proxy to test pfsense serial support. The problem I met is that telnet client in windows automatically send newline character resulting `read' command feeds nothing, so is the Putty client. Finally by turning off 'return key send telnet new line instead of ^M' option in putty, it solved my problem. Hope this will help others meet the same problem.

Thx for the suggestions, but I will not do something that will compromise even a little bit of security.  We're here to make rock-solid firewalls, and that's all that matters  ;) I swapped the 250GB for an 80GB I had lying around.  So I don't care about the extra space anymore.  I can always hook up the 250GB in my server comp and access it from there…much safer ;)

Thank you all. I will post a diagram soon. I have only VLANs in this NIC (tagged traffic) Best Kostas

Thank you stephenw10 PHP shell is very powerfull!

thanks

Thanks for the quick reply. :) it helps me.

You need 3 things to make this work. Route to each different subnet. Rule in LAN to allow such traffic. Outbound NAT rule to allow the traffic to return. I think if you get those setup, you won't have any problems. I think I wouls also turn on the advanced option to bypass firewall rule if the traffic is on the same interface.

Thank you very much jimp  :)

I have personally found BT Infinity to be wildly varying in throughput. I have the old 40/2 service but get anywhere from the expected 36-37Mbps at 2 AM to 15-16Mbps at 6 PM. Try it late at night. Try using the Windows PPPoE client directly (or whatever OS you are running). Steve

If I can get this working with a password I will post how to do this, as username only is not good security.

More information would be helpful. What name server should the LAN system be using? Is the LAN system correctly correctly for that (static IP) or getting the correct name server IP address from its DHCP server? Is the DHCP server configured to supply the correct address? Perhaps your firewall is blocking all access to the name server. Perhaps the firewall is blocking DNS access to the name server.

Some parts of the developer rules page on the dev wiki may be useful to you.  The site for it seems to be down at the moment, so here's a cached version: http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:xNnNncCyXkUJ:devwiki.pfsense.org/DeveloperRules There are also other pages that may be useful.  Cached version of the main page: http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:CCzm5_BWozEJ:devwiki.pfsense.org/
