@Spoonman2002: hm, that did not work either…..  ??? No idea why my PFSense box cannot access internet. Hello my English is not good, helped me a translator, well, let's see you. tested Bone default your modem to bridge mode, which utilis ip range your modem in normal mode. for example mine is 192.168.1.x/24. now, have tried without DHCP, bone that is static, just in case try it on static, the pfSense do not assign an address, now you have pinged your modem router, for example to get my modem router is 192.168.1.1 and from the pfSense console will do ping -c 100 192.168.1.1, if the modem router responds, it means that your connection is fine, and now if that does not go to the pc is because something is wrong and in the configuration IP on the LAN. Good luck I hope your observation.

Put it in bridge mode….:) Your WAN on the wireless AP connects to the LAN side of pfsense....

Yep. I didn't need to use VLAN7 and needed to deactivate DHCP on my speedport. No it is working…

Thanks - sorry so obvious! I guess 0/0 and 0/0 with an uptime of 2 days, 18:31 is a good thing :D

Without a lot more information, it is impossible to tell what you might be encountering. To get back in, try some of the suggestions here: http://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/I_locked_myself_out_of_the_WebGUI,_help!

@GuzmanDiaz18: ¿But this can have some solution? Yes but the solution depends on the cause. My previous questions were to help me better understand your configuration and so be better placed to suggest an appropriate solution.

I have been running pfSense 1.2.3 for some time and could not be happier with the product. I recently built a second box with a fresh install of pfSense 1.2.3, in order to play with Freeswitch. Unfortunately, I have run into the same dilemma that sdudley experienced, "When starting the vhosts service it indicates at the top of the window that the service has been started however, viewing the LigHTTPD web server service status shows it to be stopped." I have removed both packages (Freeswitch and vHosts) and reinstalled them, but no change. I have completely populated the vHosts settings tab, but still no joy. Thanks in advance for any suggestions! Installed packages: Freeswitch vHosts

Mostly, you can do what you want with pfSense. *) Splitting the bandwidth:  traffic shaper *) Monitoring content: yes, packages available to do that *) Who's accessing what tied to Active Directory:  I don't think so. *) Wifi via MAC address: MAC addresses are trivial to change, so access via MAC address is about as effective a security strategy as posting signs saying "Please don't hack me" *) Other Wifi stuff: Yeah, you can do Radius authentication to an Active Directory *) PCAnywhere from out in the Internet - yes, you'll probably want to look at OpenVPN For more details, RTFM.  (Or spend some time reading the individual tech forums (EG: OpenVPN, Traffic Shaper, etc) Good luck.

nice one  ;D

|      PPoE pfSense DHCP  Snort        | –----------------------------------       LAN        OPT1        OPT2         |            |            |         |          VOIP          |     switch                    switch        |    |                    |      |   PCs WiFi              WWW  DNS 1. pfSense's DHCP server uses clients MACs for assigning IPs (usefull for wake up on lan also) 2. All servers and clients are using OPT2 DNS (bind9's views) 3. Snort uses different rules for each interface. Just been following the logic to join services with similar security risks on the same interface. Possibilities are unlimited ... but common sense will give you the right setup.

This sounds like a timeout of the DNS query. I would configure the DNS on the pfSense fix to 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220 and uncheck the "allow DNS to be overwritten by DHCP on the WAN". Then set your clients all to use pfSense as DNS server.

Thank Perry for the answer. If I add a line to the OLSR PHP file, it will chang de config.xml file for something like this. <olsrd><config><enable>on</enable> <enablelqe>2</enablelqe> <iface_array>lan,wan</iface_array> <enablehttpinfo>on</enablehttpinfo> <port>8117</port> <allowedhttpinfohost><allowedhttpinfosubnet><enabledyngw><enableannounce><announcedynamicroute>10.5.200.232/29</announcedynamicroute> <ping><polling><enabledsecure><securekey><linkqualitymult>192.168.10.7 0.10</linkqualitymult></securekey></enabledsecure></polling></ping></enableannounce></enabledyngw></allowedhttpinfosubnet></allowedhttpinfohost></config></olsrd> but when PF will creat is oslr.conf file from this file, it will not know what to do with the <linkqualitymult>option and it will probabely result in a error. I would also need to add somewhere that the option <linkqualitymult>mean that it have to write LinkQualMult = "text box" and also cheak if the text box have a valid IP adresse and multiplicator. Somebody know how I can add this or show me a howto of how script are built from config.xml ?</linkqualitymult></linkqualitymult>

This is, admittedly, an easier approach but its not without its downsides.  Bridge filtering isn't supported by CARP so if you need to do a CARP firewall cluster because you have an HA requirement for your network, then bridging isn't going to work.  Its really about your needs, pick the solution that fits yours best.
