Anything in the firewall log when this happens? You could be getting some asymmetric routing going on.

Thanks for answer. I set up additionaly outbond NAT on link 192.168.50.0/24: on router 1: outbound nat from 192.168.1.0/24 to any (via interface assigned to 192.168.50.0/24 network - OPT) NAT'ed to 192.168.50.1 on router 2: outbound nat from 192.168.1.0/24 to any (via interface assigned to 192.168.50.0/24 network - OPT) NAT'ed to 192.168.50.2 And it doesn't work with NAT 1:1… I can connect to 90.90.90.200:25 from LAN2 only if additionaly to NAT 1:1 i configure port forward (Firewall->NAT->port forward) to 90.90.90.200:25 (using Virutal IP) Any idea how to make NAT 1:1 work in this scenario?

There's a lot of useful information in the documentation wiki including: http://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/InstallationGuide That's pretty basic but there are guides for most other stuff. Steve

A lot of this stuff is beyond my experience. I'm aware it can be done but I've never tried it. I assume you are using this on your home network and not some public hotspot!  :P I'd be interested in your experiences if only to get some idea of how straight forward it is. Here's some info on the packet capture facilities in pfSense. Steve

1.2.3 And it is a VIA C7 mini ITX box http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813153062

On my old 1850 I also had problems with the CD drive (And even had problems with my external CD drive) - Ended up installing everything from a USB HDD. Their latest server have fixed the issue now it seem though.

@taraq: i am using pfsense 1.2.3 this part of the forum is for 2.0-RC

See http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,34314.msg177932.html#msg177932 for how I configured a bridge on pfSense 2.0 between a wired LAN and a wireless LAN.

To debug this: Create an allow any protocol from anything to anything on the interface. Can you ping the pfSense? Which IP are you connecting to?

Not easily. You can always push the logs off to another server though: http://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/Copying_Logs_to_a_Remote_Host_with_Syslog

Cacti works fine, just enable the SNMP service as jasonlitka suggested, and you can poll all kinds of info.

And now I'm sure: I [auto]upgraded pfsense from webconfig and restarted it, and all went fine.  ;D

Hi submicron First of all thanks a lot, sorry for the wrong version number. But is DNS forwarder capable of this ? I'd like to register my access points in DNS in order to be resolved  by a snmp system. The snmp system checks if the access points are all alive and sends a mail in case any of them is not. So it would be great if it would be like "accesspoint_lobbybar" instead of just the ip adress in the notification mail. Is this possible ? Thx thafener

There is no "bash" though I assume you really just mean mean "shell". On pfSense it defaults to tcsh/csh. Don't try to add users from the command line (and if you lookup how to do it on FreeBSD you'd see there are many ways to do it, especially the pw command). Just add them from the GUI. Also I wouldn't expect that user to stick around indefinitely, especially if you're using an embedded install. Perhaps if you explained what you are really trying to accomplish you might get some more constructive feedback.
