@jimp: So yes, it can work, but it's likely going to be slow (even far, FAR more so with Untangle) there, I fixed it.  ;) You can hack the sysctls to disable filtering entirely for if_bridge which will make it pretty quick, not nearly as quick as a switch though, you're going to be limited by the PCI bus using a standard PC. If you don't care about getting a lot of throughput between the hosts it won't matter.

Scratch that its just come back to life lol. Probably just a huge amount of lag on it to be honest, no wonder its on the Live CD at the moment, but the main core will have loaded into memory so not to worry. Will try that tip you suggested if the same error occurs when I try to write the configs to the hard drive, so happy its working again lol. Thanks for your help, Jeremy.

Fixed, I just decided to use static IP.  ;D

Sounds a lot like the expected symptoms of IPv6 'brokeness'  ::) Steve

snmp shouldn't hurt too much, especially if you're just grabbing a few stats off the box.

Freeradius appears not to be a working option. @jimp: I don't think anyone got around to finishing FreeRADIUS up to work on ALIX. It needs a fair amount of disk space in /var/ (a ram disk) to write its database and I think as it is it would be lost at reboot even if it did work. So it looks like freeradius is not a option. - Does anyone have any ideas for a simple solution to provide just a handfull of users a data quota ?  If not pfsene, a similar type app/distro.  Or even a comercial box.

@jimp: Did you read the message under the setting? The setting is gone because it is no longer needed; The directions you are following are outdated. Filtering happens on all bridge interfaces automatically now, so essentially the setting is checked all the time. The message was left there to avoid questions like this, it's fairly self-explanatory… Thanks!

1.2.3 is the current version of pfSense.  This is very likely a bug which was fixed.

Yes of course it has. It is "always on". Because if you shutdown correctly it will not power on again if power fails and then comes back… bec the electricity is not fully away cause of the UPS. greetz

Well, don't know much about the product/installation, just trying to make our FW admin "see the light" after having his mighty ASA cluster going havoc many times… Thanks a lot!

Looks like that error just means that packets were received out of order. Could be from a lossy WAN connection or some other kind of problem with the connection between where the client are server reside. The interrupted system call could be an issue with the router at the client site, but it's hard to say. Google shows lots of hits on that exact error that may be enlightening.

Incase someone asks why am I doing this and not <something else="">, it is because I am trying something and I finished it, only this last step remains, sending Access-Accept packet.</something>

Great program!  ;D Fascinating results. Takes a while though. Googles DNS no where near the quickest for me, however it's not surprising they seemed quicker to me as my ISPs DNS servers are returning hundreds of errors!  ::) Steve

OOh thanks I miss that point, it's very closed but I cannot see. Thank alot I will try. @SeventhSon: Couldn't you use Reauthentication every minute? Then you don't have to send anything, pfSense will check if the user still has access, otherwise disconnect the user.

Hmm, well it is hooked up to a UPS. I'll try it without the UPS. EDIT: same thing either way : /

Source can be found under the Development heading of the home page and more pointers can be found in the development sub-forum. Obviously you can make changes, you just need to ensure you comply with the licenses that come with it.

you can always install NRPE, then create your local check inside of the pfsense box, and get the data from Nagios using NRPE
