Good news: Scott found the error and will fix it in the next snapshot AFTER 2-8-06

We use clog, thats the way its supposed to be.

No.

This is a firewall, not a SAMBA platform.

I say leave it out.  I'm a bit of a "llama" as you put it.  But I have managed to learn from not knowing pretty much anything to knowing how to setup a network with pfsense doing my routing, with port forwarding/NAT etc, and I know what almost all the options do etc.

Just by reading everything and asking the odd question,  infact I chose pfense because it looked like the easiest one ( I think I was a little wrong on that call though :) ).

I remember one of my questions being, "why is my red/WAN nic running in halfduplex mode, is it supposed to be?".  I guarentee if that option were avialable I would have definatly tried it before asking any questions or reading up on what it did, until I broke something.

But in saying that,  all it needs is a little warning beside it such as.  "Leave this to auto unless you really know what you are doing, as it may lead to a duplex mismatch which will degrade performance".

I rather meant that it could be used for status purposes, for example…

WAN droppep,
any errors,
New IP,
...

Ooh forgot to mention. 83.227.180.253 is my wan (static) ip adress.

Could you add some kind of ascii art to describe your setup? would be helpful. I don't understand it yet.

I have no idea.  I haven't worked on it in a bit.

Use the force^Wcode, luke.

It's back in the latest snapshots.

I's not really ignored, it's just not happening to anybody else (at least I haven't heared about it). I'm not sure if this is somehow pure-ftpd related (that it borked something or whatever). I would suggest reinstalling the latest testsnapshot from scratch and test again without having pure-ftpd installed. We are focusing at coredevelopement atm and pure-ftpd might just be broken and mess up something. This is a package not many people use and as Scott pointed out (and the description says as well), it's not meant to be installed at a machine running as firewall anyway.

Done. Together with the themerework I added:

RSS-Feed Header information RSS-Link (top right of page) Link back to pfSense.org fixed some more black textcolors

(btw, smf should rework their themesystem. You not really can call that themeing)

One way to tell if this is happening is that you will loose you're ethernet sync light every second or so.  Its pretty noticable if there is a problem.

That SIS chipset bug has caused way more damage than good.  Really sucks when there are bugs in hardware chips.

None as of now, I haven't spent any time on this, but i know Progie and a few others are working on EVDO (means that ppp will be an option). Once that is done it should be a simple matter to add plip and kernel drivers to get modems and other serial communication to work.

ok
Thank you!

That is correct.  Its been commited to RELENG_1 but there isnt a menu option for it.

Update to http://www.pfsense.com/~sullrich/1.0-BETA1-TESTING-SNAPSHOT-1-29-06/ then surf to

http://192.168.1.1/diag_logs_filter_dynamic.php

^^ Be sure to put you're correct HTTP/S and IP.

Ok! perfect!

Thanks!!!

@Plecto:

Im not asking for a network class, Im just wondering what abilities PFsense has to my advandidge? And if someone could explain that in "english" I would be very glad.

We have no idea what features you want and our feature list is rather long.  If you can't understand what's written in plain english at http://pfsense.com/index.php?id=26 then I'm not sure how much more detail anyone else can go into.

Here's the simplest possible thing I can tell you (and if it sounds familiar, it should, it's on the front page of the pfsense website)

–Bill
pfSense is a open source firewall derived from the m0n0wall operating system platform with radically different goals such as using Packet Filter, FreeBSD 6.X (or DragonFly BSD when ALTQ and CARP is finished) ALTQ for excellent packet queueing and finally an integrated package management system for extending the environment with new features.

what type of WAN connection do you have?

can you private message me with your status.php?

@sullrich:

Yeah, its a known issue.  We're working on it.

Ok…
Let me know if you need any test...

Broken record!  SEARCH!

@billm:

Set up the wireless in pfsense as a bridge then?

–Bill

what do you mean?? make a bridge with each wireless interface to what?? to wan interface?
Meanwhile I've noticed that is some problem with bridge's  in pfs <http: cvstrac.pfsense.com="" tktview?tn="693">:-\

I'm confused… I'd like to use pfs as AP couse it has very usefull features....
Anyway I'm going to make some tests with bridging....</http:>

Is this an upgraded system or a fresh install? I haven't seen this on a fresh installed system but I have seen this once on an upgraded system already. If it is upgraded, can you please reinstall it? I would suggest using one of the images from  http://pfsense.com/~sullrich/BETA2-BUGVALIDATION3/ .

Get a spinrite bootdisk and check your dirve when this happens. My bet is that your HD/CF is borked.
Spinrite fixes tons of issues and is well worth the money imo.

Thanks for all suggestions guys.
I solved it. Off course, I know about the possibilities of typing the IP address, but that's not an option for wife and kids.
Anyway, I solved it by editing the hosts file on each machine. It still wouldn't work untill I disabled the damned WinXP firewall on each machine. I wonder why M$ call windows user-friendly, aargh.
I feel great, outwhitting M$ for a change  ;D

@wjoyce:

What are the issues?  I would like to help out on this front if I am capable.

Well…1.0 isn't released yet.  Can't release 1.1 until that's out.  Then comes some amount of time for development of new features (this would be one of them - albeit developed already).  Then people test, eventually we get to beta, then release.

Three ways to help.  Write code, test and give good bug reports, donate something to help get the devs stuff they want/need for other pfsense work.

--Bill

Guess you're the only one to use this feature.  I can attest that none of the devs do.

–Bill

My 4801 locks up from time to time also.  It's got a wireless board in it too.  From what I've seen the 4801's ship with supplies barely big enough to handle the unit itself assuming the supply is 100% in spec.  I've seen low voltage supplies lock up 4801's with great consistency before.  This is probably power related.

–Bill

@sullrich:

When its ready.

LOL ;D

http://www.networksorcery.com/enp/protocol/igmp.htm

running the full install version here even without swap for month now and haven't seen issues due to that either.

block bogon is already unchecked, block private is checked.

can you clarify which you meant please?

Yeah, that's where I'm confused. sullrich seemed like he was implying that 'net.inet.icmp.icmplim: 200' was the reason this was happening. But it sounds like you're saying that this is happening because of something in pfsense. The thing I was mainly curious about is the reason 25152 is the limit, as opposed to another number.
