    hello,

    Speedtest and Pfsense are the same result, if you are ~50mb line in pfsense you see ~50mb . In my reader is just explain in ~6mb/s for~50mb.

    I check all my hardware. Is difficult in my house.

    i have  many switch, 4 switch,  4 room, on poweline networking, snort…. and many. I like this staff.

    My hp like Procure is very "poor man", "gros feignant" in french.

    he is not able, if we do not like to stress the newsgroup, mounted to 50mb and as it is the last link, everything is so slow. Tomorrow I'll buy a real switch. And I tell you the result.

    With a PC directly to the modem or the router I have 50mb / s but through the switch I only ~ 12mb.

    Sorry for everything and thanks for your help.

    I had another one in the living room and I exchange switches. And it's better.

    PS: I do not understand why when I stress it reaches 50mb / s :)](http://www.speedtest.net/my-result/2980642015)

    My 2 cents….

    Download an ISO Image of Hiren's BootCD, Version 9 or older ( this is more simple to use ) and burn to CD

    Check the BIOS as mentioned in the posts above. Make CD/DVD boot BEFORE HDD or use F12 to select boot options and choose boot from CD/DVD.

    Reboot into the Hiren's Disc, on screen one, hit enter on the MORE line in options, on the SECOND DOS screen select MBR Tools, on the next screen select option 1
    MBR Work 1.04b. Click enter on all options CHANGE NOTHING including swap files and it will open.

    When it opens, select option 3, then enter then Y then enter, then select option 4 click Y and then enter, then select option 5 click Y then select number 2 click Y then enter. This makes the HDD read as NEW (RAW) and any data that was once on it is unrecoverable. This method is like a level 9 DOD wipe, and any previous data on it is gone forever, i have tried this many times, and NO DATA RECOVERY SOFTWARE available has ever found anything on any HDD i have wiped this way, so you should have no trouble installing anything new.

    Click E to exit MBRWork the screen will come up to R:// with a blinking cursor.

    Remove the Hiren's disc from the CD/DVD drive, and replace it with your Windows,Ubuntu or other O/S disc.
    Type reboot and it should start into the install of the O/S you have chosen, then just follow the prompts to install your new system.

    Overall this is not a bad PC, would be fine for most user's not into games

    Specs :

    Processor
    Processor type Athlon 64 X2 4400+
    Processor speed 2300.0 MHz

    Slots 3
    Parallel Port No
    Case
    Chassis style Tower (Mini)
    Internal Drive Bays 2
    External Drive Bays 3

    As a general use, or student PC this would be fine. Would make an excellent Office PC as was wanted aswell.

    Drivers for Windows are here :

    I would install Vista Ultimate as the O/S, to make use of the shared memory and easier security control. If you need a copy let me know by PM.

    Your pfSense box gets 1 of your 5 IPs, the other 4 are added as VIPs and can be used for NAT.

    See - Its good to be intellectually limited like me.  I know exactly 2 tricks that usually works.

    1.  Reinstall and reboot several times

    2.  Reboot some more.

    @doktornotor:

    You need to leave the box checked ONCE to get the URL saved. After that, does not matter.

    OK, that explains what's happening; thanks!
    That little bit of user interaction probably should be made a little more clear…

    That is the symptoms - apinger is detecting both latency (delay) and packet loss in excess of the values specified in the WAN_DHCP gateway parameters. Why you are getting that loss is another question. Try something like "ping 8.8.8.8" for a while from a LAN client and see if it is losing packets, then ping your local pfSense gateway IP… and see where the packets disappear/get lots of latency. Or maybe a big download was saturating your link at the time.

    @horace:

    I still don't understand how can i convert the key in order to use it with putty. Did i something wrong?

    You can use pkcs8 or rsa tools shipped with openssl to convert between those two:

    Thanks guys for your help, its working :)…

    I hope I did it right!.. Like kejianshi said, I added my subnet to the custom list in the Windows XP firewall and it worked :)

    Just to be clear about what I did and for anybody else who may not know how, here's how.

    In windows XP firewall settings under exceptions select "File and Print Sharing" and choose edit. Now add your subnet to the custom list. (don't forget to include the original subnet)

    Thanks again guys :)

    As a quick note: I don't remember HP1810Gs supporting etherchannel or loadbalancing over ports on different switches (even Ciscos or Juniper switches have it only in high(er) price models). So I'd go with casper's recommendation:

    throw away VLAN configurations on NIC1/2 create LAGG interface with failover type (a Bond1 configuration) create all 6 VLANs on the lagg0 interface configure the port on both switches for those 6 VLANs don't forget to allow them through your LACP trunk, too ;) (coworker forgot that, after failover only the ports on the active switch were working)

    That should do it.

    BTW, I tested the "Use IPv4 connectivity as parent interface" option. I was able to retain IPv6 connectivity. The only issue I had with it is that enabling it seemed to require a reboot. Aside from that, so far so good!

    Thanks a lot for this fix.  :) :) :)

    If a critical service process (dhcp, dns, OpenVPNs…) exits abnormally (system problem like out of swap space, program problem like divide by zero) there is no controlling script that called it that then gets the error code, and can loop around to try and run the program again. These services are forked off into independent processes by the bootup scripts.
    There is nothing else built into the system that monitors AND restarts them automatically. Yes, there are dashboard displays, but they don't take automatic action. And in any case, what if nobody has a dashboard running.
    So JimP has kindly made Service Watchdog - in a perfect world it would not be needed, just like a real watchdog.

    OpenVPN: in my experience the OpenVPN code is very good at trying forever to connect and eventually connecting once the underlying physical links and internet is up and working. I expect that an OpenVPN client would only stop trying to establish a connection if the process has actually crashed, which I have only seen happen because of "killed: out of swap space".

    @heavy1metal:

    I'd go with Kejianshi's idea. Though for social media sites, I'd block every purchased IP range they own, thus blocking both site and chatting features…

    Google's DNS names for messaging services:
    https://support.google.com/chat/answer/161980?hl=en

    restrict access to use only your DNS servers:
    https://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/Blocking_DNS_queries_to_external_resolvers

    Regarding the link to the "blocking DNS" entry on the wiki:
    This: http://www.interspective.net/2012/07/pfsense-ntp-and-network-sneakery.html
    Can be applied to DNS too.
    I enable this "feature" sometimes for my girlfriend for facebook when she has to study.
    The rule to block facbook would look something like this:

    address=/facebook.com/62.112.159.61

    The relevant page in the wiki for this is: https://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/Wildcard_Records_in_DNS_Forwarder

    Might also want to reference my original thread

    http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,66234.0.html

    since the backed out patch looks remarkably like the one that was proposed there and where I raised my
    concerns as to whether comparing the interface address against $vipent['subnet'] will work (I think it
    won't).

    If possible, the two threads should probably be merged.

    Yes but like I say if you have the same ISP you may end up with the same gateway on each WAN which confuses the gateway monitoring daemon. If you have PPPoE on each WAN you can just change the address being monitored to some other remote IP. If your WANs are dhcp you'll need to take other steps. One possible solution in that case is to leave the modems as routers so that pfSense sees the modem as its gatway. May not be an issue for you.
