    @submicron:

    You should not be editing files manually in the first place.  They will be overwritten.  There are tutorials on how to add cron jobs to the config.xml file.  Grab a copy, put in your cron jobs and restore the config.

    But my card is 4gb i wanna save some stuff on it, not related to th O.S, is that possible?

    Do some ping tests. Set it to not fragment, then try with various size packets.

    The Speedboost he's referring to is a feature in DD-WRT.  However, there's no way it'll increase his internet connection speed.  It's the equivalent of Turbo-G/ Speedboost/ Superspeed/ G-Plus found in Wireless-G routers to exceed the normal 54Mbps on Wireless-G connections.

    Given that the options on the page when you setup the captive portal are a) No authentication b) local user manager and c) RADIUS authentication I would answer yes.
    Loading it up on a test machine and playing with it may help determine if it is going to suit your needs.

    must go to ver 2, 1.2 releases  do not support multi-wan directly/natively.
    However one modem is bridged (the regular Internet) and the other is not (the one that is the VPN or otherwise, use pf as most modems wont do a vpn) have the vpn with pfsense and regular Internet with the modem. its pretty much a multi-wan setup but without round robin.

    heres a post where i did multi-wan
    http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,17032.msg88727.html#msg88727

    and heres some tutorials:
    http://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/Multi-WAN_OpenVPN
    http://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/Multi_WAN_/_Load_Balancing   <- ignore the round robin stuff other than that its the same

    whats the latency for you vpn connections? (ping the ip) if you have to go in and manually connect it tells me that it is timing out (taking too long/longer than it should so it gives up and will try again later-not sure when later is though) hence you have to do it manually.

    ISA is capable of running Layer 7 inspection, and is very good at it.

    PFsense does not yet, and I still use ISA2006 for traffic inspection and delivery to the serverfarm….L7 is the one thing I miss in PFsense, and the reason for ISA not beeing replaced.

    I always wondered, what is the benefit for having a sip proxy installed? I am running an asterisk box for almost a year in my office with pfsense and without a sip proxy solution implemented and everything works great.

    @Atlanta-Mike:

    Ok, so it isn't a problem, other than making the logs usless to look at?

    Correct.

    I'm not sure if that is something that can be fixed in the package or not. It appears to be it's normal MO, so it just spams the logs.

    The real log file might contain more useful info. From the console, you could always run a command like this:

    clog -f /var/log/system.log | grep -v promisc

    And monitor that way for suspicious entries.

    @wallabybob:

    You started cupsd?

    ( ps ax | grep cups)

    No, cupsd does not start for some reason, don't know why.
    I followed the configuration guide, but every time the computer starts, the /etc/rc.conf file is missing.

    3 Configuring the CUPS Print Server

    After installation, a few files must edited in order to configure the CUPS server. First, create or modify, as the case may be, the file /etc/devfs.rules and add the following information to set the proper permissions on all potential printer devices and to associate printers with the cups user group:

    [system=10]
    add path 'unlpt*' mode 0660 group cups
    add path 'ulpt*' mode 0660 group cups
    add path 'lpt*' mode 0660 group cups

    Next, add two lines to /etc/rc.conf as follows:

    cupsd_enable="YES"
    devfs_system_ruleset="system"

    These two entries will start the CUPS print server on boot and invoke the local devfs rule created above, respectively.

    I created /etc/devfs.rules manually and added the lines mentioned in the quide above, but there is already a file called /etc/defaults/devfs.rules present in the system. Do I need to modify the latter accordingly and drop the one created by hand?

    Should cups-base be pkg_add'ed as well?
    (I am walking in the dark here…)
    ??? ??? ???
    Thanks!

    Hmmm, that what I thought, but it didn't work.  I just now tried again, and it did, and I can confirm the root fs is mounted RW.  I must have had a brain-cramp somewhere, sorry for the false alarm :(

    Thanks for your reply - Will ignore those messages

    The issue is now resolved - I noticed out of the windows a confused looking BT engineer outside the building while I was considering jumping and ending it all out of frustration. After my colleague approached/beat the truth out of him the mystery was solved.

    It turns out their was an issue on the line that out of some strange coincidence started as I was putting the new firewall. All sorted and fast as lightning now.

    Start by reading this: http://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/MultiWanVersion1.2
    You'll have to modify things a bit as it sounds like you want two WANs and two LANs. (Your picture link is broken) Look around in the routing and multi-wan forum, there is lots of info there.
