  @aldo: there are lots of setting in the wireless cards. what card are you using. i have practical experiance with atheros in pfsense and everything was better than when using mono and older card try ifconfig and see that the stats are on the wireless card check to make sure the config is the one you put into the gui. additionally try to setup wireless ssid etc from command line only and  see how it looks Thank you very much. I use card with intersil prism 2.5 chipset. Directly Z-com 626. I try command line.

  Absolutely.  Use Intel or 3com nics for the best experience… Atleast thats what I have found.  YMMV.

  Server address: 192.168.254.254 Remote address range: 192.168.254.0 i dont know what version you are using but i think you have a problem with your subnet mask 'pppoe units' in your pppoe configureation 192.168.254.0 will be iether 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 as a subnet you are better to make a 'pppoe units of say 192.168.254.128/25 and a gateway of 192.168.254.1 the pppoe gateway must lye outside of the 'pppoe units subnet' post the snip of your pppoe xml. your problem looks like it is here and i am sure your logs will reinforce this

  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'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.

  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.

  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.

  @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.

  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
