ok, I will get latest snapshot - thanks.

Actually you might have had a stale state in the state table from before the apply took effect, and resetting the states may have been enough to make it live.

A reboot would have the same result though.

It might help to disable any PXE or network boot options in the BIOS, then it may not attempt to use the card so soon and it may have a better chance of success.

Also you can try:

ifconfig em0 down; sleep 5; ifconfig em0 up

And if that successfully brings it up, put that in a shellcmd (with the full paths to the commands, of course…)

If your trying to use the url from that mysql thread - its changed.. You would pull 8.1 stuff from archive now.

Why not just put slaves in each segment, or tell the clients where the NIS is so that they don't have to broadcast for it?

Forwarding broadcasts kind of defeats one of the reasons for a broadcast domain, or segment ;)

Hmm.
Define 'different locations'.
If you mean completely separate places with no internal connection between them you can't have a failover scenario because it would require the VPN connection, which would also fail.
You have just two VMs, C and D, in one of those locations?

When you have an unclean shut down (yank the power cord, kernel panic), the disk will be dirty and fsck will run to fix it. That's not related, just normal after a kernel panic.

Don't know why but NOW IT WORKS!  :o

What i've done:

-debug.pfftpproxy was = 0 by default, ftp doesn't worked so i set to 1
-so i set debug.pfftpproxy = 1 but it doesn't worked and i wrote this post…
-now i tried to go back to debug.pfftpproxy = 1 and ftp works!!!  ::)

Thanks for you help...

I only have about 10 DHCP leases. When I go to Status -> DHCP Lease, I see that my IP camera sometimes the "online" status is OFFLINE, but "lease type" is ACTIVE. But I am pretty sure my camera is online, coz I can use my browser to connect to the camera just fine. I am not sure how pfsense determine if it's offline, and if it only refresh the DHCP lease list every few minutes. Also, if this is the reason that pfsense thinks my ip camera is offline and release the IP lease.

I turned off the logging from writing to disk, because I had memory issue. I just turned it back on, will monitor why my IP changes.

Yep, it wasn't dying.  Went in today and saw the syslog service running on the firewalls, so went to try and figure out why the Cisco switches were talking to syslog server but not the production and test firewall.

Turns out the network that the firewalls is on is considered public by the Winows Firewall on the Syslog Server.  Changed the setttings to allow the public network through to the syslog service and the meassges started flowing in.

Thanks for the input.  It did make troubleshooting easier.

ps: I also tried accessing from different browsers and different computers with Linux and Windows, and the result is always the same.

Sorry- missed this till now.   But updated earlier to latest 2.0.2 release on that box and all is good!   :)

Thanks!

@franci:

when I looked at the system logs I get only a "Segmentation fault" message.

How did you look at system logs? In "modern" versions of pfSense it is necessary to use the clog utility because the logs are kept in a special format (circular log) which is limited in size.

Please post the output of the pfSense shell command```

Why not put the pfSense box out in front, give it the public IP, and then create two networks behind it, that can both access the internet but not each other. There must be a way to set the Huawei modem/router into bridge mode. So then you have WAN, LAN1, LAN2.

@Atomjax:

Steve

I guess that is the part I don't understand. Why would both be set to none and why does there need to be a third network involved?

What I have done so far:

1. Configured the WAN interface with a public IP. We will say 111.111.111.19/29 with a gateway of 111.111.111.17
2. Turned off NAT
3. Enabled net.link.bridge.pfil_bridge
4.Enabled the OPT1 interface without any further configuration for the interface.
5. Configured with the Bridge with the WAN and OPT interface. No advanced settings were configured.

What I want to accomplish is this. I have a public /29 subnet. I want to be able use and firewall the whole subnet with only one outside interface.

Thanks for your help.

When you put interfaces into a bridge, you generally no-longer will set an IP to the interfaces directly. You will assign an ip to the bridge itself which is like a virtual nic that is present on the bridge. So essentially do not set any IP on WAN, set the IP on Bridge0 instead.

Thank you; I had actually followed that thread a bit over a week ago, but it seemed stalled - I'll check back in a few days.

Are you using VLANs on the WAN connection ?

I read something that when using the parent interface and a VLAN member of this interface that the parent interface counts the child and itself in the traffic counter. Not sure if it is 100% correct what I said but there was something strange with that.
