Oh! If you are running embedded you will first need to make you os read/write with the following command

"Gateway" was the key.  Silly of me to forget…

I changed the two hosts' default gateway from the Linksys to the pfSense - for the WinXP I added the Linksys as a second gateway, for the Brother there isn't room.  Both hosts were apparently receiving pings/print requests/whatever, but didn't know how to reach the sender with a response.

And yes, I added rules up the wazoo: my network can talk to those two addresses but nothing else on their network, and only those two hosts can talk to my network.
It could be defeated by unplugging either host from their network and replacing it with a rogue machine with the same address; for the moment, however, I'm satisfied.

SOLVED: I got MSN working again after I allowed traffic from LAN to 1863 TCP port.

Thanks…

Any errors on the console?

Duh :-[… I thought "(assign)" was how I got into the mess in the first place - created unneeded interfaces - so I hadn't tried that menu item since then out of fear of making it worse... painless, if you don't count embarrassment.

Found a couple solutions…easiest one is```
pkg_add -r http://filename

Yes, it looks like it was (is) a DNS problem. Mail server is trying to do a reverse lookup on the source address… which just happens to be one of my public subnets that I'm decommissioning. So the DNS query to the internal server tried to go out and back in to the public server and just kind of dies there. It seems like its just affecting my testing.

1.3 has an option to password protect the console menu.

Hi I am also looking for email notification for pfsense

Connect to the console as root, start a shell and type:

cd /
du -csm *|sort -n

Wait for it to finish, the one at the bottom is the largest directory.  To drill down type:

cd directory
du -csm *|sort -n

Repeat until you get the answer you were looking for ;)

yes, i know

I've setup this rule : ICMP * * LAN Net * * on WAN Interface and this on LAN interface ICMP LAN net * * * *

Nothing go throught  WAN interface. Any ideas ?

There was some discussion of this a while back. http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,4628.0.html
At the moment, you will need another piece of equipment, unless that modem has ethernet.

Hi

I'm not offending you but I don't think we can give you simple yes/no answer, because you have to do consult your switch's manual very first and carefully before asking "Is that correct?" type of question here. The manual must have the way creating vlan and trouble shooting method. If I had same switch then I would probably be able to answer your question but not.

cheers,

The easiest way to upload a file to a pfSense box from a Windows system is probably through the web GUI interface. From the Diagnostics menu click on Command and then type the path to the file in the appropriate box or click the Browse button.
