Thanks, that helps!

Probably everything is much simplier?
1)Did you enable ICMP at WAN interface in rules?
By default everything is allowed at LAN that is why you have icmp reply connecting to LAN.
2) Does ifconfig shows WAN as up?
3) tcpdump at WAN. Can you see arp request/response after connecting PC? icmp requests?

I'm suggesting you take a different approach.  Rather than doing development on your firewall (which is a Bad Thing from a security perspective), do your development elsewhere, create a package and then install that package on the firewall.

Questions regarding development builds are probably best taken to Development forum.

i tried; i can only quit the install without save..
so i run nox ComixWall and it's work!
thanks

Well, after a bit of messing around, the BIOS does in fact SEE the drive, so all is functioning well.

It will boot a good portion, but always fails at:

Trying to mount root from ufs:/dev/da0s1a

Manual root filesystem specification:
  <fstype>:<device>  Mount <device>using filesystem <fstype>eg. ufs:da0s1a
  ?                  List valid disk boot devices

you should install vmware-server on your ubuntu  and then setup a pfsense virtual machine

or if you have physical access you could wipe ubuntu off and install pfsense from scratch

What box?  I'm good, but my crystal ball is in for repairs ;)

Note that 192.168.x.x IP addresses are RFC1918 (aka "private") IP addresses and will not be the DNS servers for your Virgin Media cable modems.  I'd suggest you read through the various documents and postings in the Dual WAN forum (and start a new thread there) - I've never done this so anything I advise is just educated guesswork.

However, FreeBSD has the binary packages and as FreeNAS is based on FreeBSD you may find that you can install the FreeBSD package.

ive got to part were says http://192.168.1.1/wizard.php
i am on thir need to do settings i am online but still need to do setting etc for it

More to the point, downgrading, especially for IPSEC is a very bad idea.  Many MANY things were fixed with IPSEC in the release versions.  Running an outdated (read: unsupported) version of pfSense is an exceptionally bad idea.

For those of you not already doing so:

Limit the Source IPs in your external SSH rules Install SSH keys and do not allow logins without keys Rate limit connections as indicated in the forum.

All the tools to limit your exposure to SSH bruteforcing are in place, its up to you to use them.

Thank you, this helped.  I ended up putting the jumper on the HDD pin limiting it to 32GB - this baby is a barraccuda 120GB, and I'll just assume it was too big or too fast by default.

thanks for the help  guys, maybe you could add this fact to the doc.

cheers
me.

Ah, thank you - very helpful link.

I think the problem appears because you set the system to embedded while the media is mounted writeable. You could probably get rid of this "spam" by setting the file to platform pfsense again, performing a clean shutdown and then modifying the file back to embedded while pfsense is not running on this media so it boots up already with this file being set to embedded. You'll need another freebsd (or even pfSense) system to do this which sould not be too hard as you do this all in vm anyway.

Also provide the dmesg info from http://<pfsense-ip>/status.php to see if the controller and hdd is detected or for obvious problems with it.</pfsense-ip>

I have a similar situation.

My WAN is doing a Full Bridged connection ADSL2+ with TPG

My WAN2 (OPT2) is a Symetrical link static IP. If I disconnect th WAN link it brings down my WAN2 link I can't ping to any IP's on my DMZ (Routed via WAN2)

What is going on?
