I hate to dig up the thread just to say "me too" but this thread accurately describes my problem. My specific WAN card is an Intel PRO/1000 PT Dual Port Server Adapter - network adapter - 2 ports (EXPI9402PTBLK). Happy to provide whatever other information would be useful. Any updates on this issue? I am running pfSense 2.3.2. Would the same issue affect a Intel Pro/1000 PT Quad port D72468 39Y6137 NC364T 10N8556 EXPI9404PTG2L20 D57995?

Great, glad to hear it's working for you now  ;)

Hi, Same here, fetching various packages takes aeons… well, we ll wait then. All good things come to those etc... Edit: Done. Got there. Thanks

Thanks Phil.

Successful update from 2.3.1_5 to 2.3.2 Thanks to pfsense team :)

Yeah the only reason to keep the gitrepo directory around is if you want to gitsync again, it'll be much quicker to update the existing than to checkout the entire thing. Outside of that, it has no impact on the system.

oh june ;) be sure to bump a topic every week if nobody replied to it :)

@skynetsysadmin: OMG, a whole 17watts! You only read what you wanna read. 17W is the chipset. You still didn't answer which CPU you use. Those 45 or 60 Watts add to the total. The system cost is always comprised of hardware price plus operating costs by usage period (unless parents pay the power bill). @skynetsysadmin: Do you even remember CRTs? My education included repairing them. Why do you ask, is yours broken?

still the serial settings are wrong … doesn't matter what the manufacturer states. the manufacturer states the serial settings that are in use when the OS has not taken over (while the BIOS is in control). somewhere in the bootprocess, pfSense takes over and puts the serial settings to something different ( as noted in the link i've posted) the 4GB card should work with a 4GB image

I found out what my issues was. I was using the same Mac address on both the Wan interface of the Draytek and the Wan interface on PFsense, even though i cleared it out from PFSense. i just added a few digits to PFSense and its all up and working. Thanks again Exolon!!!

Final question for anyone who might know.  I can see how I can replace the fans quite easily (there is an 8 pin molex connector (marked MSH 3/2695) connecting the four SAN ACE 40 fans to the PSU.  However, I have heard there is a way to solder a LM7806 voltage regulator to the fan bay, however I haven't got a clue how to do this.  Any ideas?

@jpvonhemel: So I reentered the code, but I notice my Disk Usage is still 106%. Here is a copy of me entering the code followed by a look at the /var/run directory. I'm not sure what I need to do to fix this. Run on shell: rm /var/run/php-fpm.core

Was supposed to be a few days back, but then they ran into some last minute problems during their last set of testing. They like to release Tues-Wed.

Hi Guy thanks for your replies, I've tried burning it to a CD but still no joy and even change the CD-Rom and still same result. if I try the install on a tower then it installs fine every time but its only when I try installing it on a HP or Dell desktop. I was thinking of installing PFSense on the tower and then removing the HDD and installing it then into one of the HP / Dell. I have 12 PFSense to build and need to sort this issue ASAP.

Update: got it working. If anyone is suffering from issues with VLANS , cable modems and pfSense read on, it might help. Seems the issue might have been due to my switch MAC add being utilized first instead of my firewall box at the ISP end, due to using VLANS? Anyway - to correct this - I attached my firewall box directly to the cable modem and did a system reset and obtained a WAN directly. I then setup my WAN VLAN in the gui and switched to it - obviously making sure all cables were put into their correct VLAN port…  (For some reason I couldn't get this to work via the console?) I am a happy man for now....
