Just following up on this - when I tried this again and power-cycled the model, it worked right away. Thanks again!

you write that is not working with Loadbalancing ?

Have never seen a issue where could not get an IP on new machine connected to cable modem after reboot of modem.

If you change the mac of the device - reboot the cable modem.  I personally have lots of different vms running different distros I can bring up as my router/firewall..  All I do to move to different one other than my main pfsense one is just use the same mac on the wan side connected to the cable modem via the vswitch.

I maintain my public IP this way and don't have to reboot my cable modem.

Now what I would like to see is a way to maintain my IPv6 PD so that is not changing every time you turn around ;)  Then I could go native vs tunnel…

Ah, that implies it hadn't rebooted correctly after the upgrade. It's possible that rebooting manually could have brought that back. Odd symptoms for that. A clean install is safest though.

The only way you can connect more than one of those LAN ports to your switch is as part of a LAGG but it seems like your current switch doesn't support that. Connecting more than one port currently would be a bad idea.
You can configure the ports in a bridge as you described and then connect other clients to that directly if you want. Others here will tell you it's a waste of ports though and not as good as using a real 8 port switch.
Are you able to connect a client to any of those other LAN ports and get internet access?

Holiday and my replacement drive was still delivered! Popped in the drive, downloaded the latest 2.2.2, used Virtual Storage through iKVM to mount the ISO, rebooted and installed to the new hard drive. Rebooted, ran through the initial script and done. Also, TRIM is now enabled!  ;D

Thanks

Yeah. there's no practical way to expand the image. It's possibe to create another slice in the remaiing space and use it for something but I wouldn't recommend it. Are you running out of space?
I usually run the 1GB image simply because it writes to the card faster.
That's a curious error though, I thought the images were now small enough for even the most optimistic definition of 4GB! What card do you have?

Thanks heper,

I ended up doing exactly that ;-)

Thanks and best regards,

And what does pfsense have to do with your windows neighborhood hood browsing?

Pfsense has nothing to do with machines talking to each other on the same segment.  Nothing!!!

Run a cable, and directly connect it.. Or use a switch in front of pfsense if you don't want to run 2 wires.  I would run 2 wires ;)

Or you can sniff the traffic from your set top box and see exactly what is going on, could be something with dhcp option and jumping vlans like a phone can do, etc.  But without understanding how its getting the public how do you expect to make it work behind pfsense?

dears
is it working as same as configuration bbut with squid non transparent ??

@doktornotor:

Look at the Cache/Proxy subforum and see for yourself.

So is there a less "shitty" way to do content filtering??

Have you tried disabling the COMMS port?

Nope, it is not yet fixed in 2.2.2 as this is the version I am on. I have taken your advise and yes, it is booting up fast and furious. I do not need my comms port on this machine so will leave it disabled.

Thank you for pointing me in the right direction.

I was looking at going to a Kingston 8Gb - it will do USB3, but only in a USB2 port

It talks about a 5 year life?

Update: Tested and working on m0n0wall 1.8.1, 1.34, 1.33 to pfSense 2.2.2 + 2.1 NanoBSD
