Thank you very much!

Diagnostics -> Backup / Restore

yes, of course…

@fcapizzo:

I know you already fixed your issue, but I had the exact same issue when I first disconnected my WAN connection from my Netgear router to the WAN port of my box running pfsense, and I also have Time Warner as an ISP.  WAN would not obtain an IP address until I power-cycled the cable modem.  I wonder if the cable modem doesn't like changing the MAC address it connects to if it's already been connected to a different device previously.

That has been my experience as well when changing Mac addresses on Insight cable as well.

I had the same issues as you.  I'm using one of those little Hacom systems for my pfSense install, and I initially wanted to use a super-fast 1GB CF card to install it, but had all those DMA timeouts.  Via Google searches I saw lots of suggestions to disable UDMA and to set the access mode of the port (for the Hacom using CF it's Master on the Secondary controller) to CHS.  That didn't help, but I tried a 256MB card and that worked.  However I didn't want to use a small 256MB card so I went to some stores and bought the cheapest 1GB CF cards I could buy.  Sure enough, some cheap 1GB CF card that was on sale for $12 worked immediately.  I even bought another one to have as a backup.

I don't know if this will help or not, but you may want to first bring down the speed of the interface you're connecting the CF card to down to non-UDMA.  Second, try some other cards.  I suspect that the nice high-speed CF cards have less of a chance of working than the el-cheapo CF cards.  Just a guess.

ok i now but i wanted to see if some one answear. when i play my xbox 360 its require open nat but after a few start with the 360 the pfsenses loggs of upnp is being full and its stop working. so this is a big problem in the upnp and i hopes this will bee fix to the next release. in the old verison of upnp this problem was not discover  but in the new one i fond it.

1.0?  Please try 1.0.1 or a recent 1.2-BETA-1 snapshot from http://snapshots.pfsense.com/FreeBSD6/RELENG_1_2/

Fix in recent snapshots.

if you login by consul or by ssh
then you see in the welkoms text the hints to make a cd iso or a update or a embeded iso

put all you stuff in the pfsense jail
and run then the comands shown to you to make what you want

@cybertron:

8Mb+ is that really really fast? I dont know what the measuring stick is anymore these days

;D  I should have quantified that.  By "really, really fast" I mean 50+ Mb.

is vmware host on Windows or linux?

theres a guide to windows host setup here http://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/Installation_With_VMWare_under_Windows

its not hard to setup and runs OK underVMWare so there must be something basic wrong with your setup.

thanks…

We need to fix the files generated so the date is actually the date it was created. I'm not sure why it's that way now. It's one of those things I'm going to look into eventually.  :)

What you probably installed was 1.2b1 then, if you got it from a mirror. That should be a fine version to use for most things, unless you run into something that somebody says has been fixed in a snapshot.

Yeah all the routing will be fine, except you'll have to manually fail over to the backup VPN.

I've done this from time to time and never had an issue. The only possible problem I can think of would be if the BIOS of the two computers had different translations for the HDD.

And you tried the last suggestion to use Grub/Gag/etc?

I have the same issue, with a SCSI Hard Drive….. at the boot screen the machine hangs and does not boot.

and the "pip" he is talking about is a beep from speaker.

@matt518000:

To find more better IDE-CF Adapter , you can visit http://www.soarland.com , the menufactory has low price and good quality.
support 8G CF .

Thanks for the advertisement, but the IDE-CF adapter has nothing whatever to do with the problem.  The BSD kernel fails to recognize the Seagate CF microdrive after the BIOS bootloader is finished.  (And I did try four different brands of IDE-CF adapter with identical results.)

I think you must embed an Seagate IC , I use FreeBSD boot from CF too , It works well

I'm a patient man, I'll wait and see what the full version of 1.2 brings
