that's correct, but I only have one physical IDE slot on the MB, so that means I can only connect one thing at the same time. I can't connect my flash drive as on an IDE cable since it's a female connector, unless I had a male to male IDE connector, but I don't at this moment, and all stores are closed on sunday. so usb didn't worked… I opened my external laci hard drive to get out the IDE to USB controller and used that one to put the flash disk on, it worked perfectly. I booted from the live CD, and installed it to my flash disk using command 99, placed the flash disk back on the MB and was able to get it booted, however after a while in the boot process I get the request to enter a manual root filesystem specification.  <fstype>: <device>when I list the valid disk boot devices I get: ad0s1c ad0s1b ad0s1a ad0s1 ad0 and teh command line says <mountroot>I'm new to this all so what should I do now? which volume do I need to boot and what flile system should I use. tnx for any input :-)</mountroot></device></fstype>

Also try checking "Use grub" during the boot block installation step.

well I got around the problem.I found that when I run the modem in half bridge mode that this this happens. I am adding the dns servers correctly and all machines behind are accessing the internet fine. I can also download the package list from pfsense. In half bridge its setup to pickup an IP by dhcp on the wan nic and static IP when I set the modem normally. AS far as I can see thats the only difference as the modem still does dns forwarding etc on half bridge.

hi, i suggest us start by cleaning your pc from trojan and other viruses.  then start worrying about your fire wall, if you trojan, i dont think firewall is any good. hadi57

If the router isn't doing NAT then you need to ensure you tell the pfSense host how to find the network behind the router.  In general, anything that can't be found via the default gateway needs a static route set up.  In pfSense this is done from System -> Static Routes.  In your case the Interface would be LAN.  Then provide the address of the network beyond the router and the IP of the interface on the router that's connected to the pfSense host.

Yeah, it is known to be broken ATM.  Seth is testing some possible fixes now.

not possible

I upgrade 1.2-RC1 to 1.2-RC2 on Harddisk, it say no enough space also, how can i do? for example, increase partition size.

I'm fairly sure that on reboot your filesystem would be back to read-write, I don't think that it would stay read-only.

AFAIK Inel Server NICs have a different interrupt handling with further reduced CPU utilization. They are more expensive than Desktop NICs but there must be a reason behind Intel offering those two versions, right? Please let me know if anyone has more details on the differences!

Do not cross post.  You mailed the same question to the mailing list.  We have politely asked in multiple places including this sites TOS to not cross post.  Thanks.

We release updates any time a security update is posted if it affects us.  Meanwhile the snapshot server rebuilds images hourly with the latest updates from FreeBSD (security updates) for the really security conscious. Scott

Recent installation ISOS will ask which kernel you want to use upon installation and make the necessary changes.

Nevermind, found out how to set DMA to be off and that worked : After the installation, add the following line to /boot/loader.conf: If you have to disable DMA for your hard drive(s): hw.ata.ata_dma=0

No I have it set at defaults, connecting directly there is no problem.  I even came home and installed pfsense on my home machine to try it out and I get the same result.

NTOP has a long history of hogging the CPU unfortunately.

Fat32 definitely won't work on a floppy.

Hello I got this device http://linitx.com/viewproduct.php?prodid=10909 Its got 6 nics, 5 realtek 10/100's and 1 realtek 10/100/1000 via ftp im able to get 90 megabits from "wan" to "DMZ" much faster than our net connection can handle so it preforms pretty well, ram usuage sites at 30% and cpu sits mostly at 6% but some times spikes up to 60%
