@filnko: I did a full install on the mSATA and didn't have any problems with it yet. @davidmg: you did not use the embedded version? no

I found the problem and its kind of a bug . My system has 2 on board and 2 extra lan cards 3 com/realtec/marvel chip When i enable both on board lan cards , none of the lan cards can communicate with the rest of the network , what ever i do and which card i choose. by the time i disable on board cards both extra lan cards works fine. I suppose this it a bug

@jimp…you made my day...very very great help...my 3 days of search is over...thank you so much

Good! :)

booting yes installing on SSD no for some strange reason it will not boot pfSense without the USB plugged into it. Also having just the USB will not boot pfSense either. However I did multiple test booting of the BIOS to see whether storage devices get changed in boot order. They do not. the BIOS will assign in order … PCEngine: APU1C4 Compact Flash SSD USB "A" - top USB "B" - bottom 1. USB MSC Drive Multiple Card  Reader 1.00 2. AHCI/0: SuperSSpeed mSATA SSD 16GB ATA-7 Hard-Disk (15258 M 3. USB MSC Drive SanDisk U3 Cruzer Micro 4.04 4. DVD/CD [USB MSC Drive SanDisk U3 Cruzer Micro 4.04] 5. Payload [setup] 6. Payload [memtest] And yes, if any body asks the SSD has the new firmware.

Ok.. I understand now. I'm just back of pfsense thing. So I guess I'll have to divert on squid thing for cashing.

Yes its definitively related to other dependencies. I'm unfortunately a Newbie in FreeBSD. Is there anymore here who already faced those issues ? Have you been able to install any other packages ??

Do a fresh install of pfSense and load your config, everything else is apparently a waste of time…

Thank you KOM! I didnt mention that my installation is an amd64… because of that i used : pkg_add -rvf ftp://ftp-archive.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD-Archive/ports/amd64/packages-8.3-release/Latest/p5-GD.tbz after installation i have to full refresh report page (ctrl+f5) and everything seems to be fine now! Thanks again!

=loaded 2.2 on the msata16c and works fine. =what has to be done with 2.1.4

iam facing the same issue with fresh install on a msata16c same procedures works on a msata16b

What is your pfSense LAN IP and DHCP range? You just need to do some reconfiguration on the ISR 892 to remove/ change the NAT, zones and pre-configured IPs.

It seems to be common that network problems you can't seem to resolve end up having an external factor.

A couple of things to watch out for if you do go that route. Support for wireless hardware in 2.1.X is limited. You may find your wifi nic in the laptop isn't supported at all. If it is supported and you assign it as LAN things can get a bit tricky because you won't able to connect to it until you've configured it but usually you would use LAN to do that.  ::) You would have to connect to the webgui via the WAN whicn means working around the firewall which will block that by default.

I suggest you guys to get the 3-eth (big) model. It has more RAM and uses a 15V supply with a standard P4 plug. Other models are powered with 5V, but uses a different (proprietary?) keyed plug. The disadvantage is the absence of a buzzer, I like it. The sound goes out by sound card only. There are plenty of eBox models, so choose it carefully, matching the specs which you want.

Presuming your Intel NIC is using the em(4) driver.  From the Manual Page: 1000baseTX  Sets 1000Mbps operation.  Only full-duplex mode is supported at this speed. I think they mean 1000BaseT, but you can't have everything. When I have gig ports talking to gig ports, I use autoselect.  If I have gig ports talking to who knows what's going to plug in, I use autoselect.  If I have something static like you have and I have a gig port talking to a 100BaseTX port, I usually hard set both sides.

thank you very much
