BIOS? Mine is running 1.33c. I think I only had to fiddle with the settings on the SATA setup, but here are the settings for reference: show ConSpeed = 9600 ConLock = Enabled ConMute = Disabled BIOSentry = Enabled PCIROMS = Enabled PXEBoot = Disabled FLASH = Primary BootDelay = 2 FastBoot = Disabled BootPartition = Disabled BootDrive = 80 81 FF FF ShowPCI = Enabled Reset = Hard CpuSpeed = Default

Thank you Chris. That helped me alot  ;D

I sort of have the same issue, everything seems to be working okay on the LAN side except I cannot access the internet from the LAN side workstations. When I check interface status both LAN and WAN look okay no apparent errors indicated. My ISP is Cogeco in Oakville Ontario CANADA, I entered all the technical details that my NETGEAR router had about Cogeco into pfSense box and pfSense box 'looks' okay using same parameters, I see no obvious errors. If anyone has any suggestions of what I should look for or try I would appreciate it. Thanks <marvin></marvin>

Put the harddisk into another computer and install it there. Then move the harddisk to the machine you want to use it.

Yes it is.  I actually had an extra 2600 router here that I tossed in between the XO Hatteras modem and pfsense.  I was initially trying to connect pfsense directly to the the Hatterras box.  Like I mentioned in my previous post I was surprised CC worked like that. Thanks again for your guidance fellow XO user!! Manuel

Take a look at the packages forum (and search it - the question of using Squid as a reverse proxy has come up before) and the documentation for Squid (www.squid-cache.org from memory).  I've never used it that way, I just remember reading that it can do that.

Or you could just follow the guide here: http://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/Full_Install_on_WRAP_Embedded_Router

Yup. Get a copy of VMWare or another virtual machine system that supports FreeBSD.  VMWare has a free trial. Then, install FreeBSD 7.1 inside that virtual machine.

@znelbok: on the contrary, those that are new coming here with that question will find the answer now that there is a thread with this title. I am new and did not find the reply in any other thread. it is not all bad having questions asked again if the thread subject offers a good explanation of the question. Mick Did you read the forum rules? Apparently not. Let me quote: Allways search forum, FAQ and WIKI before asking, We do have them so that we will not have to answer every question over and over. Do not crosspost ! if you are looking for quick answers try IRC first. If you do not get any answers there, try either Forum or mailing lists. NEVER both. So not only was this question posted multiple times at different places, no, the search function which can be found here: http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?action=search has not been used as well. Heck. There's even a a hardware compatibility list on the mainpage of http://pfsense.com (hardware –> compatibility list): http://www.pfsense.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=46&Itemid=51 Not meant to be rude, but it gets annoying if you have to answer the same questions over and over and over and over and over again just because someone didnt even TRY to find the relevant information. And honestly. If you cant even get the hardware running then please stop right now and get a clue what you're messing with.

just tested with pfSense-2.0-ALPHA-ALPHA-20090427-1036.iso no problems anymore , so there must be something wrong in the releases after this one for me. i don't know what , but it has to do with the Realtek of config file. ??? ??? ??? ???

Wow.  I would never have guessed that.  That's a shame; man pages are so useful… Thanks anyhow, Eric
