Well tried to deploy it on a Poweredge 2950 this morning, couldn't login on the new web interface with a livecd run but it was with the REL1, guess I'll wait a bit.

you might want to check this site, http://www.pendrivelinux.com/ although it is majority written for linux, but there is some section devoted to the general BIOS/PC setup to enable USB Boot.

Problem ended up being a faulty adapter card. Supplier sent me a replacement card and all is well.

It's been mentioned here before.  With unix you can delete a file that's open.  If you do that then while the file no longer appears in any directory listings, and isn't counted by "du", it still occupies disk space until the file is closed (at which point it is deleted).  There can be a problem with log files for certain applications when the log file is rotated but the application continues writing to it.  Eventually you run out of disk space, while not being able to tell why ;) If you can identify the offending application a restart of that app will solve the problem.  In your case it was probably squid.

Thanks for your reply, I'm french, I found some Atheros card on ebay, not very expansive and fully compatible with Freebsd. I'll trie with this solution.

Thanks for the information. I will try and let know if it works fine.

@mevans336: Even with 1:1 NAT, the firewall doesn't allow ports 0-65535 through right? It only forwards those ports through NAT? Yes. That's true. Even if you 1:1 NAT and you dont create a firewallrule that allows traffic, it will be blocked by the firewall. I might have exaggerated with saying you expose ports to the internet with 1:1 NAT. You have seperate rulesets for the Firewall and NAT. But it's still a better approach to have 2 ways of security. 1: the firewall 2: no defined destination for inbound unwanted traffic.

It maybe won't fix the issue - but why are you using an obsolete Release Candidate? 1.2-RELEASE is available on the mirrors. There is one reason I can think of to start with RC3, which is if you have a system that won't boot with the uniprocessor kernel in 1.2-RC4 or 1.2-RELEASE, but you can still install 1.2-RC3 then upgrade to 1.2-RELEASE with the SMP kernel selected in that case. It would certainly make sense to clear the configuration and start again. If that doesn't work, and the box is still responding to the console, select bridging again then reboot. Does it work then?

Thanks, that helps! Mike

Probably everything is much simplier? 1)Did you enable ICMP at WAN interface in rules? By default everything is allowed at LAN that is why you have icmp reply connecting to LAN. 2) Does ifconfig shows WAN as up? 3) tcpdump at WAN. Can you see arp request/response after connecting PC? icmp requests?

I'm suggesting you take a different approach.  Rather than doing development on your firewall (which is a Bad Thing from a security perspective), do your development elsewhere, create a package and then install that package on the firewall. Questions regarding development builds are probably best taken to Development forum.

i tried; i can only quit the install without save.. so i run nox ComixWall and it's work! thanks

Well, after a bit of messing around, the BIOS does in fact SEE the drive, so all is functioning well. It will boot a good portion, but always fails at: Trying to mount root from ufs:/dev/da0s1a Manual root filesystem specification:   <fstype>:<device>  Mount <device>using filesystem <fstype>eg. ufs:da0s1a   ?                  List valid disk boot devices   <empty line="">      Abort manual input mountroot> ?

you should install vmware-server on your ubuntu  and then setup a pfsense virtual machine or if you have physical access you could wipe ubuntu off and install pfsense from scratch

What box?  I'm good, but my crystal ball is in for repairs ;) Note that 192.168.x.x IP addresses are RFC1918 (aka "private") IP addresses and will not be the DNS servers for your Virgin Media cable modems.  I'd suggest you read through the various documents and postings in the Dual WAN forum (and start a new thread there) - I've never done this so anything I advise is just educated guesswork.
