However, FreeBSD has the binary packages and as FreeNAS is based on FreeBSD you may find that you can install the FreeBSD package.

More to the point, downgrading, especially for IPSEC is a very bad idea.  Many MANY things were fixed with IPSEC in the release versions.  Running an outdated (read: unsupported) version of pfSense is an exceptionally bad idea.

For those of you not already doing so: Limit the Source IPs in your external SSH rules Install SSH keys and do not allow logins without keys Rate limit connections as indicated in the forum. All the tools to limit your exposure to SSH bruteforcing are in place, its up to you to use them.

Thank you, this helped.  I ended up putting the jumper on the HDD pin limiting it to 32GB - this baby is a barraccuda 120GB, and I'll just assume it was too big or too fast by default. thanks for the help  guys, maybe you could add this fact to the doc. cheers me.

Ah, thank you - very helpful link.

I think the problem appears because you set the system to embedded while the media is mounted writeable. You could probably get rid of this "spam" by setting the file to platform pfsense again, performing a clean shutdown and then modifying the file back to embedded while pfsense is not running on this media so it boots up already with this file being set to embedded. You'll need another freebsd (or even pfSense) system to do this which sould not be too hard as you do this all in vm anyway.

I have a similar situation. My WAN is doing a Full Bridged connection ADSL2+ with TPG My WAN2 (OPT2) is a Symetrical link static IP. If I disconnect th WAN link it brings down my WAN2 link I can't ping to any IP's on my DMZ (Routed via WAN2) What is going on?

Hi there, I had problems with the Live CD on one box - it restarted just after finding the bootloader. I got it to run with a GRUB boot floppy as at: http://www.lrz-muenchen.de/~bernhard/grub-chain-cd.html

Hi I have donwloaded . Thanks Krishna

Yeah I got this sorted and you are correct. I had the actual package installed prior. Removing the package and then re-applying the 1.2R upgrade cleaned this up.

I run the embedded version on an IP330. I bought an IDE to compact flash adapter. It was as easy as flashing the image to the compact flash card, inserting it in the adapter, and turning on the IP330.

I have change of computer it's works perfect, so i can say pfsense 1.2 can't boot into a Sata CdDrive

Search the forum. It has already been posted several times. You are running an old bios that had issues. Upgrade the bios to the latest version and it will work.

That was probably some arp (argh!) problem then  ;)

Did the upgrade remotely today - works like a treat. Thanks for you help.

Can i use this to build: http://devwiki.pfsense.org/BuildingpFSense and in which step do i add the driver?
