    @Roodawakening:

    Actually, I'm a cop so money doesn't grow on trees in my household. And do you mean an Athlon II 240? I didn't know there was such an animal as a Phenom II 240.

    Oh…and I could always "downcore" it through the BIOS, too.

    Oh… Right...  Athlon II.  Severely sleep deprived these days..  :P  I was thinking of the 550 Black Edition.

    @Tuckie:

    part of the mini-PCIe spec requires having usb2.0 pins as well.  Because of this, many mini-PCIe cards just use usb chipsets

    In which case the host connection and power supply is by USB and the mini-PCIe connector on the PCB effectively just provides a mounting mechanism?

    After much more silent debate ;)  I realized that for 10 dollars more, I can buy the case separately:
    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811120008
    And then just pick up the cheapest intel atom motheboard instead:

    Alongside this NIC:

    Anyone see any problems with this setup?

    Without knowing what the actual specs are, it's hard to say anything definitive.

    However, with 60% memory usage you've got 40% unused so plenty of headroom.  I'd say that it's time to updgrade when:

    a) Memory passes 90% (excluding the disk cache) or you're hitting swap
    b) CPU usage regularly hits 100% and stays there

    Disk usage is often down to logs or proxy caches so you can easily clean out the logs or the cache.

    turns out my gige copper nic was the issue! the darn thing.  I replaced it and go figure, pfsense sees both NICs now, even stable 1.2.2 sees both, so I am very pleased.  pfSense wins yet again! :)

    @fastcon68:

    As I found out by talking to Vonage support it requires a connection to both the wan and lan.  It will not work unless they are both connected.

    Mine works fine via a dedicated NIC connected to the WAN port.  Nothing on the LAN side.

    In this case its even easier.
    All you need to do is create a static route for the Ip of your remote end pointing to you second gateway.

    Unless you're willing to buy a VLAN capable switch you wont be able to have two separate interfaces on the pfSense itself.

    I saw the eval command and thought I run it against my virtual machine(quad phemon 2.5 GHZ processor).  I have 2 processors dedicated to my firewall.

    I don't have any encryption hardware.  That is supported at this time.  How do my numbers compare to other people's systems.  I thinking about moving some hardware around and debating about replacing a server.  I don't what to take to big of a performance hit.

    I have an Intel D945GCLF2 board using the RTL8111C (as LAN) and it is running PFSense 1.2.3RC2 without any issues.  Hope that helps.  ;D

    Jeg ved det faktisk ikke :) Skal du inst fra en USB stick, skal du kunne boote fra den.

    Hacom har skærmdumps og det har PFsense ikke som std.

    Det vil sige at med Hacom undgår du at skulle koble dig til den lille maskine via usb eller seriel for at se skærm output…

    Jeg bruger kun Hacom i produktionsmiljøer og det gør det meget nemmere. Jeg forstår ikke hvorfor PFsense skal være sådant indrettet, men det er jo nørd land...:D
