    Fill in all the fields for SNMP and see if it starts

      Oops,
      Those fields didn't exist in m0n0wall and that's why I didn't fill them up?
      Are they simple text strings with no real configurable meaning?
      Can I input my town name and my phone number?
      Is that what those fields are there for?
      May I advise you that I have already filled those fields with my town name and my phone number and still the SNMP service won't start.
      TIA
      Cheers

        Run this from a shell and report the results:

        /usr/sbin/bsnmpd -c /var/etc/snmpd.conf -p /var/run/snmpd.pid

          Do you mean Diagnostics > Command Prompt > Execute ?
          Did that but bsnmpd still stopped.
          Gee, this ain't my day is it?
          And it sure this ain't your day too  :D.

            From the same command prompt run:

            ps awux | grep bsnmpd

              Got this:

              $ ps awux | grep bsnmpd
              root    12850  3.7  2.0  1632  1136  ??  SN    1:45AM   0:00.07 sh -c ps awux | grep bsnmpd
              root    12852  3.7  1.2  1464   672  ??  RN    1:45AM   0:00.04 grep bsnmpd
              

              But bsnmpd is still stopped according to the status > services page.
              Duh :D.
              Cheers

                Uh not quite.  The command that showed up was you executing ps.

                Not sure why it's not starting on your box.  It's working great here.    What platform (embedded or full)

                  0.95.4 Embedded on a Soekris net4521 which has the same specs as the net4501.
                  The main difference is the 4501 has 3 NICs and the 4521 has 2 NICs with 2xPCMCIA.
                  I told you, this ain't my day.
                  It's 2am here in PTG.
                  Gotta get some sleep.
                  I'll get back tomorrow and we'll see if we missed something.
                  But thanks for all the tips.
                  Cheers

                    Remember me saying that WoL was not starting up too?
                    When I configured pfS I had setup a client on the client's list.
                    That way it would be easier to wake up my home PC when I'm away.
                    I just removed that entry and the WoL service started.
                    But the SNMP is still down.
                    And I already rebooted the box, disabled SNMP, reenabled SNMP but it stays disabled.
                    Maybe we'll talk more about this tomorrow.
                    Cheers

                      Hi guys,
                      Having solved the WoL issue temporarily - yes temporarily because now I can't have a list of hosts to wake up :( - I have been trying to understand what is happening with the SNMP service.
                      And suddenly, while watching my logs I saw this:

                      Dec 7 13:08:29 	php: : DynDns: Running updatedns()
                      Dec 7 13:08:29 	php: : DynDns: updatedns() starting
                      Dec 7 13:08:29 	php: : DynDns: _detectChange() starting.
                      Dec 7 13:08:29 	php: : DynDns: Current WAN IP: x.x.x.x
                      Dec 7 13:08:31 	kernel: sis1: Applying short cable fix (reg=e8)
                      Dec 7 13:08:33 	php: : DynDns: Cached IP: 0.0.0.0
                      Dec 7 13:08:33 	php: : DynDns: cacheIP != wan_ip. Updating.
                      Dec 7 13:08:33 	php: : DynDns: DynDns _update() starting.
                      Dec 7 13:08:37 	kernel: sis1: Applying short cable fix (reg=e8)
                      Dec 7 13:08:38 	kernel: sis1: Applying short cable fix (reg=e8)
                      Dec 7 13:08:40 	php: : DynDns: DynDns _checkStatus() starting.
                      Dec 7 13:08:40 	php: : DynDns: Current Service: dyndns
                      Dec 7 13:08:40 	php: : phpDynDNS: PAYLOAD: abuse
                      

                      I thought, oh man, I really need the dynamic dns service up.
                      Although it doesn't show as being "down" in the status > services window I checked my DynDNS account and they say it's blocked :(.
                      I can assure you it was working perfectly before I tried pfSense instead of m0n0.
                      So, 1st it was the SNMP, then it was the WoL, then the networking performance is very poor and now a dynamic dns problem.
                      What else will happen to me?…
                      Cheers
