    I just can't reach a lot of sites (not MTU problem)

      No, the IP range is public (213.199.*) and the subnetmask (255.255.255.0) seems right too. Either way, the IPs of sites I can't connect to are seemingly random, completely different ranges than mine. I'm really at a loss here. I'm going to try switching out my NICs just to be sure, although I've tried that before too. I might have messed something up the last time, I was tired.

        If you traceroute to these IPs, where does the route die? Directly at your pfSense or somewhere in the providers network?

          Well, changing NICs did nothing, but that was expected.

          Yeah, right at the pfSense. 1 hop (192.168.1.1) and then everything times out. :-\

            Okay did you test using just one single box/OS or do you get the same behaviour using different boxes and different OS types?

              I've tried with Windows XP and Mac OSX, same results. Also, because I'm sure someone will ask, everything works just fine if I don't use the pfSense box at all, I've had Windows XP, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, OSX and Nexenta (opensolaris) and AIX 5.2 connected straight to the wall without a problem.

                How about traceroutes to sites you can reach?  Just curious if the traceroute looks the same or different. 
                What about traceroutes from the pfsense box itself?  There's probably something obvious at play here that we're just missing.

                  Traceroutes to sites I can reach look perfectly normal, traceroutes from the pfSense box itself, as far as I can remember, didn't work at all.

                  Unfortunately I can't do any more testing/troubleshooting, I got too impatient, got a new PC coming soon and I want to get my little home network set up again before I have to deal with assembling and installing that, so I wiped the pfSense installation and tried SmoothWall, which works perfectly. I'm sad to have to let pfSense go though, I strongly prefer BSD to Linux in general, and I like PF a lot, so I would have liked to support this project by using it.

                  EDIT: Oh, thanks for the help you guys tried to give btw.

                      Hi all,
                      Does Smoothwall support multi-wan?

                        Don't think it does.

                          Maybe not the right forum to ask about smoothwall but afaik it doesn't.
