      In case the IP is not cleared download your config.xml from diagnostics>backup/restore, manually remove the item and upload it again. But first Do what Scott asked for please.

        Ok,

        Interfaces: WAN
        Type: Static
        Static IP configuration: Correct
        Other settings - empty
        FTP Helper  Disable the userland FTP-Proxy application  [CHECKED]
        Block private networks [CHECKED]
        
        
        Diagnostics: Ping
        
        Host  : www.yahoo.com
        Interface  WAN
        Count 3
        
        Ping output:

        cat /cf/conf/config.xml | grep failoverip returned nothing.

        /cf/conf/config.xml - only here found some failover string and no more in this file.

                  Same over here. I am to dumb to get IPsec to work…  :-[

                  I got some Firewall block messages from TCP Port 500 in the logs.
                  My static site is really knocked down on ports - do I have to open up something special here?

                  Needless to say, the tunnel is not coming up and I cannot ping a host on the other side.
                  Both pfSenses are 1.0.1 Snapshot 2006-DEC-23 with PPPoE ADSL.
                  Office has a static IP, home a dynamic one. NO SAD or SPD entries on static side and only SPD on dynamic end where I also get this:

                  Diagnostics: System logs: IPSEC VPN
                  Jan 4 10:48:10 racoon: ERROR: fatal parse failure (1 errors)
                  Jan 4 10:48:10 racoon: ERROR: /var/etc/racoon.conf:2: "500" parse error

                  Does the  "500" parse error  relate to a port issue??

                      Any news here?

                      I still get the parse error and have no idea where to look.
                      Installation is vanilla 1.0.1 with current snapshot, 1.0.1-SNAPSHOT-12-28-2006, built on Thu Jan 4 13:07:12 EST 2007
                      I added squid, (freeradius…), NTP, nmap (...) and mc.

                      IPsec install was from Hoba's tutorial.
                      What firewall ruleset do you recommend for IPsec use? UDP 500 and EAP on WAN or gateway's LAN address?
                      That's not covered by the tutorial AFAIK.

                      Greatly appreciate your help!

                        I reinstalled all system and now its works. I think that's a bug.
