      Looks like it supports a bridgemode (PPPoE/DHCP mode on top of that screenshot). The best thing is to use this so the pfSense gat#s a real public IP at it's WAN.

        Thanks, but I have a problem with DSL router - with static, PPPoE or DHCP address for pfbox's WAN interface I haven't Internet access. Now I'm using WAN MAC spoof option to gain access. Of course I tested it with DMZ option, but realized that I cannot ping from WAN to public network ???

          Try to reboot the DSL-Router or power it down for some minutes. What kind of connection do you have? DHCP? PPPoE?

            I'd restarted it a couple of times (I'm a former LAN technician) ;D
            There's no arp request from WAN nic (I tested 3 differenent nics) - arping from other machines, connected to routers' switch. Yes, these machines have different IP addresses to eliminate potencial IP conflicts.

                public static IP address

                  public static IP address

                  Regardless of a static IP, you still have to be using one of those protocols to connect.

                    Nevermind, now I'm having access with HEAD version about 3-4 days ago from the repo. Realized that even I've perfect physical connection with router there's no outgoing traffic to him from pfbox. Of course, I tested with another WAN nics with better quality - 3Com -TX|NM and Intel 10/100/1000. Maybe there is some incompatibility with the router ::)

                      Maybe you need a crossovercable to connect to the router?

                        Tested with it already. Every router from that class has Auto MDI/MDI-X, and this is not important for the case. Everything is fine now with HEAD version.

                        Now I have 2 offtopic questions - has project a wishlist for future options and a bug's history, including all problems (not their fixes) from a project's first version to now? I've already checked timeline, there's a huge database of tickets which I cannot explore one by one?

                          CVS Trac is the only option but there are some bugs that have been corrected without opening tickets for them. So only looking at the tickets won't help you unless you read the commit logs as well.
