Computer with the same name ?

You are going to have to provide more details, because what you are saying doesn't make any sense.
How would the firewall cause the pcs to register a duplicate netbios name? I'm confused. -
sorry for my english
yes i think pfsense duplicate netbios name ,i use pfsense in vmware 5.5, i install pfsense 1.0.1, the load balancing and fallover work fine but i have netbios name problem, for a test i install (no upgrade ) pfsense 1-2 and i have the same problem
perhaps :
lan "netbios name 1"–> pfsense (bad nat , routing ?) --> "netbios name 1" but another ip --> lan :error netbios -
I'm sure the error is due to the install under VMware, but I've never tried a virtual install, so I'm not much help. I'd just put it on a separate physical box, but there is a virtualization forum that might be a better place to ask about running under VMware.

thanks for your help, i go to put my question in virtualization forum

hello , i install pfsense 1.2 in a computer (P2/128/3 nic) and i have a some problem
please help me -
How are your interfaces configured and connected? I'm having a hard time figuring out how the firewall could cause machines to register duplicate netbios names.
-
interfaces :
wan : 192.168.30.13 –-> gateway 192.168.30.1
lan : 192.168.1.1
opt1 : 192.168.0.227 --> gateway 192.168.0.1 -

Your routing table makes my head hurt… All interfaces are on private networks? Generally, your WANs are directly on the publics... What do you have the subnet masks set for? The table usually shows something like:
192.168.1/24 link0 whereas yours just shows 192.168.1 link0
Are any of your interfaces plugged into the same switch? -

yes all the interface is plugged in the same switch, it's error :-[ ?

Yeah, plugging multiple interfaces into the same switch is generally considered a bad idea. If you have a vlan-capable switch and use vlans, it might be workable. You just have the various 192.168.x networks running over the same switches and you pfsense is just directing between them? I don't really understand the layout. The traditional layout usually has the LAN connected to the client switches and the WAN ports connected directly to the WAN router.
