Packages for 1.2-rc2

unclebob

Just did a fresh install and all works fine except for packages. It reports that it cannot contact pfsense.com and to check ip,dns etc.
Is the index site down or is this a bug?

Sounds like either a DNS, routing or firewall problem.

From the pfsense host:

Can you resolve pfsense.com? "ping -c 1 -t 1 pfsense.com" from the command line
This should give you an IP, but will the ping will fail
Can you fetch a file from pfsense.com: "fetch -o /tmp/test http://pfsense.com/" from the command line
This should give you a file in /tmp, called test, that is the home page of pfsense.com

well I got around the problem.I found that when I run the modem in half bridge mode that this this happens.
I am adding the dns servers correctly and all machines behind are accessing the internet fine. I can also download the package list from pfsense.
In half bridge its setup to pickup an IP by dhcp on the wan nic and static IP when I set the modem normally. AS far as I can see thats the only difference as the modem still does dns forwarding etc on half bridge.
