      another way to install an hd image for a system that wont let you is to install pf on the hd you want it on, on another system, when the installer is done and says it will reboot, tell it no, halt the system, move the hd to the intended system, has worked for me every time.

        @wallabybob, I did assign the interfaces but I didn't know I had to go to the web-gui to set up DHCP before it would give out address. I'll give that a shot now. As for link-lights, I get them at both ends when I plug into one of the optional interfaces but I get diddly nothing from the LAN/WAN interfaces.

        @XIII, that's exactly what I did, worked great.

          dhcp enable/disable is asked during setup, you must have said no.

            @XIII I did the web-gui setup wizard after giving myself a static IP, now it's getting DHCP from the WAN and dishing out DHCP ok. So both optional interfaces work fine.

            From here on out I'll try to be a bit clearer about the interfaces.

            Currently, here's the status.

            fxp0 (assigned as OPT1) = not working. Link lights don't come on when cable is plugged in and system says it's down.
            fxp1 (assigned as OPT2) = not working. Link lights don't come on when cable is plugged in and system says it's down.
            fxp2 (assigned as LAN) = working, DHCP address are being given out properly now.
            fxp3 (assigned as WAN) = working, DHCP address is being picked up from network properly.

            Anyone have ideas on how I can get fxp0 and fxp1 working?

              glad that the dhcp/static issue is solved.

              plug a switch into it and see if the lights come on on both the switch and nic. if you are plugging it into another nic, you need a crossover cable otherwise it wont connect unless the nics have auto crossover capabilities. you dont say what its connecting to.

                @epyon_avenger:

                Anyone have ideas on how I can get fxp0 and fxp1 working?

                Suggest you post the startup output - it may report something significant about those interfaces. From web GUI: Diagnostics -> Command, type dmesg in the command box and click the Execute button.

                Possible the previous user of the system passed it on because two interfaces were dead?

                  @XIII I've got it connected directly at the moment, will find a switch to see if fxp0 and fxp1 require it, though fxp2 and fxp3 work fine directly connected.

                  @wallabybob Here's the dmesg output.

                    if tis to a modem its fine, if the others show up as fine when directly connected, one of the nics support auto crossover.

                    disable acpi and see what happens, that output says its not supported on the device.:

                      @XIII I've got ACPI disabled in the BIOS and during boot-up I've been choosing the option without ACPI. Is there something else I should be doing?

                        will have to wait for wallabybob as he requested the dmesg, i dont know how to read all of it.
                        doesnt look like acpi is being properly disabled

                          @XIII Here's a new dmesg when I enable PnP and ACPI in the BIOS, just in case that helps.

                            this is in the wrong forum, you are using 2.0 ALPHA
                            try a 1.2.3 release version, if that solves it post a thread in 2.0

                            2.0 is for testing only its not stable 1.2.3 is.

                              @XIII As I noted above, 1.2.3 ignores the console after boot, but if I need to get the topic moved over to another forum that's fine too. I still need to figure out if this is hardware or software causing the issue.

                              EDIT: Attempting to get 1.2.3 installed properly through some BIOS nonsense, will list results in a tic.

                                1.2.2?
                                did you try 1.2.3 with the method i stated?
                                since you used 1.2.3 and it looks like all 4 nics are the one i would say they are bad.

                                try to make them wan/lan instead of opt if that still doesnt work they may be bad. did the person who gave it to you say everything was working?

                                  @XIII Sadly all I can get from the guy who gave it to me is that "it was working when I used it last" which tells me a whole lot of nothing. I got 1.2.3 working through some blind keyboard magic. Here's the new dmesg output (ACPI enabled)

                                    Assigning fxp0 and fxp1 as LAN/WAN doesn't change them at all, still no link lights. Starting to look more and more like hardware I guess.

                                    EDIT: On a whim I bridged fxp0 and fxp1 to fxp3 (LAN) to see if that would help, now it lists their status as "no carrier" instead of "down."

                                      ok, do you need 4 ports? do they work with the factory riverbed image?

                                        I don't need four, though it'd be nice, as for the factory image it wouldn't do much because the license had expired. I didn't think to test all the ports before reformatting because it seemed like a given that they'd work. Obviously I had too much faith in the technology.

                                          so no way to get factory image (your using that drive?)

                                            it looks like pf sees all 4 nics, and that all 4 are the same type.
