      Does Load Balancing work without Traffic Shaping ?
      Further remember, that there are some protocols/ports which do NOT allow load Balancing.

      Do you use any other packages like squid an so on ?
      Which version/snapshot do you use ?

        No it doesnt work with disabled traffic shaping too :-( !
        I'm using the beta4 snapshot from 17.12.2010.

        As soon as i switch from default to the Main gateway group all internet connections stop working.
        Is there a bug in this snapshot version?

          I updated to snapshot-20.04.2010 but nothing changes…

          i get these information from system logs:
          kernel: arpresolve: can't allocate llinfo for 192.168.155.4
          kernel: arpresolve: can't allocate llinfo for 192.168.155.2

          These are the ip adresses from the gw_wan2 and gw_wan3 ...

              192.168.155.4 and 155.2 are two fritzbox routers for the A-DSL connections…
              Only Wan1 is in another subnet.

              Do i have to put the fritzbox routers in another subnet to get things work?
              Can't imagine that cause everything (except sticky connections and traffic shaping) worked fine under pfsense 1.2.3

                I have the same errors in the log, but my connections are not on the same subnet, Traffic Shaping is not getting more packages from VOIP

                Respect is Everything!

                  I've tried to set up traffic shaper with the wizard and got this message:
                  "There were error(s) loading the rules: pfctl: should have one default queue on pppoe0pfctl: errors in altq config - The line in question reads [ should have one default queue on pppoe0 pfctl]: …"
                  I am on 2.0-BETA4 (i386) built on Mon Dec 20 22:18:43 EST 2010 embedded (nanobsd) on Alix board.
                  I've 1 WAN , 1 wired + 1 wlan  bridged (bridge0 as LAN). My aim with shaper is to provide everyone a fair bandwidth to wan and do not let anyone to seize the whole bandwidth.
                  If the wizard doesn't create the default queue, how can I do it?

                    Hi

                    I have a similar issue with 2010-12-20 snapshot.

                    I have configured two WAN (WAN and WAN2) and setup a group in System=>Routing=>Group. I set "Tier 1" for the 2 Interface Dynamic Gateway WAN and WAN2, set "Trigger Level" to "Member Down" and saved the group. I have reported the group in my first rule in "Firewall"=>"Rules"=>"LAN", in  "Gateway" item. But if I plug off WAN1, WAN2 is not used and traffic is stopped.

                    Another issue. When I click on Status=>RRD Graph, I have message:
                    Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '{' in /usr/local/www/status_rrd_graph.php on line 243

                          Seems to be O.K. now.
                          Thanks

                            I have upgraded to snapshot built on Fri Dec 24 00:25:29 EST 2010

                            It does not work with snapshot built on Fri Dec 24 00:25:29 EST 2010. But I must have wrong configuration. I have read that in 2.0, it is not mandatory to create 3 routing groups. Is the document http://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/Multi_WAN_/_Load_Balancing still accurate for version 2.0 ?
