        I downgraded to built on Wed Mar 2 17:47:38 EST 2011, but still I'm getting the same error. How to fix this?

          Had the same.
          Firewall - Rules - LAN
          Edit "Default LAN -> any", changed Protocol to Any, saved.

            Same here - last snapshot (Mar 3) has completely trashed my config.

              I solve this by editing all the rules which display empty field at summary for protocol column, in my case all those containing *

                But is it a problrm with hoe the latest snapshot reads the XML or how a previous version wrote it?

                  Little of both. It was an issue with an upgrade code bit I added to fix another issue.

                  If you gitsync and reboot it should be fine.

                  http://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/Updating_pfSense_code_between_snapshots

                  Or wait for the next new snap which is building now.

                    Meanwhile, installing an older snapshot and then using the Config History tab to restore a pre-update configuration will fix the problem.

                      Or you could move forward instead of back and make sure the fixes really work for you. :-)

                        Sure, but I believe you'd have to be on the fixed snapshot, which wasn't available when I last checked!

                          See above, re: gitsync.

                            The customer had no Internet access, so a gitsync was no possible; fortunately, he had previous snapshots downloaded.

                              They had no access from LAN because pf didn't load the NAT rules, from the box itself it would have been fine.

                                I appreciate the feedback, but had to fix the problem within a very narrow time frame (happened on a customer deployment); the idea of gitsync'ing did not occur to me (and when it happened, there was no indication on the forum threads that it had already been fixed, so a rollback really seemed the safe choice then).

                                I am really thankful for the work you guys have been putting on this, and - on top of that - that you still have time to offer support on the forum: amazing!

                                  I shall start coming here first and checking. Then proceed with caution,

                                  Perhaps there should be an open Red Alert Thread.

                                    The new snapshot is up now, so it's sort of a moot point.

                                      Yeah right - until the next gotcha  ::)

                                      Is this the "good" snapshot?

                                        Welcome to snapshot land. If you don't want to take risks, run the official RC1 image and not snapshots. :-)

                                          nice plan but the bad build was built on Thu Mar 3 17:43:05 EST 2011 and this thread was opened on Friday Mar 4 at 03:19:57 am…

                                          http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,33905.0.html is another fun experience for me and some others. I posted that at 12:13am but since I was so tired when I did this, the post is a little hard to read.

                                          But many thanks to Jimp. Many enterprise firewall providers would not have found and fixed the problem as quickly as you did. Kudos!

                                            I had to roll back to the signed RC1 tonight on my home Alix as I upgraded this morning and had the same issues.  It's bad when my Alix is blinking SOS at me.  From now on I'm only testing on my office's spare router.
