Installed but no internet

Looks like you are all set. Just set the pfsense WAN port to PPPoE and provide your username/password there.
The modem/router you are using now will have to be placed into bridging mode.
-
Ah, your in the UK, same as me.
You should be good. :)
Xilo look like a good company, that's some pretty nice customer support.Steve

Yep in the UK and Xilo are great - Got an update;
Turned my router into modem only mode and it dosen't do auth when it is in that mode so i filled in the WAN screen in pfsense with my username and password in PPPoE mode and this is what i get on the interface screen now.
BUT still no internet just times out, i am sure i must have missed something out?!
Any chance i could see your config Steve?

You neglected to post "what i get on the interface screen now." You might want to preview posts first.

I didn't just the upload site is down….working now :)

Your gateway is wrong. Have you set that manually? It should be receiving that from Xilo.

Your WAN has a Gateway of 192.168.33.254. No way that can possibly be correct. How did that get there?
-
No i didn't it set that itself.
-
It seems to be some sort of hangover from your original configuration, in your second post.
Try setting it to static, removing the gateway, saving and then reverting to PPPoE.Steve

If that's a leftover, I'd call that a bug.

Me too! ::) Not too many people switch their WAN type regularly.
You could check your system log, you should see the output from the PPPoE dialup process including the IP information given to you. Check that they are sending you a gateway.
If it comes to it you can manually edit your config.xml file.

Looks like you were right, hooked up a monitor and reset to factory defaults and look what i have now.
