        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.

              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?

                    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.

                      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.

                          Posted this from my pfsense box connection :D

                              Now i need to get some add-ons to do what i signed up for.

                              Web filtering based on mac address - is this possible
                              Web tracking - track what sites people have been on
                              Squid - Is this easy to setup?
