      Is there any reason to have routing dsl box between internet and pfsense? if not try to setup that in bridging mode. that ease up a little troubleshooting.
      atm i'm using really old version(built on Mon Jul 11 19:53:22 EDT 2011 ) waiting a good time to update. i had no problems with the older ones so i'm not waiting  problems when updating.

              Does your modem get public ip with dhcp or do you have static ip-addresses

                      What if you change pppoe to the pfsense? and leave modem to be only mediaconverter(rj45 to rj11)

                        thats double NAT
                        you should make double port forward too …

                        make pppoe dialed from pfsense, modem just on bridge
                        so NAT only on pfsense box, thats easier to troubleshoot then

                          What do you mean double NAT? i don't understand? how can it be so complicated in PF box, because when using Untangle BOX it doing just fine with a simple port forward…  :'(

                            I can't do that because i've 5 IPs from that modem…if i removed it, that should be too complicated for me to used other IPs..

                              I've got also 5 static ip's and uncontinous block, but in same subnet so i created carp vips for the "extra ip's" fifth one was given in installation point so there was no need to create fifth carp vip.

                              Please read howto's those are really selfexplaining. And if don't want go todo that way, fine it's your decision, but then i'm not able to help you any further

                                        you don't have to keep public ip in your modem, unless you want to connect that from wan/lan

                                        I tried earlier to say, that put anything what modem does into pfsense: pppoe authentication etc. so your modem is only a dummy media converter(from network jack to modem jack)

                                          Thanks bro,

                                          So if i make the authentication form PfSense server; can i put other server to the modem because my modem have 4 more free ports and i have 4 more IPs…would the server have their own public-IP for this setup?

                                            Why you need to put them to modem, pfsense can handle all of those, within hardware limitations.
                                            Just draw a picture where you show what you have and what you want. That helps a lot to "design" your network and setup pfsense.

                                            As an example(my setup):

                                            internet -- modem -- pfsense -- lan1- lan3
                                            
                                            5 static ip's all handled from pfsense, with previous setups i had only one(smoothwall didn't handle more than one, and pfsense handle as many as you want)
                                            
                                            Before i got 4 extra ip's i worked that every different lan(lan1, lan2 & lan3) natted with one public ip, now i have each lan with own ip + two different public ip's for server usage.
                                            
                                            All servers are in lan1 as my own lan. Servers use different public ip's than the rest of lan1.
                                            
                                            

                                            I wrote this up only for show, that pfsense is capable doing lot if set it up
