      pfSense 2.0 is based on FreeBSD 8.1 so that guide is likely to be out of date.
      Try changing the settings and see if it makes any difference. Unless you set them in the system tunables page in the gui they will reset to default when you reboot anyway.

      What problems are you having with skype?

        I am seeing large delays and missing updates.
        One of the tests I ran told me that I packet out of order issues.

        With that I have been using a program on a desktop windows box called MyconnectionPC
        They also offer and on-line test.
        It has also indicated droped frames or what they are calling excess jitter.

        Next I moved on to namebench… While I do have a FBSD version, I do not know how to install it so, I ran the Windows version and it recommened different internet DNS servers to use and in what order... That did help.

        I am on an Elite AT&T DSL line with 6m down and 768k up.
        All these tests were done thru my pfSense firewall that is release 2 and with the latest updates.

            Just so happens the Windows box and the pfSense box use the same type of hardware

              Your hardware is easily capable of handling that bandwidth - I had a much lower spec box (single core, 1 GHz, maybe 1 GB of RAM, RealTek NICs) handled a 20 Mb/s link without any issues - including full Skype videoconferencing. This also suggests that neither pfSense or the basic hardware is the problem.

              I assume you've swapped it for something else to check that the problem isn't your modem or network cable?

                My Toshiba Satellite shows the same issues.

                The pfSense box is healthy.
                Funny thing is I do not recall having these types of issues when the same box was setup as a Wingate firewall system.
                All I did was swap the HD with a new one and installed pfSense.
                As for network cables…. 3 foot or less between all the major hardware in my rack.

                      I started using some of the settings I posted with the first post.

                      This first one appears to have helped with my Skype issues…
                      Tested with a friend was much better

                      You can raise the maximum socket buffer size by, for example:
                        sysctl -w kern.ipc.maxsockbuf=4000000

                      Adding this caused all sorts of issue including not being able to get to my web server behind the pfSense firewall. removing it and rebooting the firewall fixed it

                      The default maximum value is 256KB which is likely too small. These should likely be increased, e.g. with follows:
                          net.inet.tcp.sendbuf_max=16777216
                          net.inet.tcp.recvbuf_max=16777216

                      More to come

                        Interesting.
                        On my 2.0 box kern.ipc.maxsockbuf is already set to 4262144.
                        The -w option on the sysctl command is not needed. See here.

                        My own experience is that skype is far from perfect and below what I expect from my connection. Anything you find will be useful.
