          The fact you are using i386 is not a problem. In fact your P4 doesn't support 64bit anyway.
          It's very odd that you don't have the dropdown to select the URL but it looks like you have the correct one anyway: http://updates.pfsense.org/_updaters

          Also attempting to view that page in a browser will always result in a 404, that's normal. There's no webpage to view at that address. It also doesn't respond to pings.

          What is the history of your box? Did you install 2.0.1 fresh or upgrade from an earlier version? Have you ever run a beta version/snapshot?

            My box started with v2.0RC then later upgraded to v2.0, then v2.0.1. When it was v2.0RC, I remember it was a snapshot and it's updated almost daily. After v2.0 it is stable and I don't need to update it.

            Anyway, what can I do now? If it is just a webpage issue, can I just update that page? Do I have to do a fresh reinstall?

              As I said it looks like it's already the correct base URL.
              Try downloading: http://updates.pfsense.org/_updaters/version
              It's a file that simply contains the version number:

              2.0.1-RELEASE
              
              

              More information on this here.

              Try fetching that file from your pfSense box:

              [2.0.1-RELEASE][root@pfsense.fire.box]/tmp(4): fetch http://updates.pfsense.org/_updaters/version
              version                                       100% of   14  B   38 kBps
              
              

              If that is working then the box is not looking for the right files. You may have to consider more drastic action.

                Really?  Seems odd that the snapshots would use a different method than just looking for release updates.  You can access the snapshots url with a browser just fine.

                So I am on 2.1 myself and if you click the update link you getting this

                A new version is now available

                Current version: 2.1-BETA0
                       Built On: Fri Jul 20 01:30:00 EDT 2012
                    New version: Thu Jul 26 07:30:02 EDT 2012

                Update source: http://snapshots.pfsense.org/FreeBSD_RELENG_8_3/i386/pfSense_HEAD/.updaters

                now if you look in where the update url is you see this
                http://snapshots.pfsense.org/FreeBSD_RELENG_8_3/i386/pfSense_HEAD/.updaters

                You can directly access that url with a browser and see this

                  Odd but none the less true!  ;)

                  No directory listing at updates.pfsense.org.

                    Mine is:

                    And when I try traceroute:

                    [2.0.1-RELEASE][root@pfsense.my_domain.com]/tmp(5): traceroute updates.pfsense.org

                      Well there's your problem.  ;)
                      Quite what's causing it is another thing.
                      Are you running Snort? (or have you ever run Snort?)

                      Do you have interet access in general from the box? Can you ping stuff?

                      Steve

                        ping from the box also has trouble:

                        [2.0.1-RELEASE][root@pfsense.my_domain.com]/root(3): ping 8.8.8.8
                        PING 8.8.8.8 (8.8.8.8): 56 data bytes
                        ping: sendto: No buffer space available

                        However, this box is in production and people in the office has no trouble to connect internet.

                        And I don't have Snort….

                          Common causes of this seem to be running out of mbufs. What does it say on the dashboard?
                          Common causes of that appear to be bad cable or NIC not seated correctly. That seems unlikely since forwarded traffic is still working fine.

                            What does your show?

                                Looks fine.
                                Try running netstat -m for more detail.

                                Though if it were that I'm failing to see how other traffic is still passing.  :-\
