Installing on a Firebox X700

GOBIGRED

Trying to get another pfsense box up and running but cant get it to install say "Found compressed image file
Write error after 0 bytes (8192)." tried 3 diffrent files anyone know whats wrong?

stephenw10

Where are you seeing that error? When writing the image to the CF card? Using what?

Steve

GOBIGRED

Yes

GOBIGRED

tried physdiskwrite

stephenw10

It can't write to the card for some reason.
The card is read only? The CF adapter is faulty or not installed correctly? The card is faulty? Some other reason….
You could try using Win32diskimager instead: https://launchpad.net/win32-image-writer

Would you be able to help me nat (Newbie here trying to do a 1:1 NAT and having trouble. All I am trying to do is NAT a single host to one of my 10 public IPS and cant seem to get it to work. I am able to RDP from and diffrent lan but cant see it outside the lan or even get to the internet from that machine but can RDP into it. Any help would be great

Thanks

@GOBIGRED:

This doen't see to have anything to do with pfSense installation or Fireboxes so please start a new topic in a more appropriate forum (perhaps General)/

In the new post it would be helpful to add some configuration information and clarify a few points:
@GOBIGRED:

I am able to RDP from and diffrent lan but cant see it outside the lan

This seems contradictory: how can you RDP into it a different lan if it can't be seen outside tha lan? (Guess it depends on which LAN you are talking about. A diagram identifying the differents lans would be helpful.)

@GOBIGRED:

or even get to the internet from that machine but can RDP into it.

Is a firewall rule on the adjacent pfSense interface could be blocking internet access. Is there a relevant entry in the firewall log?

Sorry about that i posted int he wrong section

Now on tho the nat 1:1 nat

public address 106.57.4.107
Lan host wanting to be seen public 10.8.16.100

From another lan in my network i can access the 10.8.16.100 (the server from a rdp connection)
but cant see it public
Hope this helps

Did you setup a virtual IP on your WAN for the external address?

Like Wallabybob said, this would be better in a new thread.

Nice! :)
The peak-e models are actually less good for pfSense as the CPU is not correctly picked up by the speedstep driver and hence they run much hotter. The Core-e has a Celeron which doesn't have speedstep but can be replaced by a pentium-m for very little.

Steve

Hi
My First Post… @stephenw10 I just purchased a e750x and you are say that the Celeron should be replaced with the Pentium-m. I don't know much about this but can you post which pentium-m model number so I can purchase it on ebay. I would like to have the speedstep feature like you mention....

thanks in advance

stephenw10

Hi, welcome. :)

The CPUs that are directly supported by the est(4) driver (and hence powerd for Speedstep) are the 400MHz FSB Pentium-M.
The Dothan core uses less power and has more on board cache:

The 735 and 745 can be had cheaply and the 725 and 715 are extremely cheap! All are faster and cooler than the Celeron.

Here's what I've actually tried:
