      Well i dont wanna do anything fancy. Have about 15 pc and need some of them to have full access and other only few Information portals. All will have to upd av soft and stuff like that. Ipcop seemed to be pretty simple in this but i couldn't set it up right. Have only one ip FROM ISP . Can accsess to web interface but no net. Attach it after my router to make another separated lan for test but all the same…. No net. I saw there is live cd with pfsence.. can i try it without uninstall ipcop? 
      Thank you for this quick response!

        the livecd works without installing.
        additional packages like anti-virus and proxy can only work on a full or usb install.

          If you tell us exactly what hardware you have we can give you some idea as to how well supported by pfSense it might be.

          If you have 1 public IP and use private IPs in your network then you should have little difficulty getting up and running, that's the default configuration.

          It's been too long since I used IPCop to offer any useful advise I'm afraid.

                  How much ram do you have in that box? It's old enough it might be low. 256MB is really the absolute minimum.
                  I assume it's the Hongzhou Silan card that isn't detected? That appears to be a Chinese replica of a Realtek 8139, itself a card with a very bad reputation. Rather than try to make that card function I would replace it.

                    Thanks for not gave up on me :)    You are right that lan card was the problem … When you said about the card i check the log i post here and I saw  "Link state (MII):
                    lan-1: negotiated 100baseTx-FD, link ok
                    wan-1: link status: unknown (MII not supported)

                    Change it with one old kingston and now Ipcop runs :D  try to run Pfsense on livecd to try it but have troubles setting it up. vlan assigments and crap ...  but still trying tho.

                    Thanks

                      When it asks 'do you want to setup VLANs now?' Just press 'n' and move on to entering the WAN and LAN interfaces. Unless you need VLANs of course.  ;)

                          It sounds like you have only setup the WAN. When there is only WAN ("one-arm router") then the webGUI (and everything) has to be done from WAN side.
                          At the console, you really should just need to select the device and enter IP address details for WAN and then LAN.
                          Post some console output of what you do.

                          As the Greek philosopher Isosceles used to say, "There are 3 sides to every triangle."
