      first, 2.1-BETA1 (i386) built on Sat Feb 23 05:06:59 EST 2013 (nanobsd) on a 2GB CF


      no matter what values I enter, I cannot get the Single Lan Multi Wan shaper wizard to complete. It always kicks back either of these 2 errors. Quite maddening because I don't know what 30% of 'x' it's referring to. I have tried leaving the values blank but that is not accepted either.

      My goals are modest:
      -2 wan interfaces, both 50Mbit x 5Mbit
      -I have WAN1 and WAN2 in a gateway group (failover) setup - WAN1 is "tier1" and WAN2 is "tier2" so traff will route via WAN1 unless it is down
      -I'd like to prioritize SIP & RTP (VoIP) traffic above all else, and limit everything else to ~85% of the overall bandwidth

      am I dealing with a bug in the shaper here or just not understanding how to set this up?
      Is there I way set this up manually without using the wizards, if the wizards are broken?

        It works OK for me, on  Fri Feb 22 06:01:13 EST 2013 snap with the fix to is_altq_capable. I can make those messages come by purposely putting higher reserved bandwidth for Voip compared to the overall connection speeds I entered at the start. But it works fine if I put lower figures.
        You need to put the full link up/down bandwidths in on the 2nd wizard screen, with correct units selected, for WAN#1 and WAN#2.
        Is it something simple, like you entered 5 Kbits when you mean 5 Mbits?

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