      Hi, all

      I have a 4 lan box which running m0n0wall with WAN,LAN,DMZ configured. This box works well but I expreienced problem while replacing m0n0wall CF with pfsense CF for test drive.

      pfsense configuration

      WAN - PPPoE
      LAN - 10.1.2.1/24
      DMZ - 10.1.1.1/24

      policy

      LAN - allow Lan net -> any
      DMZ - allow DMZ net -> any

      Problems:

      1. This box have 128M RAM but some reserved for on board VGA, I received warning from web console about short of memory. Will this affect system stable?

      2. From lan IP 10.1.2.50, I can ping 10.1.2.1 and 10.1.1.1. But I can't ping 10.1.1.50 which works well if use m0n0wall. From pfsense web console, I still can't ping 10.1.1.50. Network environment remains the same, only gateway's changed from m0n0wall to pfsense.

      BTW. I am using pfsense 1.2.2 embedded image. Any idea? Any thing I should check first? I don't have any progress for several days.

      Thanks,

      Vincent Chen

        When I fall back to pfsense 1.2.0, the problem 2 is gone. All incoming / outgoing traffic become normal. Maybe there is still some issue in 1.2.2 release. But problem 1 still remains. Will memory below 128M cause me any trouble?

        Vincent,

          WARNING: DON'T USE PFSENSE WITH SYSTEMS WITH LESS THAN 128 MB RAM!

          Various problems can occur on systems with less than 128 MB RAM. It works fine under some limited circumstances, but is NOT supported.
