      Good morning to you all  :)
      I was wondering if you can help me out on choosing a pfsense version .
      I want to provide free internet access to a friends coffee shop.
      Up until now I have set up a 1.2.2 installation with captive portal using one ADSL line and it works just fine.
      Recently he has acquired a second ADSL line.
      All i need is to load balance these two lines and have the captive portal working.
      The captive portal uses local authentication. I dont need VPN, or content filtering or anything else.
      Just load balancing with captive portal.
      Do you think i should use a 1.2.3 snapshot or a 2.0 alpha snapshot?
      As i have read the load balancing "mechanism" has been replaced on 2.0 aplha versions
      http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,10407.0.html
      As for the "wan" interfaces themselves i have read here:
      http://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/Multi_WAN_/_Load_Balancing
      that they have to be in dhcp mode in order to work.
      I am guessing that they could work in static mode too.Right??  :-\ (what about pppoe? At least one of them…)

      Sorry for these many questions...
      Best regards...  :)

        Do not use 2.0 alpha in production.

          Search the forums especially the one that are for reporting problems to find how to enable CP on 1.2.3 and multiwan.

            I think ermal is referring to this post http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,13844.0.html
            Maybe I should add it to fit123 package.

              Thanx for the info guys  ;)
              I have installed the RC1 and got load balance working, but captive portal was not working.
              The login page would not show.
              If i enter http://pfsenseip:8000 i can see the login page and proceed from then on normally.
              If i disable the captive portal everything works OK, but the captive portal is a must and i need it.
              Besides this how can i apply this
              http://cvstrac.pfsense.com/chngview?cn=26872
              to a 1.2.3 installation?

              REgards..  :)
