      Hi all, i am new to this forum.

      recently i installed pfsense 1.2.2 onto one of my old pc with 3 NIC. Going to set it up as a load balancer & shapper (2WAN 1LAN).

      I follow the document below to setup my pfsense but the load balance & failover is not working  >.<

      http://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/MultiWanVersion1.2#Using_the_pfSense_Wizard

      Load Balancer Status showing both line is online. However, the traffic only goes to WAN2 and WAN1 is not contributing to the load balance.

      For the failover, I pull out the cat5 of WAN1 and the internet still working. I connected WAN1 back in and pull WAN2 out, the internet is down.

      Can anyone shed me some light on this one?

      Here is my setup

      P DNS:10.0.0.1
      S DNS:192.168.1.1

      Allow DNS server list to be overridden by DHCP/PPP on WAN = Enable

      WAN1 (ADSL)
      Static IP:10.0.0.2
      Gateway: 10.0.0.1

      WAN2 (ADSL)
      Static IP: 192.168.1.133
      Gateway: 192.168.1.1

      LAN IP: 192.168.11.1

      Sticky connection = Disable (Do i need to enable it?)

        After playing around with the LAN rule and couple of reboot, both load balancing & failover is now working.

          I have three WAN setup and I can get load balancer to work properly but not failover.

          How did you setup yours? I hope you can help me. Thanks.
