      Hello I purchased two Intel PRO/1000 PT adapters for my pfsense deployment. I have tried straight and crossover cables between my two servers and either way I am not able to ping between the two. Are the PRO/1000 PT NICs compatible with pfsense? Is there a special driver or something that I need to get them to work properly?

      Server Type: Dell R240

        You don't need a cross-over cable for Gigabit. No special driver should be required.

        If you are trying to ping between them then I assume they are detected as interfaces and allow you to assign them and set IP addresses?

        Did you add firewall rules to allow pinging on the new interface?
