      pfSense has been, so far, an interesting experience.
      But my final issue to solve, before its really usable for me is…

      pfSense (LiveCD version) seems to be forgetting its settings
      after a reboot or shutdown. I can move the saved configuration
      to floppy, connect to Telstra, etc, and that's all fine.

      But when I reboot, I get this message...

      **LAN linc0 interface mismatch. – Running interface assignment option.

      Valid interfaces are :

      fxp0 aa:aa:aa:aa:aa:aa
      fxp1    bb:bb:bb:bb:bb:bb
      fxp2    cc:cc:cc:cc:cc:cc

      Do you want to set up VLANs first?**
      Blah blah blah…

      And I have to re-do everything again! Its like nothing happened!

      Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

      Anyone else experiencing the same/similar thing?

      Can you point me in the right direction?

          Well, I am using 0.95, but I haven't installed anything
          yet as I thought I can use it like M0n0Wall for testing.

          I guess I need to pull an old HDD out…

            Just to update…

            I downloaded ver 0.95c, and this issue has been resolved.
            It loads back all the settings from the floppy. :)

            Case closed :D
