      In the dashboard, pfsense reports thar it is unable to determine whether an update is available or not.  Any suggestions where to look to resolve this?

      My network consists of a 2wire dsl modem acting as a nat to Internet.  The private side of the 2wire is the DMZ and the WAN interface of pfsense. The pfsense acts as a NAT to the private LAN.

      Thanks

          You know - I hadn't even checked that.  I will shortly.

          But, I can install modules from web-configurator.

            Check that you have a valid setting for the update server.
            Look in the web gui System: Firmware: Updater Settings.

            If there is no entry or it is set to a custom URL then select one of the 'Default Auto Update URLs' instead.

              That was the solution.  Thanks!
