<![CDATA[Pfsense 2.0.1 and Netcomm NB5 Plus 4 Rev2]]>Hi,

I have pfsence 2.0 running fine on a PC with 2 nics and a (Netcomm NB5 Plus 4 Rev2 modem) in bridge mode.

I have just purchased a mini ITX setup with 2 nics and installed pfsense 2.0.1 and then restored settings from the above machine, when I boot I cannot connect to my ISP.

Im using PPPoe to connect with the Netcomm modem in bridge mode.

As a test I tried a very old no brand modem and all works just fine. Once connected with the old modem I can swap in the Netcomm and it works fine, but does not work after a reboot.

PPP log does not seem to show much.

But I found this in the system log not sure what it means.

Jan 31 13:23:02 apinger: No usable targets found, exiting
Jan 31 13:23:04 php: : ROUTING: setting default route to 192.168.1.1
Jan 31 13:23:04 php: : The command '/sbin/route change -inet default '192.168.1.1'' returned exit code '1', the output was 'route: writing to routing socket: No such process route: writing to routing socket: Network is unreachable change net default: gateway 192.168.1.1: Network is unreachable'

Any ideas?

Thanks

I think I will stick to the new modem.

I have set the default gateway to the ISP IP. Now I dont get the error in the system log. But I dont think this was the problem as I still cannot connect.

Below is the output from the PPP log. You can see that it keeps timming out and at the very end you can see when I swap to the old modem and a connection is established.

I guess I will just get a new modem and try that, but its just weird that it worked with 2.0 and not 2.0.1.

Thanks

If so, you'll have to change your LAN IP and subnet.
