      I'm getting this in logs allot..

      kernel: vr0: rx packet lost
      …
      last message repeated 62 times

      Do I have bad hardware? I also saw this error at my house during testing. I use wireless at home so I thought it was just a random drop when I saw it in testing. But now that I have pfsense installed at colo I'm getting this error again. pfsense is only doing about 1-2mbs in traffic I should not have packets getting lost yet? CPU use is 20% and Memory is fine too.

      What should I trouble shoot next? Should I move off vr0 and try another port see if that helps?

        Sounds like some hardware problems. Not sure if it is related but try the following option at system>advanced (very bottom):

        Hardware Checksum Offloading
        Disable Hardware Checksum Offloading Checking this option will prevent hardware checksum offloading. FreeBSD sometimes has difficulties with certain drivers.

        Do you also see errors at status>interfaces?

          LAN interface (vr0) 
          Status up 
          In/out packets 13038325/13226197 (3.57 GB/188.32 MB) 
          In/out errors 2513/0

          State table size 2410/10000

          I will Disable Hardware Checksum Offloading. But from watching startup it's not on for these two onboard ports.

            Not sure these nics even support it. Checking cables and switch might be a good idea as well.
