      Hi

      I have a computer with 5 ethernet ports and with pfSense 2.0.1 64-bit installed.

      How do I configure it so that I can create a LAN with static IP using the four ethernet ports and connect an ADSL modem to the last port?

      Thanks

      Bye

        You mean configure the 4 LAN ports as a switch? You need to use a bridge configuration.

        See my post here: http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,48947.msg269592.html#msg269592
