      I have a fixed IP address so I suspect that PFsense is waiting for an answer from a DHCP server. How do I go about this?
      Thanks

        Just wait until the DHCP times out.

        We do what we must, because we can.

            I still have the same problem with 1.2 RC4 LiveCD. Even after five minutes nothing happens. ???

            With 1.2 RC2 LiveCD it takes some time - but it works. :o

            I'm using two Intel PRO/100 Dual Port NICs. :P

            Any ideas? Thanks in advance! :)

                I have this problem too with my ALIX 2c2, WRAP 2e or VIA EPIA VE5000,  I use last 1.2 RC4 LiveCD (but I try embedded image too) boot is always hang when configuring WAN (my difference from Michaels configuration is Atheros based WLAN MINI PCI CARD ) :(

                When I configure vr0 or sis0 as WAN interface, then booting without problem but i need ath0 as WAN …

                Any other ideas ?

                  Same as I said before.  Grab the latest version from the snapshots.pfsense.org server.

                      In my case timeout timed me out. So I installed again, with no wired NICs. Then timeout seemed a lot faster.

                      Regards,
