      I am trying to install pdsense 1.0.1 stable on intel d915 based system with sataII hdd.
      One NIC is the builtin Intel pro 100 and second is rtl 8139.
      When I defineed the wan and lan interface it hanged on configuring wan interface screen I wait around 10 mins but no avail.

      If I changed the wan interface with lan interface then it go forward but again it hanged on different stages.

      I have to use fix ip on wan interface to.

      Please note that I have to use pfsense as a gateway in bridge mode and my clients will hit it on lan interface but with public ip. I want to use pfsense as a firewall and packet shaper.

      any ideas.
      Should I use the rc available to download instead of using stable version.

          On the forum it has been mentioned many times that the 1.2RC versions have more patches and are considered more stable than the previous full realease version.

          The PFSense blog states that 1.2 will be released very soon.

              So I should use rc4 or rc5 because the rc5 is also available. But the announcement says rc4 is the last release candidate for 1.2

                  unofficial.
                  So I should remain to rc4. Its the first time I am using it so I can't take risks.

                    btw there is a big difference in file size of rc4 at standard downloads mirorrs and http://snapshots.pfsense.org/FreeBSD6/RELENG_1_2/iso/
                    Which is letest. Some told me to get the latest version from snapshots.pfsense.org

                      No avail. I used the rc4 once it passed the WAN stage but after installing it to disk it only got random numbers (infact errors)on my screen. Then I again boot the system from live cd and it hanging again now even once it hang on LAN interface.

                          and its working fine.

                          Now I want to knw whats the difference b/w standard and developer editon.
                          And How do I upgrade to standard rc5 installation, Is it possible?
