      This is the crash log. Im using 2.1.5-RELEASE (i386) by the way. I installed a ddr1 512mb pc2700 ram together with the existing ddr1 512mb pc3200. I dunno what happen, it was working fine this morning but tonight it already crashed twice.

          Any time I've ever had an issue with PFsense it's been hardware related.  For me it was a bad hard drive, but considering you're running 10 year old hardware (P4-2.66GHz) it could be any one of multiple things.  I would test your HDD and Ram for starters.

          I've never seen this log before, but there are some failures noted that may or may not be related to your crash:

            I think you may have a point, ive also experienced slow bandwidth output from rl1 interface. Could that be related to old hardware? Im thinking about changing my server(hardware), but i just want to make sure that its hardware's fault.

              Update: Its been running for 4 hours and not yet crashed. I'm not sure if its hardware issue.

                I think you may have the same problem I have. I think it's because apinger can't resolve an address. This fills up the log and consequently this fills up your memory and causes a crash,but I'm not one hundred percent sure on that.

                  Im also thinking that its because apinger has failed, for some reason my cable modem keeps on dropping.
