Possible Hardware problem…
-
I built a pfSense router today and the installation went smoothly, I noticed that when I connect myself to it via LAN that it keeps me connected for a few minutes, then it disconnects me. I've done a factory reset and that didn't work either. It was working last night but then it just stopped existing.
CPU: Pentium G3260
RAM: Kingston 4GB DDR3
1st NIC: Realtek RTL8111G
2nd NIC: TP-LINK TG-3468The pfSense machine is still running when this happens, I believe it may be the NIC since I heard Realtek may have problems.
:o :P

This isn't helpful for your current situation, but if you ever get the choice, just get Intel NICs.
-
Might want to try 2.3, newer base OS has some fixes in the Realtek driver.
-
Is this perhaps owed to a power saving option inside in the BIOS?
-
Maybe. Chipset would be nice to know.
Also: Post dmesg Please.
@devs: Does the pfsense-FreeBSD-kernel support alpm (Agressive Link Power Management)?
