There just is not enough detail to say why it's happening. Even seeing the output of the banner on the console menu would be more than we're seeing here. Going on pure speculation only gets us so far.
As below. Connecting a PC to sis0 (through a switch) will get an IP (10.0.0.100) however and through the web page I can ping external address's yet I cannot complete a connection to any external website. I will do a reset to factory defaults, get a laptop connected to the LAN and do some more testing. After the #4 reset what do you suggest as my next 3-5 steps? *** Welcome to pfSense 2.0.1-RELEASE-nanobsd (i386) on lulu *** WAN (wan) -> sis1 -> 192.168.0.73 (DHCP) LAN (lan) -> sis0 -> 10.0.0.1 OPT1 (opt1) -> sis2 -> 192.168.0.15 0) Logout (SSH only) 8) Shell 1) Assign Interfaces 9) pfTop 2) Set interface(s) IP address 10) Filter Logs 3) Reset webConfigurator password 11) Restart webConfigurator 4) Reset to factory defaults 12) pfSense Developer Shell 5) Reboot system 13) Upgrade from console 6) Halt system 14) Disable Secure Shell (sshd) 7) Ping host Enter an option: _______________________________________________ List mailing list List@lists.pfsense.org http://lists.pfsense.org/mailman/listinfo/list
