Re: [pfSense Support] Cannot achieve 100 mbps Full Duplex (C2D, Intel NICs)
I did some more testing. If both the LAN and WAN ports negotiate 1000 mbps, i can run 100 mbps FD through the router. However if either or both the WAN and/or LAN ports negotiate 100 mbps, I can only run 100 mbps down and ~ 50 mbps up. Can anyone else confirm this?

[pfSense Support] Creative use of pfsense
I moved in the a crap area of Los Angeles. Because of my work needs, I decided to use Clearwire (Clear) with the 4G connection to get on the internet. The little clear device allows for 5 wireless connection to the hotspot. I thought I would use pfsense on an old laptop and use the wireless card to act as the WAN and then plug a CAT5 into the ethernet interface and plug that into my WRT160nl. Put of the reason for doing that is because the ClearSPOT device, although allow for forwarding of ports, does not allow for any QoS, and this is very important to me (afterall, how am I suppose to download all of my movies and at the same time, browse the web, etc.). The wireless device on the laptop is a prism2 card which I want to use as the WAN connection. So is that feasible, and if so, how does one setup the WPA2 credentials and make the connection to the ClearSPOT? -- Kim C.

[pfSense Support] scenario - need help
OK - here is something I could use some help with.
Local non-for-profit has 2 divisions - and also 2 ISP's
Their ATT connection is 2 bonded T1-s providing 3mbps
How the system is currently setup is they are using 1 ip for one division going
into an ISA server (microsoft) and another going into a linksys router using
another public IP
so -
ATT Router
|--switch ---
| |
ISA w/ public IP Linksys with Public IP
nicknamed RBC nicknamed RMM
|
|
network breaks out network
breaks out into 192.168.20.1/24 with one exchange system running behind
into two subnets
||
students faculty
What I would like to do is to add their new ISP to the mix as well as do some
squid caching
Any Ideas on the best setup here?
One last thing - due to the T310 server from Dell - we have to use the latest
2.0 Beta - since the 1.2.3 does not recognize the SATA Dell Raid card :-(
Also - the Dell server only has 2 Ethernet ports - so we will be forced to use
VLANS.
Client has purchased a TRENDNET switch 10/100/1000 with VLAN support to
complete this task
Thanks in advance - Really hoping to help them w/ a simple but effective
solution - they are required to keep the ISA system in place @ present since it
has active directory support and they do not have staff to make an upgrade easy
on them.
So here are my thoughts
ATT Router (Vlan2)switch New ISP(Vlan3)
|
|--pfsense port # 1 VLAN 2 and 3 for
incoming
|
|
|{pfsense system here
will run dhcp, firewall as well as squid caching and parental control)
|
---pfsense port #2
|
|
VLAN4
VLAN 5
192.168.1.1/24
192.168.20.1/24 (issues DHCP to 192.168.20.51 through 250 /24
RBC Network
RMM Network
|
|
|
|--goes to RMM Switched network
|
|
|
192.168.20.50 (exchange server)
|
ISA Server 192.168.1.2/24
|
|
|
-

faculty network student network
Where I am stuck is how to do the VLAN settings - or how best to setup
pfsense here...
Many thanks for your assistance ahead of time

Re: [pfSense Support] Creative use of pfsense
Chuck, I am running DD-WRT on the WRT160nl. What I am attempting to achieve is to setup the WRT to provide wireless access to my devices, as well as allow my servers to be connected to the LAN. I could use the WRT to bridge to the clear device, but then I would only be able to hardwire my servers, and not be able to use it as an AP for the laptops. More importantly, I am looking to implement QoS, hence me using pfsense as the go between. ClearSPOT --- Pfsense -- 160nl -- LAN Clients The only issue that I am having right now is trying to tweak the config.xml to bring up the prism2 card up as the WAN interface. I see the section on the wireless section, but at a loss on what I should be changing. blockbogons/ disableftpproxy/ dhcphostname/dhcphostname media/media mediaopt/mediaopt bandwidth100/bandwidth bandwidthtypeMb/bandwidthtype !-- wireless *see below (opt[n])* /wireless -- /wan !-- opt[n] enable/ descr/descr if/if ipaddr/ipaddr subnet/subnet media/media mediaopt/mediaopt bridgelan|wan|opt[n]/bridge wireless modehostap *or* bss *or* ibss/mode ssid/ssid channel/channel wep enable/ key txkey/ value/value /key /wep /wireless /opt[n] -- I think once I have that in place, I will be good to go...
