Hi Juan, My recommendation would be to do the following 1. Setup another box get it up and running with the minimum config necessary to keep all your users happy, especially if they are paying customers or employee's. This will get them off your back while you troubleshoot your throughput problems with less pressure to get them back online. When you are sure that your normal box is stable, swap it over after giving users advance notice of the swap over, with an expected downtime to swap 1 PC out and 1 back in and reversed if unsatisfactory result. 2. Depending what NIC's you are using, I did use Realtek chipset Netgear NIC's for a while. These lasted about 1 - 2 years before slowing to a standstill. I replaced these about 6 months ago with Intel Gigabit NIC's. Loadbalancing Dual WAN's, 2x 8MB WAN connections. When I replaced the Realtek Chipset NIC's, 1 only was failing, but I replaced ALL 4, as they were all the same age and Unix is hard on NIC's. I didn't want the same thing to happen a few weeks down the track. 3. Clean install PFSense, configure the system and do a Config Backup for a later stage. Test the throughput on your new install, PC eitherside and confirm data transfer. On Gigabit NIC's I am getting about 100MB/Sec or more throughput (steady on a file about 60GB). 4. If you still have issues on the older system, it's not uncommon for those older boards to have PCI slots fail. If this is the situation, replace PC and start again. In Australia, it's easy to get 2 or 3 year old PC's, EX GOV, for $200 - $300 with 3GHz P4 CPU, 40 - 80GB HDD's (some IDE/SATA) and 1GB RAM. So it should be possible for you as well. 5. You might also consider replacing patch cables between NIC's and Router and PFSense. Eliminates the unexpected.

(1990's hardware can handle 70 users with modest throughput), but if you are curious - what are your specs? I was more wondering if you had a couple machines with malware that may be pegging out your connections state table, or some P2P users. Check your state table and make sure it isn't maxing out. And make sure if you have P2P users, that they aren't maxing out your bandwidth. Blank MTU in your config is fine - that means it will be at 1500 - which is the standard on most connections (at least in the US). You didn't answer if all was well when bypassing the pfSense box. If it is, then start segregating things. Try it with JUST your machine - pfSense - Modem, and see how that works... this is granting your box is malware free :) - if in doubt, grab an Ubuntu LiveCD (or variant) and boot it up on your machine to test.

RE: [pfSense Support] Balancing
Hi Josep, In the WAN and OPT1 NAT rules the ! symbol makes the reverse sense of the rule, (means that it is an inbound rule, where the rule without the ! is an outbound rule). The Last WAN and OPT1 Rule that applies to * Port and * Destination is the default rule which is made automatically. I found that by deleting this rule the system became unstable, so I made it the last rule. The LAN Rules also are in Outbound traffic and Inbound traffic for both WAN and OPT1 to pass through, although the default LAN rule should be placed as the LAST rule to be applied. (I will have to check the document and update it if this is not so). PROTO SOURCE PORTDestination PORTGATEWAY DESCRIPTION * 192.168.1.0/24 ***BalancerDefault When I wrote the document referred to below, the Rules where take from an actual working PFSense Firewall.

RE: [pfSense Support] Re: Booting problem
Hi db, I did a fresh install of PFSense last Monday (in Australia) when it was released. I have not had a problem with installation or booting with the problems that you are experiencing. My suggestion would be to download the ISO again from another mirror, just in case their image has become corrupted. Normally a Hex error message may either indicate a hardware or software problem and a given location, but seeing you have installed another O/S, then I would suggest that it may be your ISO. If you press the Pause Break key when it starts to run the garbage hex, will it pause so that you can get the start of it to find the address of the error to assist in diagnosis?

RE: [pfSense Support] Re: Booting problem
Hi DB, Just had another thought that you may want to run a MEMTEST86 on your system to make sure that your RAM is ok and that it does not have a minor problem. If you have not used MEMTEST86 before, it is a bootable CD and only about 5MB ISO and can take from a few minutes to a few hours to run. RAM problems can make all sorts of strange errors. If you choose to do this test, it is an autostart and unless you halt the test it will continue indefinitely. Normally the test when run once completely and show OK, further tests may not make any difference to the results. This diagnostic utility is FREE and works well with all RAM types, except it does not recognise VGA RAM, unfortunately.

RE: [pfSense Support] Re: Booting problem
Hi DB, Have you been able to install PFSense on that machine at all ever? As it sound more like a hardware issue or incompatibility with something in your hardware arrangement. However, it is not uncommon to have new RAM fail out of the box. I have experienced that before. It will at least confirm that you have known good RAM. What other Hardware is in your system and brands and chipsets etc, so that anyone else may have an idea if it is an incompatibility problem that you may be experiencing. So then be able to give you some sound advice. I had a customer a few years ago that was using a propriety system and tried to run a Linux version on it, but had similar issues, it happened to be the system. And hardware incompatibility with that O/S. Does it appear to be doing a memory dump and unloading or is it continuing to load? What happens after you see the hex, does it eventually reboot by itself or just hang?

The update is in the updates directory on the mirrors (or will be within the hour) with the filename: pfSense-BETA3-update-for-random_id-and-blank_rule-issues-on-embedded-and-ful l.tgz --Bill - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- No virus found in this incoming message.

RE: [pfSense Support] pfSense Beta3 available
Hi Bill, Yes it is during boot, Network for WAN and OPT are up then they are pulled down during Hardware load, then after that Bad Monitor IP Error MSG, then loads the LAN, WAN, OPT and firewall rules etc. There is no record of it in the System Log, and it does not seem to be a problem. Don’t mind me, I'm a bit of a perfectionist. If I supply a PFSense box to customers then if they watch this they may start trying to fix things but make things worse. Is it possible to boot PFSense step by step asking to confirm so that I can get the exact point it occurs, if need be?

Sorry Bill, but they are of Beta 3 as I took them this morning when Scott asked for them.

I suspect your issue is related to bugs pre-beta3 in the load balance code. Can you delete your pools and recreate them?

[pfSense Support] RE: Attention MultiWan and Load Balancing Users!
Hi Scott, PFSense Version Beta2 Full Install 2WAN + Lan Myself being a MultiWan and Load Balancing User I thought that you may appreciate some feed back. I first did the CVS update on the 19th or 20th March when you announced the changes. PFSense box already configured, as a working load balance. I created the Static Routes and checked to use the Interface as a GW. (I remembered seeing this available in the Snapshot Releng 03-10-2006, it didn’t work for me then). I had to reinstall to be able to continue business for the following day. I retried the newer CVS update 03-20-2006 and re-setup the Static routes for the Interfaces and DNS addresses per Interface. But it made no difference to being able to Fail-Over DNS. I associated this to be a conflict with my working DualWAN (Round Robin). Reinstalled for next work day. 23Mar06. 3.30AM I reinstalled PFSense and did an update via cvs_sync.sh releng_1. This produced a couple of errors at the end of the update, failed to open debug in path /usr/local/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20020429/ I went looking for the file manually via the CVSTrack but found that the reason why it could not open the file is that it had not been updated. I presumed that this was known and I continued ignoring the error MSG. SETUP Load Balance + Failover I first setup the Interfaces to allocate IP Addresses. I then setup the Load Balance I setup the Static Routes allocating the Wan and Opt interfaces as Gateways I then configured the NATs for all interfaces Then the Firewall Rules for All Interfaces Results: There was a Failover of sorts, the remaining interface would not resolve the URL immediately but with coaxing a couple of times it would eventually find the page. Modifying NATs and Rules made no positive differences to the viewing of any page. I then left the PFSense configured with the DualWan Load Balance + FailOver ready for work at 5.15AM. When Staff began work at 7.15AM the PFSense box was not passing traffic in any direction and could not ping any outside IP or host from the console. A restart was performed and tried again. Again the traffic only flowed for a short time period before stalling. To continue operations for the day, a complete reinstall was done reconfigured by using a restore of the working config, but this did not pass traffic (seems to be a problem in Beta2 for some reason as I have tried this a number of times with the same results, it unsuccessfully restores). Another reinstall was done and manually configured DualWan Load Balanced, NATTED and Ruled in 20 minutes. If it is any help, when I next do a DualWan Load Balance + Failover I can send you a copy of the config in File.txt. I don’t think that it would tell you anything that you would not already be aware of though. But it may confirm in my mind that I have not forgotten or overlooked something. In case this has been an oversight, the Subnet in the Rules pages are Max of 31 not 32 as in all other events of the subnet. So a Static Internet IP is unable to be selected to create rules for. If it is intentional, then you must have a reason for it. Anyway, thanks for a great Firewall. BTW, Endian announced their release yesterday and the Features are not half as good as PFSense. I looked at theirs before I discovered PFSense. Now that I'm here, I wont use anything else. www.efw.it Kindest Regards, Craig Roy Horizon IT Consultants [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.

[pfSense Support] Dynamic DNS Client setup for DUAL WAN
Hi All, I have now managed to get working DUAL WAN (partially), so far its not a fail over Link. I am having an issue with no DNS to resolve names when WAN goes down. Will allowing full inbound NAT to the opt interface allow the use of my ISP’s DNS pool? OR Do I have to setup Dynamic DNS Client regardless to make it so that when WAN goes down OPTxx will continue to have access to a DNS pool? Also how do I go about setting up the Dynamic DNS Client? (I am waiting to find out if my ISP will allow me access to their DNS to negate having to use a third party DNS Host). To assist in this project, I will make a tutorial in configuring Dual Wan Load Balancing when I have got the DNS working correctly for both WAN and OPT interfaces.
