So, I really don't think it's a hardware issue. Here's what I would suggest trying. 1. Plug into the serial console. Reset to default. When setting up interfaces use autodetect. Don't plug in the cable until it tells you to. Just set up WAN and LAN. Apply changes and then try pinging an internet host that you know will respond. yahoo.com will, microsoft.com will not (you should see an IP address anyway if DNS is working). 2. Download the config file from your pfsense that is working as expected. Edit it, changing only the name of the WAN and LAN interfaces to vr0 and vr1, or as you like. Upload the config to your soekris box and test. If neither of the above works for you then I would have to suspect hardware troubles or serious user error. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: support-unsubscr...@pfsense.com For additional commands, e-mail: support-h...@pfsense.com Commercial support available - https://portal.pfsense.org
