Tom's explanation is plausible, even probable - thanks Tom! For me there is no traffic flow at all, return traffic is just being silently dropped between fxp3 and ng0. Unfortunately, I can't change to GbE NICs, or I would; this particular system is "embedded" in the sense that it's a repurposed appliance with no external PCI slots, so it has what it has. I'll try turning off ToE in a few hours and report the results. If all goes well, I'd hope the 1.2.3 final version picks up the noted stable/7 change. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: support-unsubscr...@pfsense.com For additional commands, e-mail: support-h...@pfsense.com Commercial support available - https://portal.pfsense.org
