The GUI for pfsense is all web based, so there's no desktop GUI thing running in it.

I do think your NIC should be supported in native mode CSU1, would be odd if it weren't. Do you know what brand/model it is? The message you got that the WAN interface is not up, means it has no connection to the ADSL modem. You have to configure the WAN with your type of Internet connection - PPoE, static or whatever. Typically, a firewall like this needs 2 NIC interfaces, one connected to the WAN, and one connected to your internal network.

It's a Advent 4489 mini notebook one on-board mini-PCI card, the only reference to the card in Windows is that it's a Realtek card and I can't seem to find specs for it on the web, I'll open the notebook if I must to have a look.

When I try to install PFsense only one adaptor is listed 're xx xx xx xx xx' which I assume is the realtek card...I dunno I'm fed up with it now

I would have thought Windows would be giving away some of the older software for free like Windows Server 2003 or 98' ...

The Toshiba equim has a compact flash slot I could make use of if I picked one of those CF to Eth0 adaptors, maybe this would be the easiest solution with two ethernet ports, plus side to this box is it runs at 3ghz cpu, so it would make a fast server.

Thanks arco, I'd never have thought of that

I'll be back!

double post; sowwy

Ok, since the only boxes I have are notebooks and supported mainly by windows drivers(Ubuntu has partial support)I may have to go down the Windows Server route...

At this point I'd preferre to stick with Windows as I understand the basic concept of services and am able to use the management console to apply group policys etc(Linux since day one has left me lost at the best of times for lack of such a managment console).

Question is, what free Windows servers are available? if none what Ubuntu/server combo could I use?

IPcop and all the above systems require a clean HDD and I don't have the time and don't see it feesable to start cloning my factory partitions to find out that the software might not support my box in the first place...

So, Ubuntu Server or Windows Server?

Quote from kingfag :

Well to be honest, i would get a normal system with some good brand ethernet adapters. Even a stone age Pentium 3 will be sufficient.

You could give IPcop a try, that one is linux based.

...ya , it doesn't help when the only boxes I have are notebooks, ten of the bloody things!

Im giving IPcop a whirl

Quote from kingfag :

Does it actually detect the network adapters?
I've had some issues before with the install wizard, just don't bother and configure them by hand (if it detects the network adapters of course).

...been on irc this past hour. it detects re xxxxxx but can't "link-up"

my mini_PCI card might not be supported in the stable version , so im testing 1.2.3 atm.

What other options do I have running on a notebook with only mini-pci and USB?

...maybe I need to use some older hardware, atm I'm trying to setup with the advent 4489 mini notebook, it has a mini pci card which does not seem to be supported(:

Quote :

Connect the WAN interface and make sure the link is up>

No link-up detected

I've tried it with two other USB network adaptors and no joy...

info on PF defense's forum I can not find relating to my problem, seems hardware support/drivers are few and far between...

Meh, seeing as how Ubuntu supports the mini pci card I wonder If I could use guarddog or similar to manage iptables, but this limits me to only a few options for deployment.

How does freeBSD differ to OpenBSD?

Am I pissing against the wind with this notebook?

cheers

..so what weight are the road cars in LFS modeled at?

Racing spec or that of the standard road going car?

..the OP makes perfect sense to assume working order of standard cars

Quote from amp88 :

Why do you need to use a dedicated PC rather than getting a router?

I suppose I don't need it, more of an inquisitive want. TBH I can't make head nor tail of iptables logs and i'm looking for something with which I can manage off site, the plan is to complete my looong contemplated plan of giving free internets away to my local community, I'll be going all out with a custom dish and rig in the attic or multi dish setup , think four dish's back to back with a whole cut out in the center of each one and a reflector at each focal point bach to the card...all because antenna are well... too darn tall

sorry you asked?

looks sexy!

Thanks a million...

*starts his Friday night drinking excursion*

I try it later/in the morning as the aforementioned two softwares took all my time

I need to use a spare PC as a dedi router/firewall and currently I'm in the process of dualbooting OpenBSD which is a bit tricky to use for a noob like me.

I've also tried Linux Live CD Router but that did not work out so well...

Does anyone here have any suggestions for me too which free softwares exist?

TY.

Nice team tag.

oh man oh man lmfao!!!

Reformat your HDD and reinstall XP

Did it work?

Quote from GrIp DrIvEr :

I am trying to find what the KA stands for. Someone jokingly said it stands for kick ass.

I wonder if Kaiser Engineering Inc has something to do with it, I see Nissan bought Kaiser Jeep years back and from what I can tell Kaiser Engineering Inc seems to be into everything from building planes to truck springs to health plans, also KA is the abbreviation for Kaiser Engineering Inc.

more than likely I'm wrong though

Hey guys! Im having trouble setting up wireless on Ubuntu 8.10! Can someone help?

Quote from master_lfs.5101 :

Will contacting dell support do any good? Also I will check the Ubuntu forums, I have been messing around with NDIS wrapper but gotten nothing so far.

Contacting Dell will result in he answer; go to http://www.ubuntuforunms.org

...I may as well ask, what wireless card you got?...

Quote from DHRammstein :

There are programs that can truly format a disk right? Don't they write over the drive several times to burry info or something, like to the point the CIA would fail to mine it for data?

...I suppose it depends on what you need to hide and how big it is, rarely is it practical for businesses to adopt the method of data disposal in this way with HDD's, backup media is super cheap and those tapes hold colossal TB's and burn in a jiffy

As I understand it with file deletion and viruses in containers .exe .rar .zip etc. I don't think they can sit dormant in a kind of undeleted state until called upon...hence the need to be sure that your format burned the nads offof the HDD to get all them nasty's, na , a reference to the mal file will still exist but it can not interact and load to memory, can it?

...I am an extreemly paranoid person by nature, kinda like lerts on a normal day, anyone here can me tell their OS is secure here? Prove it?(and I don't mean firewall records for the last thirty years, XP professional only - resultant set of policy please

Quote from Supaheli :

false advise u say...he did say that his hdd was infected did he not ?.....cure for infected hdd NEW HDD dont tell me that im giveing false advise these days thats what u do well i do anyway theres not point in even trying to cure an infected hdd

Quote from Supaheli :

im not trying to give bad advise or nothing but even if u think uve cleaned up ya hdd u sometimes havent any malware virus or trojans (wooden horse with men inside) have a tendence to rename themselves if played around with or u reinstall os or even a fresh install depending how bad these things are advise given to me was buy a new hdd coz u shouldnt mess with it in the first place....see where im going with this...im only trying to help out with the advise i was given and not to give bad advise.


Supaheli

You are probably right. As pointed out above it took this guy hours to figure out what an iso image was and how to do this and that and learn about the different way's in which things work in puters. Hours lost in 'catching up' and downtime for the PC would surely equate to the price of a cheap HDD if you value your time at all, but there's no harm in DIY because you never know you just might learn something

@ danthebangerboy - you can install this and it asks you for your Windows CD and any service packs creating a fresh custom XP disc and gives you the option of removing components etc, http://www.nliteos.com/guide/

Or, winbuilder goes into a little more detailfor you http://winbuilder.net/help/#Overview

....is'nt the emphasis not on 'online' with LFS?

...there's no way any other release have the as many people supporting networking applications and tools, the sheer amount of options for server admins is content enough for decades.
Anyone know how much time was spent on networking? I imagine more time than physics?

LFS is bare-bones and boasts a ****ing good physics thrash for a cheap price, simplicity in place of resource draining bells and whistles is the order of the day around here ain't it

Not at all! Poetry can be about anything at all, and is always good when it is an expression of a personal experience because that meens it is something for you to remember that experience by, or that emotion, or that moment. It does not matter whether the poem is great for others, it's a memory. It doesnt matter if it's about a cigarette butt in an ashtray, if it expresses some part of you that you wish to hold on to when you look at that poem again.

...same with music as well, nice poem
