Guys, I'm really desperate:( Last week I replaced the Intel Dual NIC with a new one of the same kind (82546GB). For a week of low load (6kpps on average) I never saw a single error on the interfaces, but yesterday came the high load and it happened again. So I'm totally out of ideas. The main

We once had a similar problem and solved it by using multiport cards, so when the traffic leaves the physical card to be routed to another card there are more interrupts generated as when the traffic only is routed between the interfaces of one physical cars, we used 2-port or 4-port em0 and it

Hi, thanks for answering, I'm using 1.2.2 ( it scares me a bit to use a non-stable version in production). I do realize it might be a problem with FreeBSD rather than pfSense, especially that I saw a couple of related posts on the net(without solution). What I can't understand is how come a lot

Wow, thanks for the link and the advice. I didn't think that you would have to put an EXPLICIT rule just for DHCP on there. We have so many other hot things in pfsense, this would be a very hot idea for a check-box or some other means. On Sun, Mar 8, 2009 at 6:59 PM, Michael Schmitt
