I seem to be missing something here. 

 

I'm trying to set up a multi-homed WAN set up doing round robin
balancing and failover. 

 

Here's what I've got: 

 

DSL Modem - Modem operates in bridged mode, static IP from ISP. 

Cable modem - Modem also operates in bridged mode, static IP from the
ISP as well.

Local NIC - Static IP and to be used to NAT local network across the two
WAN's.

 

I am attempting to do this using pfSense 1.2-RC1 and following the guide
from here: http://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/MultiWanVersion1.2.  After I
get the following work done: 

 

WAN (DSL): 

Type - Static 

IP - ISP provided IP 

Gateway - ISP provided gateway 

 

OPT1 (Cable): 

Type - Static 

IP - ISP provided IP 

Gateway - ISP provided gateway.

 

After I have the interfaces configured I should be ready to move on to
create the three needed pools as referenced in the guide above, but
here's the problem I run into while creating the first pool: 

 

Name: Load Balance

Description: Load balance two WAN's 

Behavior: Load balancing 

Monitor: First DNS Server 

Interface: 

 

At the interface box is where I have trouble and I can't make progress.
>From the drop down list I am only able to select OPT1 and not WAN at
all.  Now if I disable the OPT1 interface then I can select WAN, but so
far it's just OPT1 is all I can access.  Am I doing something wrong? 

 

Also, some background information on what I'm using here: 

Dell OptiPlex GX110

512MB of RAM

1GHz P3 

140GB IDE Disk 

1 Onboard NIC 

2 Realtek NIC's

pfSense 1.2-RC1 (RC2 and 3 both cause problems at the boot block when
installing, so I am sort of stuck here. 

 

 

Any and all help is very much appreciated.

 

Thank you,

Thomas
