Ok - the Realtek is part of the motherboard?s I/O panel and you have some sort of a PCI-e
dual-port card with an Intel chipset. I ran into a very similar issue with my Sophos UTM9
software appliance running on Ubuntu (a quad gigabit Intel chipset card) - The numbers of
packet errors would keep climbing up very fast. I switched to a Broadcom and that worked.

The physical machine has three NICs.
A Realtek one which is on the LAN and used to access the host for management purposes.
A dual port Intel one (Intel PRO/1000 PT) which provides the LAN and WAN interfaces to
the virtual machine.

Is it something to do with the virtual switch setting that permits/prevents multiple Mac

I realise this is completely off topic, but I think this list has a lot of experienced
networking people, so I am hoping someone might have a suggestion.
I have pfSense running as my firewall at home, running on Hyper-V. In case you don?t
know, it runs on FreeBSD. I have run it for a few years and really want to get it upgraded
to the latest. But when I do the upgrade doesn?t work because every packet in the WAN
interface seems to get lost, it just cannot send anything to the WAN. The LAN side is
fine.
I posted on the pfSense forums about this a long time ago. I got some questions about the
MTU, but it was fine
I was just wondering if you have any thoughts/suggestions/experiences?
Thanks
Rob
