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. --- Supratim Sanyal, W1XMT 39.19151 N, 77.23432 W QCOCAL::SANYAL via HECnet > On Aug 10, 2020, at 6:15 PM, Rob Jarratt <robert.jarratt at ntlworld.com> wrote: > > 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. > > Regards > > Rob > > From: owner-hecnet at Update.UU.SE <owner-hecnet at Update.UU.SE> On Behalf Of Supratim Sanyal > Sent: 10 August 2020 14:01 > To: hecnet at update.uu.se > Subject: Re: [HECnet] Off Topic - pfSense on Hyper-V > > Rob - The physical NICs - is one Broadcom and the other Intell? > > > > --- > Supratim Sanyal, W1XMT > 39.19151 N, 77.23432 W > QCOCAL::SANYAL via HECnet > > > On Aug 10, 2020, at 4:57 AM, Keith Halewood <Keith.Halewood at pitbulluk.org> wrote: > > Is it something to do with the virtual switch setting that permits/prevents multiple Mac addresses from the same virtual adapter? > > > On 10 Aug 2020, at 08:35, Rob Jarratt <robert.jarratt at ntlworld.com> wrote: > > ? > 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.
