The broadcast address is determined by your subnet mask. If it's not what it should be, you're using the wrong mask.

You're causing routing complications with that kind of a setup. Put LAN2 off of another interface on pfSense, and leave WAN2 connected to the Linksys (but change the subnet if you want to leave LAN2 as is).

That's not possible because of the way PF works, and won't change in the near future. You can use an intermediate NAT device on one of the connections.

just go to services >dhcp server and enter in open dns as dns servers worked for me

@brc0ld: Greetings I've just got an Alix board and put Pfsense nanobsd-version on it. Was surprisingly easy. Just ordered the book and should be getting it this week. Was wondering if anyone could help me with a good setup. Now I'd like to purchase a WLAN Router/AP(that has N) or similar.(Netgear WNDR3700 as example) This is what i was thinking of doing: -(Internet)-WAN(Modem/Router Combo provided by ISP)LAN-WAN(ALIX board with Pfsense)LAN-WAN(WNDR3700)LAN-(Gbit Switch)-(Devices..PC..NAS..Console etc) The Modem Router Combo is needed because the TV runs over that. I'd like to install the the squid package on pfsense and use it as a Firewall/Filter to all machines hooked up to the WNDR3700 before accessing the internet. I'd like the WNDR3700 Subnet to be different from the Modem/Router Combo subnet. With this setup i'd have a fast Gbit Lan and a filtered internet access. Would this work? Any recommendations? WNDR3700 alternatives? Thanks for the help. Does the TV you mentioned runs behind the ISP provided router? or it behind pfSense? If it's the former then your wireless clients is in a different subnet, otherwise they're on the same subnet. If I were you I'll just procure a wireless interface instead of an AP then assign a different subnet for the wireless interface, well that's just me. I've deployed a similar setup wherein I have multiple Linksys WAP54G AP behind pfSense + bridged Untangle.

Only the interfaces for which a gateway has been configured will show up.

You have asymmetric routing. Check "Bypass firewall rules for traffic on the same interface" under System > Advanced.

Oh, that's likely the same thing with a different symptom, with PPPoE your WAN is actually ng0 not the physical interface, and when you disconnect you lose "link" on that.

i'm running a similar setup as urs. just that the WAN connection still remains on pfsense 1/2 .. whereas pfsense 3 is doing all the Load Balancing work .. it would be nice to do dual PPPoE load balancing.. one downside to this setup is that u'll need to have port forwarding rules on both pfsense 1/2 in case if you want external users to get in your internal network..

Now that I think about it you are correct.  I created VIPs on PFsense for every address except the 62.114.15.29/28 address that I use on the WiFi.  So based on what your saying.  I guess I don't have an issue. As an FYI I did end up placing a check on the "suppress ARP msg when interfaces share physical network". I was thinking I may have been creating a packet storm or whatever its called but I'm guessing I'm ok. Jason, THANK YOU for your response and assistance.

Thank You!  :)

Yes such a setup should work without problem. In your diagram in building2 i would set the normal WAN to the fibre link and the DSL link as an OPT. In your building1 set the microwave link as normal WAN and the fibre link as OPT.

Hi Jerry, Yeah, I've previously tried all three you've mentioned :) I'm no expert either, but I do what I can. In all 3 cases, the response is negative.  My DNS queries are not being handed over to my local DNS servers AND on top of that, my Blue network has no (apparent) access to the outside world.

I do something similar with Vonage in a dual wan environment using failover only (no load balancing).  I have a LAN firewall rule to bind the source IP (or alias) of my Vonage ATA to the WAN connection using the appropriate load balancer pool as the gateway.  When both wan connections are up, Vonage uses WAN and everything else uses OPT1.

You can get these information per SNMP. Although you need another software or write something to interprete the information you retrieve.

actually figured it out. you have to save it with an interface name, and choose "add to pool"

Chris got back to me today and helped me setup manual NAT (Reverse NAT) to convince the OPT1 network that machines on my network were the IP the OPT1 (Private LAN) interface.  This allows me to communicate with all the computers on the Private LAN properly. Thanks Chris!

I think that it's all the same problem: http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,21991.0.html
