LAN client cannot connect

Spectrum

@stephenw10 i try like this, but not working. can we do the step - by - step steps? I don't know what to do.

stephenw10

Do this:

 WAN (wan)       -> em0        -> v4/DHCP4: 172.21.16.133/24
 LAN (lan)       -> vtnet1     -> v4: 192.168.184.1/24

 0) Logout (SSH only)                  9) pfTop
 1) Assign Interfaces                 10) Filter Logs
 2) Set interface(s) IP address       11) Restart webConfigurator
 3) Reset webConfigurator password    12) PHP shell + Netgate pfSense Plus tools
 4) Reset to factory defaults         13) Update from console
 5) Reboot system                     14) Disable Secure Shell (sshd)
 6) Halt system                       15) Restore recent configuration
 7) Ping host                         16) Restart PHP-FPM
 8) Shell

Enter an option: 2

Available interfaces:

1 - WAN (em0 - dhcp, dhcp6)
2 - LAN (vtnet1 - static)

Enter the number of the interface you wish to configure: 2

Enter the new LAN IPv4 address.  Press <ENTER> for none:
> 192.168.100.1

Subnet masks are entered as bit counts (as in CIDR notation) in Netgate pfSense Plus.
e.g. 255.255.255.0 = 24
     255.255.0.0   = 16
     255.0.0.0     = 8

Enter the new LAN IPv4 subnet bit count (1 to 32):
> 24

For a WAN, enter the new LAN IPv4 upstream gateway address.
For a LAN, press <ENTER> for none:
> 

Enter the new LAN IPv6 address.  Press <ENTER> for none:
> 

Do you want to enable the DHCP server on LAN? (y/n) y
Enter the start address of the IPv4 client address range: 192.168.100.10
Enter the end address of the IPv4 client address range: 192.168.100.100

Do you want to revert to HTTP as the webConfigurator protocol? (y/n) n

Please wait while the changes are saved to LAN...

The IPv4 LAN address has been set to 192.168.100.1/24
You can now access the webConfigurator by opening the following URL in your web browser:
		https://192.168.100.1/

Press <ENTER> to continue.

@stephenw10 if you agree i start with a reset to factory defaults.
right after that i install realtek. after that i would like to do step by step.

stephenw10

You just need to set the LAN to a different subnet. I'm not sure how you managed to install the Realtek pkg with conflicting subnets like that. You can start over if you want.

Spectrum

@stephenw10 i try this. in the pc i see the connection icon called network5 but it says "network unavailable". i type 192.168.100.1 is it gets me into the web gui, i load another page like google and it doesn't work.

stephenw10

Ok, what does the console show for the interfaces now?

Spectrum

@stephenw10 wan re1 v4/dhcp4: 192.168.1.101/24 - v6/dhcp6: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
lan re0 v4: 192.168.100.1/24

stephenw10

Ok great.

Use console menu option 7 to try to ping out from pfSense to 8.8.8.8. Then test to google.com

If either of those fail what error is shown?

Spectrum

@stephenw10 "Unable to reach the site
Unable to find the IP address of the duckduckgo.com server.

Try:
Checking the connection
Checking the proxy, firewall, and DNS configuration
Running the Windows Network Diagnostics tool
ERR_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED" on pc when try google.com

side console putting 7 then 8.8.8.8 indicates 3 packets transmitted, 0 packets received, 100% packets lost.

stephenw10

Ok, great so pfSense cannot connect out.

So in the pfSense webgui check Status > Gateways.
I assume it shows 192.168.1.1 as the gateway?
Does it show the gateway as down?

Go to Diag > Routes.
Does it show a default route for IPv4?

Spectrum

@Spectrum wan WAN_DHCP6 (default) gateway: xxxxxxx status connect
WAN_DHCP gateway: 192.168.1.xxx status connect
LANGW gateway: 192.168.100.1 status suspended

stephenw10

@Spectrum said in Hardware driver:

192.168.1.xxx

That is a private IP address there is no need to obscure it.

@Spectrum said in Hardware driver:

LANGW gateway: 192.168.100.1 status suspended

You should not have a gateway on LAN. Go to Interfaces > LAN and remove it.

Spectrum

@stephenw10 -General Configuration: enable interface
-Static IPv4 configuration: IPv4 address.
192.168.100.1/24
IPv4 Upstream gateway: none
-Reserved networks: Block private networks and loopback addresses and Block bogon networks (not active).

What exactly should I remove from these?

Spectrum

@stephenw10 i find how to eliminate gateway lan.. and i do. but pc is offline, life before rete5

stephenw10

Ok upstream gateway is correct.

Go to System > Routing > Gateways.

Make sure there is only WAN gateway. Remove a LAN gateway if it shows there.

Spectrum

@stephenw10 now i see only wan, not see lan in the System > Routing > Gateways.

stephenw10

Go to Diag > Routes.
Does it show a default route for IPv4 via the WAN gateway?

Spectrum

@stephenw10
i see default re0 (lan)
i dont see default in re1 (wan)

but

if i see ipv6 .. re1 (wan) is default

stephenw10

@Spectrum said in Hardware driver:

i see default re0 (lan)

Ok, that's bad. That's why it's broken.

Set the IPv4 default gateway to WAN_DHCP.

The delete the LAN gateway.

Spectrum

@stephenw10 good morning. last night i turned off pfsense and unplugged the wan cable, today i turned on and plugged the cable in and it gives me connected. i went into the settings it said and it no longer gives me re0 (lan) as default. i don't know what is going on in my settings, but i am sure if i turn off or reboot now it will give me the problem again. how can i save these settings?

IPv4 route
127.0.0.X lo0
192.168.1.X/24 re1 (wan)
192.168.1.XXX lo0
192.168.100.X/24 re0 (lan)
192.168.100.X lo0

Now only in ipv6 I see the wan in default, like this:
IPv6 route
default xxxxxxxx%re1 re1 (wan)
