@Spectrum do you suggest to delete this option in the lan network (re0)?

stephenw10

I'm only suggesting you delete any gateways defined on LAN in System > Routing > Gateways.

However it should be working as it is?

Spectrum

@stephenw10 sistem / routing / gateway have only wan . lan no longer appears. the pc is connected pero many sites can't access. i'm thinking maybe i need to see if it accepts both http and https. am i doing the thinking wrong?

Spectrum

@stephenw10 Unable to reach the site
Unable to find the IP address of the server of en.wikipedia.org.

Try:
Checking the connection
Checking the proxy, firewall, and DNS configuration
Running the Windows Network Diagnostics tool

Can you ping 8.8.8.8 from pfSense?

@stephenw10 ping 8.8.8.8 : 56 data bytes

Ok great try to ping google.com from pfSense.

If that succeeds try to ping google.com from a client on the LAN.

@stephenw10 pfsense shell google.com 3 packets transmitted, 3 packets received, 0% packet loss

Ok try that same test from a client on the LAN.

Spectrum

@stephenw10 how

stephenw10

Just run some pings from a client on the LAN.

The client cannot open web pages but pfSense clearly can reach external sites and can resolve DNS.
So either the client is being blocked (the default firewall rules should pass it though) or it cannot resolve.
Testing with ping should show that.

Try pinging from a client not from pfSense.

That second address doesn't appear to respond to ping so that's not a problem:

ping wikipedia.org
unable to find host "wikipedia.org". check correct name and try again

stephenw10

Hmm, well pfSense can resolve wikipedia.org but the client cannot. Is it configured to use pfSense for DNS?

By default pfSense will pass it;s own interface address to use for DNS via DHCP

Spectrum

@stephenw10 I didn't touch anything, I just did as you described. if you can kindly tell me where should I look for this dns thing?

stephenw10

Depends what the client is. Is it configured for DHCP?

If it is t should pull the DNS info from pfSense with the DHCP lease.

Spectrum

@stephenw10 how can I look at this information?? both to see if it is configured for DHCP?? and in case it is not configured ("If not, you need to pull DNS information from pfSense with DHCP lease")??
