      Hello,

      This is my configuration :

      version RC1

      WAN = 192.168.1/24
      LAN = 192.168.0/24
      WLAN = 192.168.2/24 (=OPT1)

      Fix IP for all psfense interfaces = .1

      Cap. port. is active for WLAN interface.

      So, I am working without a real internet connection, so without DNS servers.

      CAp. port. is working fine with the WiFi connection if I call in a webbrowser the adress 192.168.1.1 (with is the local WAN interface, so I receive a login window for the pfsense login).

      Problem is that the cap. port. login isn't comming up if f.e. I use http://www.doesnmatherwithadress.com
      I know WLANIP:8000 is an option but I what it having working also for those users how don't know anything about the configuration/network.

      Someone an idee ?
      Thanks.

        You have to use the dns-forwarder of the pfsense for the wireless clients. Otherwise it can't redirect to the captive portal page. Set up your LAN DNS server at system>general and assign the wireless clients the pfsense wlan IP (done by default). Also uncheck "block private IP ranges" at interfaces>wan.
