      Your interfaces>opt1 config must be invalid. It calculates the values from what is set there.

        Ok I set it correctly there except after I go to DHCP server->OPT1 it disappears and reverts back the set IP range.

        Heres more details from the interface status page:
        rl1 LAN
        Status  up
        IP address  10.0.100.1 
        Subnet mask 255.255.255.0

        rl0 OPT1
        Status  up
        DHCP up 
        IP address 0.0.0.0 
        Subnet mask 255.0.0.0

          Why did you set opt1 to dhcp? It doesn't get a lease. There doesn'T seem to be a server on that interface.

            Hm, well that would make sense, now wouldn't it!  Maybe you can append a note to that page, "if you're trying to setup a DHCP server on this interface, select static"

            I should be good to go after a little more tampering, thanks for all your help.

              That option is for dhcp client, not as dhcp server  ;)

                ::)

                Ok, ran into another snag.  I've got the access point all configured correctly so its on 10.0.200.5, I can access from the LAN it and it passes thru CP, now the next item on the agenda would to make CP work on OPT1.  When I try to access the net from my laptop it says it can't find the server, although its connected properly and has an IP address (10.0.200.244).  I can access the access point config since I setup 10.0.200.50 as an allowed "from" ip in CP.

                Any ideas?  Its probably something simple I'm just overlooking as I did before  :-X

                Edit: I can also access the CP page (http://10.0.200.1:8000/) from my LAN.
                Edit 2: I have a rule for OPT1 also set, from OPT1 subnet to any.

                  Make sure clients at opt1 are using the pfsense opt1 IP as dns.

                    Yep, the access point is configured with dns and gateway of 10.0.200.1, double checked my laptop and it confirms this.

                      Try to delete the allowed IP OPT1 IP. Not sure if this prevents the redirection to the CP page.

                        Hm, ok removed the allowed IP in CP.  Still isn't forwarding to the CP login page.

                        Another note, can't access http://10.0.200.1:8000 from OPT1 but can from the LAN.

                                Ok another idea, disabled CP and I still can't get out to the internet from OPT1…  I'm close, I can taste it.

                                  Try to reboot, maybe something broke somewhere in between the misconfigurations.

                                    Another question before I do though, what should the gateway be set to on OPT1, the same as the LAN one?

                                    Edit: getting traffic thru OPT1 after the reboot, no gateway set on OPT1 now also.

                                    Edit 2:  ;D yay! its working!!

                                      Yes, you shouldn't have a gateway unless it's an additional WAN.

                                        Sorry for warming up this old thread, but i have the same problem.
                                        I'm using the latest snapshot - my setup is:

                                        WAN - DHCP
                                        LAN - 192.168.1.1 - DHCP Server on
                                        OPT1 - 192.168.2.1 - DHCP Server and Captive Portal on

                                        Traffic from LAN to WAN is no problem. But when i'm connecting on OPT1 and enter f.e. "www.google.com" in my browser, there is no redirection to the Captive Portal page. If i enter "192.168.2.1:8000" the Captive Portal page ist perfecly shown up an the auth works also. But no connection to the internet.
                                        DNS Server for the clients on OPT1 is 192.168.2.1
                                        I tried reinstalling pfSense but this didnt work either.

                                        any ideas?

                                          Please specify latest snapshot including version and builddate. We have resynced the CP just yesterday against m0n0's code. Are you already running that version?

                                            built on Wed Feb 28 10:30:50 EST 2007

                                            Edit: Installation was performed with the 02 25 2007 snapshot and then updatet via webinterface

                                            Edit2: I tried a complete reinstall with 1.0.1-SNAPSHOT-02-27-2007 built on Wed Feb 28 16:56:55 EST 2007
                                            with the same result - i think i forgot something very little…but what...?

                                            Here my steps

                                            1. Start PC with pfSense Live CD and assign the interfaces

                                            • LAN 192.168.1.1 - DHCP on
                                            • WAN DHCP (in my test setup 192.168.178.35)
                                              2. Install pfSense to Harddisk
                                              3. Deactivate "Block local..." on WAN interface 
                                              5. Activate OPT1
                                            • OPT1 192.168.2.1
                                              6. Activate DHCP Server on OPT1
                                            • Range: 192.168.2.100-254
                                              6. Activate Captive Portal on OPT1
                                              7. Result = failed as discribed above
