CP, trying to setup dual LAN, need guidance

stephen

::)

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.

stephen

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

hoba

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

stephen

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.

hoba

What version are you running?

stephen

1.0.1 full install

hoba

Then I'm out of ideas :-\

stephen

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

hoba

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

stephen

~~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!!

hoba

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?

1.0.1-SNAPSHOT-02-27-2007
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

i miss you setting up the rules for opt1 interface to access the lan or internet
for the lan interface these rules are there by default
you can copy the default lan rule to the opt1 interface and edit it to use the opt1 interface
