        Putting it in bridge mode is the correct way. However firewall rules still take affect when in bridge mode. For example you can run pfSense in bridge mode and use it to filter traffic. I looked at the manual for the WAG54G and I recommend on the security tab disabling the firewall protection.

          Another thing you could try is using RFC 1483 Bridge mode instead of Bridged Mode Only. The RFC mode allows the WAG54G to make the PPP connection and validate your username and password. After that is complete it will pass the public IP from the WAG54G to the pfSense box.

                Im thinking … why in ppoe mode when i´m creating a NAT rule it apears (ext: ) and on dhcp it apears (ext: WanIp) ? it´s normal!

                  Yes, it's normal. All my portforwards at pppoe work and do show "ext:" too. It's only a cosmetic thing not showing an IP there.

                    there is an option on the wag54 "nat = enabled" it´s correct?

                    i dont know what to do … if I was on dhcp ... I´ll configure the DMZ ip on the router to the ip of the pfsense ... but ... on ppoe ... the wan dont have a Valid Lan IP ...

                    Tell me what are the defaults rules on the Firewall - Rules options to work...

                    ???

                    thank you all ...

                      This really is a configuration thing of the WAG54 and I don't know it. Maybe a really "dumb" pppoe modem with no features would serve you best.
