      hi GruensFroeschli

      is aaa.aaa.aa the same as xxx.xx.xx ?

      no its not same, aaa.aaa.aa is my static public ip address and xxx.xx.x.86 is the ISP winmax ip address with

      Are you trying to route a public subnet behind pfSense?
      yes i think that is the  idea .

          yes

          I have a static public ip address  196.192.8x.x

          My router Ip is 172.30.x.86  255.255.255.252 (connected through wimax)
          My Gateway is 172.30.x.85

          My dns resolve corectly as per Isp details viewed status >  interface

          and i can ping my gateway 172.30.x.85 with 0 loss

            um….
            Those are private IP's and NOT public IP's.
            (the 172.30 IP's)

            So your WAN lies in a private subnet.
            Try to disable the "Block RFC1918" checkbox on the WAN page.

            I assume your provider just forwards the traffic for the public 196.192.8x.x IP to your private 172.30.x.86 IP.

            We do what we must, because we can.

              tried already to disable the "Block RFC1918" checkbox on the WAN page

              but still no internet connection

                What provider is that?
                Could you find out if they just forward the traffic from the public IP you have to your private IP on your WAN?
                What subnet do you have behind pfSense?
                You dont per chance have 196.192.8x.x as your subnet behind pfSense, do you? (which should not work)

                  the subnet is 255.255.255.252

                  they just installed a cisco 851 router and it is working, but tomorrow i will get the config then i will paste it here

                  but i wish to use pfsense as i will have 2 ISP, one of them is working good with pfsense, only the Wimax one is getting this problem

                  thanks

                    255.255.255.252 is the netmask not the subnet. –> .252 is a /30 subnet, meaning that only the router and a single IP can be in the subnet.
                    Are you really sure that you have only 1 IP behind pfSense? (i kind of doubt that)

                    Let me rephrase the question: do you have public IP's behind pfSense or private IP's?

                    (private IP's are
                    192.168.x.x
                    172.16.x.x up to 172.31.x.x
                    10.x.x.x )

                    Since you already have a private IP on the WAN you have to make sure that the IP's behind the pfSense are in another range.

                    We do what we must, because we can.

                        From my reading of that you have:

                        ISP –-- (172.30.x.86/30) Cisco/pfSense (192.168.1.1) --- Internal LAN ---<somewhere>--- 196.192.8x.x

                        Would that be correct?</somewhere>

                          Its more like this right now :

                          INTERNET      –-> ISP                              ---> WiMax              --->    CISCO ---> INTERNAL LAN
                          FIXED IP                PRIVATE STATIC IP          Wireless Connection                            DHCP 192.168.1.1
                          196.192.8x.x          172.30.x.86
                                                    gateway 172.30.x.85

                          but i would like to remove the cisco completely and insert Pfsense instead .

                            Ok, so 196.192 is a red herring - it isn't actually allocated to any of your devices?

                            What device handles the Wireless connection?
