      This is so weird…
      I have a server running freebsd 7.2 on the LAN subnet and i was using static dhcp to connect to it...i switched to nomal static ip so i could set up several alias ip's and use some jails.  What's odd is that i can ssh into it from the lan but not from the wifi subnet now....now, other wifi=>lan ssh works (laptop => desktop, laptop on wifi, desktop on same lan)

      I can ssh into the server no probelm from wan side...i get Operation timed out..
      I'm totally confused because it was working earlier.

        I've also noticed something weird…if i set the server to use dhcp for one of the ip's it allows me to connect to it from the wifi subnet, if i don't it wont..

        What's weirder still is that lets say i set static dhcp to give ip 192.168.1.14 to the server and then manually set 192.168.1.15 and 192.168.1.16 as alias ips

        I can connect to those ip's no problem, but as soon as i set the server to manually connect via normal static ip none of the ip's work from the wifi subnet (which is 192.168.2.0/24)

        i'm totally stumped...i've put allow rules for all on both lan and wifi
        under wifi i have

        • wifinet * * * *
        • lannet * * * *

        under lan i have the same....what do i need to do to make this work.
