[SOLVED] How to get IP from modem (don't know what the problem really is ::) )

clarknova

Your modem is just a bridge device. I have no idea what it would have to do with your telephone calls list. Are you using voip or pstn?

frojnd

voip

chpalmer

Normal behavior. Look at this post for a possible solution for you…

Thank you all for answers.

So I did the following. Cable from modem goes to pfsense wan interface named as rl1. So corresponding with my IP settings I did like this:

pkg_add -r redir

Fetching ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-7.2-release/Latest/redir.tbz… Done.

ifconfig rl1 192.168.1.1/24

/usr/local/bin/redir --lport 8989 --cport 80 --caddr 192.168.1.254 &

[1] 8431

Problem occours when I go to 192.168.1.254 I recieve page doesn't exist.

Are you trying http://192.168.1.254:8989 ??

I have not done this yet but may try it on one of my setups at the office later. But I believe you need the port number…

frojnd

That's exactly how I'm trying, with port numbers at the end. Please do try it when you have an option.

What version of pfsense are you using?

frojnd

1.2.3-RELEASE

clarknova

What is your the IP address of pfsense's LAN interface?

frojnd

LAN	 interface (rl0)
Status	 up
MAC address	 00:e0:4c:58:3a:be
IP address	 192.168.1.1  
Subnet mask	 255.255.255.0

clarknova

That's your problem. Your LAN subnet overlaps (is identical to) your modem's subnet. Change the subnet of your modem or your LAN and this will work.

Also, you need to connect to your LAN's IP address, not the modem's. So if you change pfsense's LAN IP address to 192.168.0.1/24, you'll then point your browser to http://192.168.0.1:8989 to bring up the modem.

frojnd

Thank you so much! :)

You're welcome. I'll try not to sit and wonder for too long what your modem is going to tell you about your voip usage. ;)
