How do I activate ALL of my IP's?

garykline · Nov 8, 2010, 4:36 AM

My small domain was failing before an unknown person volunteered to help. I did the original DNS setup myself in 2001; this new friend configured a new DNS and added pfSense. I have 5 (five) IP's from Qwest. For unknown reasons, only two are pingable. I have determined that if I have a pingable IP on my MX, mail is stopped. Does anybody on-forum know why? Also, because I am (almost) sure that pfSense is blocking three IP's, how do I get them going again? I will need at least one working IP soon to run a separate .com domain.

Is there a way of resetting pfSense as-is to get the three non-pingable IP's working and not mess up the rest of the way that pfSense works now?

thanks for any insights,

Thanks much. Slowly–maybe too slowly!--I'm picking up this new app. FWIW, it turns out (according to my pal) that I have to have active the IP's that I want to use. ...Still scratching my head, but understand a bit more.
