Cant access router when connected via PPTP
-
Sorry, i dont really understand how i can do that? my laptop gets .4 when i connect via PPTP, but if i run a ping from the webgui arent i running it from that machine, which is the .1 ip?
How do i capture packets from my laptop to .2?
-
On the pfSense gui, go to Diagnostics > Packet capture. Run a capture there, on LAN, filtered on .4.
Then ping the router from the PPTP-connected system, then stop the capture, and see what you got.
Don't ping from the firewall's GUI

Ok thanks. I first pinged 192.168.10.1 and 10.235 as i know these i can access, then i did 10.2, which i believe shows nothing in the packet capture:

If you never see the ping for .2 in the capture, that means it never left LAN. Either it never left the laptop, or it was blocked/misrouted somewhere along the way. Double check your firewall rules for pptp, firewall logs, etc.

when i tried to ping .2 it just "request timed out"
I have no idea how to setup firewall rules.. shouldnt it just work seeing i can access the other devices on the same subnet? the antennas for example.. they are all in Wireless ISP mode, they are basically routers also
-
That depends on your rules… For all we know, since you haven't said, there is a block rule on there or an incorrect rule to pass to it. Show a screenshot of your PPTP rules.
-
Ok, here it is
-
That should be fine then. Though just for giggles, change the source to 'any' and see what happens.
-
Definately would have been nice if it was that simple!! but unfortunately that didnt work.. :)
Should i change it back to PPTP or is any how it should be?
I have no idea why i cant get to this stupid router! Its GUI is https, thats not an issue is it?
-
Only would be an issue if you can't access any other https items across the vpn, but a ping isn't going either.
Somehow you need to determine if it's ever leaving the laptop and even trying to go over pptp. Try a traceroute to it.

Is this .2 in the same lan, so it's for sure in correct switch.
is switch configs correct
is the switch port functioning at all, even those can break down -
Yes it is, and from within the office i can get to it, just cant when connected via PPTP from my home.
I also found out lastnight that i can't access it when i connect to another server via Teamviewer from home.. same problem.. all other devices with Webgui on the 192.168.10.0 subnet i can access.. just not this one in particular..
