Pfs v2 - WAN: PPTP – no InternetAccess

[OGrue]

Maybe I'am a complete moron but I don't get InternetAccess to work on pfSense v2

Version: pfSense v2.0 RELEASE x64
Host: xenServer v6 beta

What I've done:

• fresh install of pfSense v2.0

• assigned interfaces in shell after startup

• assigned IP for LAN (192.168.23.254) in shell after startup

• auto-launch of wizard in webbrowser

Wizard-Config:

• DNS servers

• hostname

• domainname

• WAN

  • type: PPtP

  • MTU: 1492

  • intIP 10.0.0.140/24

  • extIP 10.0.0.138

  • no DialOnDemand

  • no IdleTimeout

  • block private/bogon

When the wizard is finished the PPTP connection is sucessfully established and I can ping (Diagnostics->Ping) a domain (www.google.at) from WAN interface. Ping from LAN interface isn't possible.
Firewall Rules are the standard ones after installation (LAN allow all).
The same configuration works just fine with pfSense v1.2.3

Can you ping IP without using the name?

@podilarius:

Can you ping IP without using the name?

Yes and No^^

Update:
pinging google doesn't seem to work on LAN interface, pinging other sites (www.orf.at) does work.
pinging IP's from LAN do work for 195.3.96.67 and 213.33.98.136 (ISP DNS), but doesn't work for 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 (google DNS)

Pings were done on a client on LAN interface and within pfSense PING from WAN and LAN interface.
all Pings from WAN interface do work.
pfSense diagnostic->traceroute - everythings fine (except I use additional google DNS, they don't respond, but that's another story)
WebSurfing (aka any filetransfer from / to web) doesn't work

and the best - played around too much and accidently deletet the v1 snapshot (in this case you can call me a moron :( )

XenServer, Modem, …. - I don't think there's a problem, till today pfSense v1 worked like charm - also ipFire which I use now for fallback works just fine

Update 2:
Thank's to VM I can play around a bit more….
Added a IPFire between pfSense WAN and modem and configurated pfSense's WAN to DHCP - everything's working (also google-dns 8.8.8.8/8.8.4.4)

The problem can be pinned to PPTP / communication between modem and pfSense

BTW - this is not a fix, I don't wanna use a additional system between modem and pfSense

Update 3:
If it's useful - installed a m0n0wall (v1.33) with same Sources as pfSense and it also work's just fine….

If anyone has idea's, need additional informations, etc. let me know, I'm going to freak out about this problem.

I've given up - after a few fresh-installs, new creation of new VM and "pain in the head" log file reading I'll wait till  pfSense gets an update - maybe then it will work.
Actual FW is m0n0 which indeed is very good, but I'm missing pfSense features ;-)
