      @ptt:

      1º In "Gateways" remove LAN2GW

      2º In  Firewall Rules remove the WAN2 Rule

      3º Modify the LAN Rule "Default allow LAN to any rule" and set the GW that you want to use for LAN

      Now you must be able to browse the net

      1º

      2º

      3º

      results are still not successful

          I get no reply when pinging from the WAN2 interface.

          I know for sure that the network WAN2 is connected to is fine because when i plug any computer to it, i get an address from dhcp and it can get on the net.

          I've configured WAN2 to configure itself by DHCP

            Try hard setting all the WAN IP addresses.

              BIG THANK YOU TO PODILARIUS & PTT.

              I got it to work on real hardware as opposed to VMs and it works.

              I am going to write a little how to  maybe this can help people.

                lolinternet - Have you written a how to on this yet?  I am doing a very similar thing.  I have ATT business DSL and Comcast internet.  I have 2 WAN  and 3 LAN's.  Lan 1 and 2 are running through WAN1 which is my ATT DSL service.  They are working fine.  I cannot get Lan 3 to route through Wan 2.  I can ping from Wan 2's interface fine.  I am obviously missing a step somewhere.  I have my outbound nat set up correctly, the gateway is added in my firewall rule for Lan 3, but i get no ping results if I ping from the Lan 3 address.

                    DOCUMENTATION

                    This is a simple howto. The firewall is not at all locked down, this is to get things up and running.

                    To give you an idea, here is the dashboard. All my WAN interface reside in private address space.

                    1) NIC CONFIGURATION

                    Assign your ports:

                    Go to Interfaces->WAN
                    Notice that I unchecked "Block private networks" as my wan is connected to a private address subnet. I set the ip to static. Also because I am using a static IP, I had to set the gateway manually

                    Let's configure the second WAN interface, in my case WAN_BCE0

                    The LAN interfaces , note that I renamed my interface through the Description which is under General configuration. Static IP has been set so that DHCP server may run on this interface

                    2) DHCP SERVER Go to Services->DHCP server. DHCP server should be disabled on all WAN interfaces but must be enabled on LAN interfaces




                    **3) VERIFY ROUTING

                    Go to System->Routing only WAN interfaces should be there, if you see anything other than WAN interfaces in there, remove them. Most of the time this fills in correctly, if anything is missing add it in**.

                    **4) FIREWALL: Rules

                    Go to Firewall->Rules

                    The WAN is the default gateway, this is the default setting, no modification made**

                    **By default LAN_IGB0_BDOMAIN4 will be using WAN as its gateway, I didnt do any firewall configuration there

                    I did not need to enter any firewall rules for WAN_BCE0

                    However, for LAN_IGB1_BDOMAIN3 to get internet access through WAN_BCE0, firewall rules needed to be added and the Gateway was set

                    And the final product in the firewall rules summary:

                    1. TESTING
                      Plug a computer at each LAN nic port and do some traceroutes and pings, refer to beginning of thread to see troubleshooting tips.**

                      Nice,
                      Can you also post your outbound NAT rules if they are advanced?

                        No Firewall: NAT rules were created or generated
