Weird problem: Internal LAN -> LAN ok, WLAN -> WLAN not :(

[hessie]

Hi !

First of all, pfSense works like a charm. Everyhing is fine, MultiWAN, using pfSense as an AP etc.

The only "strange" problem I've got is that my WLAN clients can not connect to other WLAN Clients..

From LAN -> WLAN no problem. WLAN -> LAN no problem. LAN -> LAN no problem BUT WLAN -> WLAN does not work, no pings go through, nothing at all.

I've simply bridged my OPT2 (WLAN) Interface to my LAN Interface, therefore the router as the same IP in LAN or WLAN.

I think I should have firewall rules right, they let all traffic on OPT2 pass..

Is there anything else I've been missing ? Maybe just a little checkmark somewhere ?

What is the subnet mask being used by the wireless clients?

Hi !

Same as on my LAN net

255.255.255.0

Try checking System -> Advanced -> Bypass firewall rules for traffic on the same interface

i think the problem lies within this thread:

I've never observed the described behaviour so i alway's edited the file back as in the thread above.

Ahh yes.  Try that intra-bss option.

Thanks, the Intra-BSS option did the trick..

Damn.. I knew it was something small but I'd never think it hides on this tab :)

Thanks !
