Access modem on wan from lan on pfsense 2.2 rc

reason it's all the same is because any device on any of the three networks has to be able to talk to any device on any other network (for instance remote monitoring of applications on wifi devices from a wired desktop. i'm not sure exactly what all the deca bridge does, supposedly it's supposed to allow devices on the network to stream from it, but i've not had much luck with that (also not had the best of luck keeping the receiver from locking up, and that's after updating it). i'll probably stuff everything on the switch once i build a smaller computer that will sit where the ap is now and get some shorter cords so it's less of a mess.

Then they should all be connected to switch, your bridge is not buying you anything but slower connectivity. My wifi devices can talk to my wired devices - but I have them on 2 segments because my wifi devices sure an the hell don't need to see my wired networks broadcast or multicast traffic.
Everything I read about the deca stuff is your whole home dvr stuff is on the coax network.. The ethernet is just for internet.. What equipment do you have, I am directv user for example - both of my dvrs are on network just from from connection on the back of them. To stream recorded shows to your mobile I do believe you need genie to go.. I don't have genie yet - but I can watch recorded shows from my dvrs on my PC and they are not on the same network segment, etc.

yeah, i have the genie, got it as a free upgrade for "moving" after a house fire late last year, eventhough new house is on the same plot of land, just a different area, but i'm not gonna argue with that logic if it means i get free premium stuff.

Same here, anybody had any success accesing modem gui?

Works just fine here - see below (modem on 192.168.255.1)

My modem is on bridge mode, im not using ppoe, can i use this adding 2nd interface method?
-
My modem is on bridge mode as well… Not sure how's PPPoE related here. This is using a dedicated NIC on pfS with cable plugged to modem's LAN port. This will work as long as your modem has some LAN IP address outside your normal LAN subnet defined on pfSense. If it has none, well then there's nothing to access.
-
Ok yes now i got the idea, yes with one extra nic physically connected to the modem, fixed ip on the modem's subnet you can access it
But i was thinking on the original idea of one virtual ip and the outbound nat rule involving this virtual ip you dont need the extra nic. In fact i had this configuration in 2.0 and it was working ok, but now i cannot get it to work again. Thanks doktornotor

Are you referring to this? https://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/Accessing_modem_from_inside_firewall
I don't think that howto is intended for bridged modem setup at all (the NAT just makes no sense for this setup.) As for extra NIC, well… not really needed if using PPPoE, you could recycle WAN for that - but, first of all, that sounds like a hack to me, plus - this NIC is onboard POS unused for anything since it sucks badly.
