PfSense internet does not work ( Need desperate help!! )

Koenvuurens

Welp… Not getting ethernet anymore.
I set up this:

WAN: 192.168.2.99 /24
LAN: 192.168.1.1 /24

I have one and only direct connection with my server to the pfSense box. (the pfSense does have the WAN and the LAN connected)
When I go to my browser and type 192.168.1.1:24 then I get the error: This Webpage Isn't available.
Soo... What do I need to do?

What? ??? Why are you pointing your browser to port 24? You do NOT type 24 into the browser, that is a netmask! :o

Koenvuurens

whoops I said it wrong, No I dont type :24

OK, we have spent enough time hunting and guessing in the dark. Please take and post the following screenshots:

Interfaces - WAN
Interfaces - LAN
Firewall - Rules - LAN
Your Windows Network IP4 Ethernet Properties

If you are paranoid, scrub any public IP addresses in your shots.

Koenvuurens

Yes, but that is not the problem ! I cant acces the WebConfigurator. So I can make screenshots if you want but I cant acces it!!

Dude can you ping pfsense lan IP from the computer your trying to access the web gui from?

So can you ping 192.168.1.1 ?

From you computer is static or dhcp? Please post ipconfig /all – assuming your on windows?

Koenvuurens

Yes I can ping the pfsense box
and the settings are in the attachment!

then you should just be able to go http://192.168.1.1

Unless your browser is using a proxy that should open, or redirect you to https://192.168.1.1 and the webgui.

Koenvuurens

Okey, got it working again.
but still no ethernet through my pfSense

Well sure looks like ethernet is working to me if your connected to the gui..

So you set static on your PC.. If you meant no internet on your pc, yeah you didn't set any dns.. So how would you expect your pc to lookup anything?

err… sorry... I dont understand that!
Would you like to explain that a liiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitle bit more?
but I said already in the first post that I ask a lot of questions

Koenvuurens

Oh do I need to set the DNS to the pfSense box? maybe? …

johnpoz

you said ethernet, ethernet is not the internet.. That is your local network connection, etc.. which is clearly working if you can access the pfsense webgui via IP address.

Normally yes pfsense would dns for your network, but it can be anything you want. But if your going to setup a static IP and you want that box to resolve say www.google.com then yeah needs dns.. your picture was NOTHING.. So no shit kind of hard to resolve www.google.com or www.pfsense.com or www.cnn.com, etc. etc..

Koenvuurens

Sorry about the ethernet/internet problem, I am dutch already I said…(my english is not very good)
So... I can just put anything in the DNS box?

johnpoz

you can put in anything you want that is a valid nameserver that will resolve what you want.. Putting in say 8.8.8.8 (googledns) isn't going to resolve any local stuff that pfsense would know about, etc.
