Your Linksys modem is also a router/switch/AP. If you really have a compelling reason to replace it with pfSense, you will most likely need to get a dsl modem that is just a modem.

OK that i will be consider but any other solution i still want to save my money

Not to dissuade you from using pfSense, but the cheapest and easiest solution is to just use your existing Linksys. Replacing it will require time and effort even if you can somehow manage to re-use the wag54g as a modem/AP. Do you require some advanced feature of pfSense that is not available on the Linksys?

OK thank you for advise my objective is Pfsense has many feature i like and more useful than using router itself
I use pfsense to protect my whole network not only for one or two computer
It not happen only with linksys also in d link wireless router

I just want the solution to achive my objective again thank you for all advice.

Ps. I get DHCP ip from router too but in linksys they show that this ip have been assign but no host name

If you want a name to show up you need to specify one on pfsense on the interface-config page

mubin · Oct 25, 2007, 1:19 AM

Thank you about name now i have name on my router status but still can't connect through and can't ping out even ping to router

and for sure can't ping to dns server

thank for all help

If you have another router in front of the pfsense i assume you have a private network between the pfsense and your other router.
Did you disable the "Block private networks" on the WAN-config?
(looking through the config-option helps to solve these problems.)

mubin · Oct 25, 2007, 10:06 AM

i've already disable that option and nothing has change

GruensFroeschli · Oct 25, 2007, 12:23 PM

what subnets are you using?

mubin · Oct 25, 2007, 3:31 PM

Ip Subnet 192.168.1.0
Mask 255.255.255.0

In Interface status everything look fine
Ip Dns and so on

GruensFroeschli · Oct 25, 2007, 4:23 PM

Could you post a screenshot of your interface-status-page.

mubin · Oct 25, 2007, 4:45 PM

That it
I also try to release and renew

GruensFroeschli · Oct 25, 2007, 5:10 PM

You need to have different subnets on WAN and LAN.
How else should a router…. well... route ^^"

mubin · Oct 25, 2007, 5:18 PM

Oh i will try it tomorrow if that a problem but i don't quite understand please explain more
thank you

ps. i'm very new with this network thing

dotdash · Oct 25, 2007, 5:35 PM

You are currently trying to put a firewall/router behind another firewall/router. IMO, this is going to be nothing but trouble to configure. If you really want to use pfSense, I would suggest removing the Linksys, getting a dumb ADSL modem, and connecting the WAN of pfSense directly to this modem. The WAN on pfSense would need to be programmed with the settings that are currently on the WAN side of your Linksys.
Seeing as how you are new to networking, dropping a firewall on a private network behind another firewall will lead to nothing but less functionality and more frustration. In my opinion…

mubin · Oct 26, 2007, 2:54 AM

thank you that show me the light

i already try using dumb adsl modem everything work fine

@GruensFroeschli:
