Yet another 'CANT ACCESS INTERNET' topic. HELP!

jfd.lewgmail.com

I have been running pfsense for about a year now and it has served me well. Today I decided to take the plunge and test out putting my Centurylink Zyxel FR1000Z router in bridge mode and use PFSense for PPPoE. Well, that plan backfired and I am unsure what the issue is. I'm currently trying to get everything back to normal before trying again.

Here is a quick high level network map.
[

The Zyxel is picking up a WAN IP address and two DNS servers from Centurylink.
On the LAN it is assigned 192.168.0.1.
It is currently configured to serve 192.168.0.2-10/24
PFSense is 192.168.0.2 and sits in the DMZ.
On PFSense, I have the WAN configured as DHCP
It is being assigned 192.168.0.2
The gateway is assigned as 192.168.0.1
The LAN side is configured as 192.168.1.1, no gateway

From there, i go into a switch which serves up the rest of the house - an apple airport extreme upstairs and a time capsule downstairs, both set in bridge mode (router off). A regular airport acting as my music server with the network off. I spared you the details of the numerous pieces of hardware. Just the basic infrastructure.

The trouble I'm having now is that if I connect a laptop to the Zyxel, I can get on the internet just fine. If I connect behind the PFSense box, I can see both the PFSense webConfig as well as the Zyxel webConfig just fine, but no Internet. I can ping from the PFsense shell just fine, I ran a tracert to 8.8.8.8 from the pfsense shell and it worked just fine as well. Anything connecting through that LAN port is down.

Any ideas?

Have you disabled the'block private networks' rule on the WAN side firewall rules?

Update -

So I'm not sure what the root issue was, however I decided to upgrade to the latest version. My network is fairly simple so reconfiguring is not difficult at all. I created a memstick image and nuked the installation and started fresh. Worked right out of the box. I added a few tweaks, like not letting my router serve 192.168.0.1-254, I limited it to a handful of IPs, etc.

So, now I have a clean install thats working, and I have reinstalled my packages. Next step, once I have time, is to configure it for PPPoE and get my Zyxel into bridge mode. I've searched quite a bit on the topic, but if anyone has any experience with that particular dsl modem/router and pfsense, any suggestions would be great. Thanks!
