      I have captive Portal configured on a vlan.

      Interface: 192.168.22.1/24

      DHCP entries specified:

      192.168.22.100-199

      Gateway: 192.168.22.1
      DNS: 192.168.22.1

      All devices connect, recieve IP.  Sometimes I can run ping on iphone and sometimes not.  It is random.

      I have rebuilt firewall 3 times now with no success.

      If I put the old unit back running 2.1 it has no problems with displaying the captive portal page so I dont think it is the switch!

      I even added 1 to net.inet.ip.fastforwarding in the system tuneables

      I have another vlan that is using WPA Enterprise and that is working and passing traffic.

      Now additional issues.

      So I can ping IP on wan but DNS resolution is not working.

      I have 4.2.2.2 and 8.8.8.8 in General>DNS for WAN interface.

        Hi !

        You use the default built-in html portal age ?
        If not, do so, and case solved ;)
        (look carefully at Services => CaptivePortal=> ZONE => Configuration, the example html page )

        No "help me" PM's please. Use the forum, the community will thank you.
        Edit : and where are the logs ??

          So it looks like for some reason Google DNS is not working from this location at all.  I disabled DNS resolver and enabled DNS Forwarder and changed DNS under general to Comcast instead of google and all working.  :o
