[SOLVED] Cannot Get back into WebGUI - No Network on LAN Port
-
Sorry that's my fault the tab is named DNS Resolver not Unbound as you saw. I'm using 2.4-RC also. The logs there look normal, no errors shown.
The option under Diagnostics is DNS Lookup not DNS resolver. That will show you what the response time of each configured source is.
The only thing I'd like to see not shown in your screen shots is what error (or not) you see when trying to ping google.com from the client.
Do you still have the default allow all firewall rule on the LAN interface?

Hello again,
So I updated the link https://imgur.com/a/1HXsL with the screen shots that include the following:
1. Ping results from client when pinging URL
2. DNS Server List from the System Information Panel from the Dashboard
3. Firewall Rules for the LAN port
4. And last but not least. The DNS Look up results
I am pretty confident that with the results of the DNS Lookup will tell you what's wrong. The Query time has no response.

What is default gateway for the client?
Also check that you have set one on
services-dhcp server-lan-other options (gateway 192.168.1.1) GUI page! -
I will be kicking myself in the butt for this one for a long time. I found out what the issue was. Since I run a GNU/Linux OS I never reboot the device. This is the same device I was using as the client that was connected directly to the LAN port of the firewall. After thinking "Windows" I thought to myself. I should restart the network adapter. Low and behold, the moment I did so I was receiving a network connection. So remember kids. Restart that network adapter!
I will also go over a couple other things I discovered for someone else in the future as after I figured out my issue, I began to reconstruct my network. Upon adding my router back into the circle I ran into two other issues. So pay attention kids.
1. If you are going from the Firewall to a router, DO NOT plug it into the WAN port of the router. Plug into one of the existing LAN ports. Follow the flow chart below:
Modem >>> Firewall WAN >>> Firewall LAN >>> Router LAN >>> Switch (Optional) >>> Client
2. Another thing I discovered. If you have your router setup to give out static IPs, disable all of them and reassign your Static IPs in the firewall. If you are not getting a connection, remember! Restart that network adapter!
Again I want to thank you all for your help and time in this matter. Despite my frustration you guys never gave up on me. This truly is a great community! I cannot thank you all enough!
And now, without further ado. Off to configure the device until I either make my network vulnerable or I lock myself out / receive no network connection again! ;D
EDIT: I thought I could click the Thanks button for everyone, but apparently it doesn't work that way. Sorry everyone, especially you Steve. Now I feel bad.

Ha, no need to feel bad, I'm glad you got up and running. :)
