      Hello, quick question here.

      Say I wanted to access my router's config page, and i'm connected over wireless (a wireless router) how would I do that, going through the Pfsense box?

      What rules / ect would I need to adjust. (because I cant atm).

      Setup is modem - wireless router - PFsense (via wireless).

      I want to access it from a machine on pfsense's lan interface.

      (The subnet of the connected wireless connection is /24 for information sake)

      A Pentium III, 256MB RAM and 10GB HDD are needed to run Windows XP.
      The power of 3 C64 was needed to PRETEND to fly to the moon.
      Something is wrong with our world…

        Just type the IP of your wireless router in the webbrowser of your choice.
        The pfsense in between should make no difference.

        We do what we must, because we can.

          Ah, but it does.

          I cant access it at all.
          And if I install windows on the now pfsense box, and just enable ICS, I can.

          Its as though there is a rule, or something,that needs to be adjusted in pfsense, to allow me that kind of access on the wan interface from the lan interface.

          The pfsense box can ping 192.168.1.1 quite fine.
          But the machines behind pfsense cant.

          Any Idea?

          EDIT

          solved!
          Accomplished by adjusting subnet of machine on LAN interface.
          From 255.255.255.0, to 255.255.255.240 (as my ip is 243, the last digit could not be any higher than 243).

          A Pentium III, 256MB RAM and 10GB HDD are needed to run Windows XP.
