Problem installing net gate 4200

bigbob

@mcury when I configure it in the setup, and I change address on lan, do I have to type in the 255 stuff? Or just the 192 stuff?

pfsense LAN:
IP address: 192.168.101.1
subnet mask: 255.255.255.0

your computer:
IP address: 192.168.101.2
subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
gateway: 192.168.101.1
dns: 192.168.101.1

@mcury right but on the setup page there's no where for me to type the subnet. Just says 24 below? Is that where I type the subnet, and change the 24?

not in the instructions

I quoted them above. ;)

@SteveITS I don't have an area for computer to enter gateway address? And do I add dns servers?

bigbob

@SteveITS for configure ipv4 on computer I can add ip address, subnet and router

your connection to pfsense will work without DNS and gateway, but you won't have internet access.
for now, let those aside then, once you restore your connection to pfsense, we will look at it.

@mcury I'm looking under net gate now. It says ipv4 configured using dhcp, ip address 192.168.1.100
Subnet. 255.255.255.0
Dns servers: 192.168.1.1

ok, that is WAN interface.
which means that you will need to change LAN's interface IP address to 192.168.101/24.

So, just change LAN as already been discussed, change your computer's IP address as well, and try to open 192.168.1.101 after that in your browser.

@mcury the connection I'm looking at says usb10/100/1000 LAN and then all those numbers I posted above.

@bigbob the connection I'm looking at says usb10/100/1000 LAN and then all those numbers I posted above. @SteveITS also says domain is home.arpa

When you buy a SG-4200, or any other appliance from Netgate, you get a TAC Lite plan, which includes zero to ping support.

I suggest you check that, they are very good and the support is amazing.
