Hopefully a simple config issue - Bridging Wifi to LAN with WAN access
-
I have a WAN port, I have a LAN port, anything on the LAN can get out online, I have opt1 as Wifi, set it to AP, bridged it with the LAN, anything I have can connect to the AP, get an IP, but they can't connect out onto the internet.
What did I do wrong here?
-
Did you create a firewall rule on the opt1 interface to allow traffic out?
-
smacks forehead I did not. What's the general set up for that rule?
Opt1 to LAN allow? Gateway is default?
-
Well since you bridge the WLAN to the LAN i assume you want to use it the same way.
So you could just simply copy the rule from the LAN to the WLAN.
-
Great, thank you very much.
-
That didn't work…
opt1 subnet -> Anywhere
I can connect, get an IP, but I still can't get out to the internet...

What version of pfSense? 1.2.3-RC3 or a later snapshot?
If not, go to System > Advanced, check the box to disable hardware checksums, and try again. That is needed with some combinations of NICs
-
it is 1.2.3-RC3
-
What kind of hardware?
-
NetGear WPN311 atheros chipset

Sure you're getting an IP without this:

Also, might be an issue with this infamous bug, but havent seen this issue with newer snapshots but might be worth a try for you:

This should be fixed in RC3 and later snapshots, that was the checksum issue I mentioned above.

well my windows machine says it gets an IP, but can't get out to the internet, and if I try to ping the default gateway, it fails, transmit failed, it says. My linux machine does not get an IP.
I tried setting up that rule on my opt2/wifi source 0.0.0.0 port 68 to 255.255.255.255 port 67, applied, waited for the refresh, and I'm still stuck unable to get out online via opt2/wifi.
Linux machine still does not grab an IP address.
Should I try pfsense 1.2.2?

Post up a screenshot of your firewall rules on your OPT interface.
You did use UDP for the DHCP rule, correct?
Anything suspicious in your firewall logs?
-
I would think you could just use one rule and specify any for the source IP, no?

0.0.0.0 is not a valid IP on the OPT interface so no.
