      Hi guys,

      new to the forum, and pfsense itself.

      After successful install and config of 1 LAN 1 WAN config, I am having trouble with second WAN config. Here is the deal:

      ADSL(PPPoE)->pfsense->LAN (192.168.5.0/24) (this config works fine)
      ADSL (Wireless AP, 192.168.1.0/24, address on my nic is 192.168.1.120) ->pfsense

      After associating my Wireless card (DLINK DWL-520) with the internet-connected AP I can ping the gateway (.1.1) and other connected machines (some laptops connected to the AP)

      Problem occurs when trying to access internet adress (Diagnostics->PING-> select OPT1 interface, try to ping www.google.com)
      The address resolves ok, but ping doesn't go thru. Tried pinging with the address itself to no avail.
      Pinging machines on the subnet works fine, as is pinging the gateway.

      Any ideas? (DGateway is set in the interface properties as 192.168.1.1)

      Thnks guys!

        Did you read the note on the page? Multi-WAN is not supported using this utility
        is 192.168.1.120 CIDR /24

          I did now, thanks ;)

          Yep, AP is configured to use 192.168.1.0/24 network.
          It's address is 192.168.1.1
          And the address my pfsense interface acquires via its (APs) DHCP is 192.168.1.120

          How can I test the connectivity then? Disable WAN interface and try then?

            It was working all along.
            Tested it with the "pull the plug" techique :)
