DHCP on OPT1 with Captive Portal

[lurch89]

I've set up a captive portal on OPT1 (which is a wireless card). I can get everything to work, firewall-wise, except for DHCP. DHCP seems to serve the wrong IP's to the ENTIRE LAN, and not just the OPT1 interface. It will serve out the OPT1's settings to the entire LAN instead of the separating based on which net you're connected to. It almost feels like the DHCP server is not binding to the interfaces correctly.

Anyone else have this issue, or am I missing something really obvious???

I've followed this tutorial: http://doc.pfsense.org/smiller/Captive_Portal.htm

Thanks!

If you're able to do so: remove the wifi card - add a classic NIC, and hook up a classic AP.

See if this works.

You'll be more sure about the fact that it has to do with the Wifi NIC, (the driver) ….

I will try that on my setup, but after setting up pfSense at home, and testing (though missing this until all my DHCP clients expired and started getting the wrong addresses) the config, I set it up using 2 NICs instead of a NIC and a AP card, and it did the same thing. Wireless was taken out of the picture, and one DHCP pool was overriding the others (OPT1's DHCP was being handed out on LAN).

Opt1 shouldn't be bridged with the LAN nic.
Opt1 shoul dhave its own DHCP server.

If using an AP, it should be in real 'AP mode' - shut down natting, firewall, dhcp. It should behave like a switch.
