No internet connection

[Sensei]

Hello, i did a fresh install of pfSense for the first time. All went well, and the box is currently up and fully accessible.

My problem is, i can't get an internet connection.

I have it connected to my ISP Modem with DHCP, and all the values are correct:

WAN interface (re0)
Status 	up
DHCP 	up  
MAC address 	00:22:2d:27:b4:32
IP address 	192.168.1.27  
Subnet mask 	255.255.255.0
Gateway 	192.168.1.10
ISP DNS servers 	212.113.161.226
208.67.222.222
Media 	1000baseTX <full-duplex>In/out packets 	1671/809 (1.41 MB/72 KB)
In/out errors 	0/0
Collisions 	0
LAN interface (re1)
Status 	up
MAC address 	00:22:2d:27:8a:ad
IP address 	192.168.1.1  
Subnet mask 	255.255.255.0
Media 	1000baseTX <full-duplex>In/out packets 	1174/708 (126 KB/415 KB)
In/out errors 	0/0
Collisions 	0</full-duplex></full-duplex> 

But when i go, for example, to the packages section, it says "Unable to communicate with pfSense…" and i cannot ping, traceroute using the built-in utils, meaning i have no internet connection on the pfSense box.

Any ideas of what can be causing this?

Thanks in advance

Your WAN and LAN interfaces are on the same subnet. This will not work. Try changing your LAN IP to 192.168.0.1.

Problem solved, newbie mistake i guess  ;)

Thanks for the quick response.

In addition to that, you will likely need to leave the "Block private networks" box unchecked for WAN in this case.
