Wireless routing RC3

[josey]

Hi, here is pic of my problem

http://img183.imageshack.us/my.php?image=routein4.jpg

comp is on wire with PFS RC3
comp 2 and comp 3 are on wire on D-LINK DWL 2100AP that is in client mode conectet to OPT1 and OPT2
PFS RC3 has
LAN – IP 192.168.1.1
WAN
OPT1 is CANYON WF511 RT-2560 chipset (not 2561 turbo-- that is not working)
OPT2 is CANYON WF511 RT-2560 chipset

solution 1.
bridge OPT1 with LAN
bridge OPT2 with LAN
comp can ping AP CLIENTS (DWL-2100) but cant ping computers connected to DWL 2100 ap-client

computers 2 and 3 connected to DWL 2100 can ping comp but cant ping each other...

solution 2.
OPT1 ip 192.168.2.1 (tried with 192.168.1.1, 192.168.1.2, 192.168.1.3, nothing) subnet is 255.255.0.0
OPT2 ip 192.168.3.1 (same as OPT1)

and i have
disable NAT;  enable advanced outbound nat,  delete the rules
      - create pass any protocol, any source, any destination rules at all involved interfaces at both pfSense. also uncheck block private IP ranges at interfaces>wan.
    - set up static routes form LAN to OPT

and stil nothing...

please help

first rc3 is not suported upgrade to 1.0 release

then if you have on opt1 192.168.2.1 255.255.0.0 and on opt2
192.168.3.1 255.255.0.0
then routing is broken becourse 192.168.2.0 255.255.0.0 is 192.168.0.1 till 192.168.254.254
make it 255.255.255.0 on opt1 and opt2 and routing works again

[josey]

first,  this is clean instal to RC3 not upgrade from RC1

RC3 comp is
CPU celeron 1700mhz
256mb ddr
hdd 10gb
asus mainboar 6x PCI slots
LAN onboard
wan

2.  i have allready tried with subnet 255.255.255.0 with solution 1 and 2 - NOTHING
it seems that something is f*cked up in PFS or in ralink drivers
i will buy atheros based chipset card and see whats happening

RC3 is old, joeren is talking about the final releaseversion of pfSense (1.0-RELEASE, not 1.0RC1). You really should upgrade/reinstall first with that version.

[josey]

hm,
downloaded
installed

same problem :(

There are some problems with your setup:

Solution1 won't work as you can't bridge multiple interfaces to each other (atm only 1 interface can be bridged to another one)

Solution2 seems to have subnetconflicts as you are using a subnetmask of 255.255.0.0.

Solution3: set it up with non conflicting subnets and it should work. Btw, you don't need static routes between OPT1 and OPT2 as these subnets are directly connected to the pfSense. Only firewallrules are needed.

…joeren told you about that conflict already (just saw it after I wrote my answer)  ;)

solution 1. tried with LAN and OPT1 – NOT WORKING

solution 2. tried with 255.255.255.0 -- NOT WORKING

solution 3. tried with
LAN ------192.168.1.1
OPT 1 ----192.168.2.1

-- no static routes, all default... (but i tried and with static rutes from 192.168.1.0/24 to 192.168.2.0/24 and from 192.168.2.0/24 to 192.168.1.0/24 -- NOT WORKING, tried with NAT -enable advanced outbound, with default, and with OPT1 and LAN --- NOT WORKING)
i tried so many combinations that i dont remember any more :(
oh yes, with ipsec tuneling too

i tried and this hoba
solution 3 -- all default- no static routes etc ...

firweall rules on :
OPT1 : pass-->OPT1-->(TCP/UDP)or any-->OPT1 subnet-->LAN subnet
LAN:    pass-->LAN  -->(tcp/udp) or any-->LAN subnet ---> OPT1 subnet

NOT WORKING !!!
I think that buying a 3 APs will cost me less nervs and health than this PFS, but, i want to solve this problem :) :) :)

lets solve this  8)
thnx guys

tried this http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,2530.0.html
reboot to factory

Interfaces OPT1
–------------------
Enable: [checked]
Type: 'static'
Bridge with: 'none'
IP Address: '172.16.54.1 / 24'
Standard: '802.11g'
Mode: 'Access Point'
802.11g OFDM Protection Mode: 'CTS to Self'
SSID: 'test'
Channel: '8'
Authentication: 'Open Authentication'

Everything is basically unchecked or left open.

Firewall –> Rules

Interface: OPT1
First Rule: [All] = *
_______________________________________________-
reboot
still not working

but when i bridge OPT1 and LAN  i have ping but every fiew packets are lost WTF ???

[josey]

its not working when wep is enabled  >:( >:( >:( >:(
