      Hello, i have some trouble setting my pfsense 2.0 to access another lan

      right now my setup is 2 wan 2 lan.

      secondary wan is only used when primary fail.
      both lan are on different physical interface.

      first lan is 192.168.5.0/28 and secondary is 192.168.7.0/28

      I am not able to access the 7.0 lan from the 5.0, but i can access it from wan with port forwarding.

      i don't know what i'm missing. I even tried to setup a gateway pointing this subnet.

          Further check you Subnet bits. Is it really /28 ?
          192.168.5.0/28 would mean:
          Netadress: 192.168.5.0
          Host-Adresses: 192.168.5.1 - 192.168.5.6
          Broadcastadress: 192.168.5.7

          A possible subnetmask could be /24 which means
          Netadress: 192.168.5.0
          Host-Adresses: 192.168.5.1 - 192.168.5.254
          Broadcastadress: 192.168.5.255

          Fruther:
          If there is NO rule in the firewall rule TABs of your LAN1 and LAN2 then there is default "block all".
          So like Notanial said above, you need to enter a rule on the LAN TABs to allow access.
          But if you do a rule like Notanial said, there is ONLY access from one LAN to the other, but not to the internet.

          pass
          proto: any
          source: LAN-A Subnet
          destination: LAN-B Subnet
          To allow access from LAN-A to LAN-B

          And to allow access from LAN-A to the internet:
          pass
          proto: any
          source: LAN-A subnet
          destination: any
          (Gateway: WAN1 or WAN2 oder Gateway Group if you created one)

          If you like full access from LAN-A to LAN-B AND to the internet, then you could only use the second rule.

            /28 is .0 for the subnet, and .16 for the broadcast :)

            i already done both example, i probably have something somewhere blocking the lan. i will try a fresh install and check if its working.
            i'm sure it' obvious :)

            Thanks

              (…)

              Of course, you are right ;-)
