      Hello All,

      I have just installed pfsense (pretty amazing product by the way :) ) but I haven't managed to get it doing what I hoped. Here is my setup:

      Internet Access: 192.168.1.254 (Sky Router)

      The above sits on 192.168.1.0/24.

      I have Hyper-V on a machine running Server 2008 R2. This has two Virtual Networks. One is internal the other is External and mapped to the network card on the 192.168.1.0/24 network. PF Sense is installed in the External Network and has a second network card that sits in the internal. The network configuration is as follows:

      WAN: 192.168.1.202
      LAN: 192.168.50.1

      So here is the troubleshooting information:

      From 192.168.50.0/24 I can ping all local devices and both IP addresses that are assigned to PFsense.
      From 192.168.1.0/24 I can ping the PFSense device.

      From PFsense I can ping and access google and all devices in 192.168.1.0/24 and .50.0/24.

      However I am unable to ping or access anything in 192.168.1.0/24 from the 192.168.50.0/24 network.

      I have created a firewall rule on the LAN interface that allows all traffic from .5.0/24 to all destinations to no avail.

      Any ideas?

      Cheers

      Paul

        Did you disable the blocking of private networks on the WAN interface?

            Are you firewalling or just doing simple routing? You might have a split route if the server in 192.168.1/24 is not using 192.168.1.202 as a gatway to access 192.168.50/24. You will probably need either a local route or a route setup in 192.168.1.254 to point 192.168.50/24 back to 192.168.1.202.

              Thanks Podilarius, that is probably the issue. When I tracert, I get a reponse from 50.1 but nothing after that. Checking the firewall logs, the data is passed through.

              The only issue is, I cant add routes to the sky router :'(

                You can add a route to the server to test.
