      I'm new to PFsense, been using Smoothwall 3.0 Polar before.

      The problem is that I can't get Skype work with OPT2, which is the interface that serves wireless devices in this environment. I have made a rule on WAN interface to allow all traffic to the specific IP of the Skype phone and another rule on OPT2 interface to allow all traffic to WAN. FW logs don't suggest anything out of the ordinary.

      What am I doing wrong?

      Thanks!

        Hi oippi:

        Not sure about others but I stopped reading minds when I got married.    ;D

        Can you share more information about the makeup of your network?? (WAP's, Switches, ect…)   And maybe some screenshots of your rules en such.

        I have a customer I just put on 2.1 that does meeting from around the globe on Skype...   No extra rules, port forwarding or funny dances in front of the router to make it work...  Netgears (5 tries)  that the cable co. gave him was dropping connections thus the reason I got the job...   Not one drop since then.    (2.1 (freebsd 8.3) due to needed driver not in 2.0.1 (freebsd 8.1))...

        :)
