      Hello everyone !

      I've just install pfSense 2.1 on Alix device.( It works fine!)

      My configuration :
      LAN Port : 192.168.0.1 as DHCP server.
      WAN : IP from ISP with PPPoE connection.

      both interfaces are up.

      WAN is connected and pings outside.
      LAN is connected and pings inside.

      But I cannot ping from LAN to WAN –> Destination Host Unreachable.
      And WAN cannot reach my local machines (Firewall logs display that connections as blocked)
      pfSense can ping and traceroute from WAN interface but cannot from LAN.

      I added ICMP and DNS rules for all (* to *) : same issue.
      Same issue if  PF rules are disabled.
      I added DNS servers as OpenDNS and Google. Same issue.

      Is there something else I could do ?


      Updates :
      I compared with another firewall on production under pfsenes 2.0.3.
      This fw works fine and defined one Gateway only (WAN).
      The new fw has 2 gateways. one for LAn, one for WAN. I'll try to reduce to one and test it...

        And why would Lan have a gateway?  Do you have other lan networks that you need to get to?

        The install does not even ask you for this - so why did you put it on?  What did you put in?  Pfsense own address?
