Problem sharing connexion

[tekzone]

Hello,

I am new to pfsense and I am loving the interface that you have developed. Although, I am becoming very exasperated with this situation.

I have on interface connected to my Netgear Router with DHCP adresse (192.168.1.2) and one interface connected to my second computer via a crossover cable (192.168.2.1). The pfsense box has perfect internet access and is able to ping google and all that.

On my second computer, I can access the webgui fine, I get an IP via the DHCP installed on the LAN interface and I can resolve hostnames. The problem is that I cannot pass a single packet accross the two interfaces. I have tried a million settings…

Concerning firewall rules, I have allowed all traffic from the LAN subnet to any destination pass. All the rest is by default.

What am I missing here ?

Thank you in advance and sorry if this is a really stupid question,

Antoine

I have seen one thing in the firewall logs. All the entries are listed as blocked and the reason listed is :

"@44 block drop in log quick all label "Defaut block just to be sure"

Same subnet on both interfaces will never work.
Search wikipedia for how basic networking works.

Turn off block bogons and block private networks in interfaces, wan.

Might have been a leftover arp cache problem

In the future try clearing the arp cache on any neighbor devices, switches, routers, etc.
