[Solved] pppoe wan can't access internet
-
trying to install pfsense 2.1.4 but the box can't access the internet, not even from the console. The WAN is set up as a pppoe client and is successfully served with a public ip address from a Mikrotik router, which is essentially connected to a leased line.
When pinging the BBC from the console, it does manage to get DNS (from 8.8.8.8 ) but fails to get responses from the BBC (you can normally). I can't ping the DNS server either.
If I set pfsense up as a DHCP client WAN, everything works fine, including service on the LAN.
I've attached some screen shots of the setup.
Please help!
Thanks

sorry folks, the cause was stupidity!
The ip address that the pppoe server was handing out was already in use. I changed it to an unused address and everything sprang into life!
