Pfsense and freenas
-
You might get better help in section of your native language.
What is the IP address of pfsense lan interface? 10.1.1.? What is the IP of your freenas 10.?.?.?
What is the mask /8 /24? 255.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 ??
Those IPs you gave are not on the same network, unless you have a very large mask. But why can you not give the exact IP?
When you say you loose internet, can you not get to pfsense web gui? Can you ping pfsense lan IP? You sure the freenas nic is not just bad spewing garbage? As mentioned - is there any errors on pfsense when this happens. Do a simple sniff on pfsense lan - what are you seeing. If you can not get to pfsense lan when you turn on freenas..

If none of these boxes are virtual then I wouldn't waste the time getting their MAC addresses.
What is your DNS server? Here is a test. Turn on your FreeNAS box and then try to go to www.cnn.com. If that fails, try to go to http://157.166.239.177 or http://157.166.238.48. If that works then your problem is DNS only. Try to localize the problem to your entire connection or just DNS alone.

hi kom
i just done what you had asked to turn on the freenas and try to click onto the link.
none of them worked.i am more confused now then before please please help.
many thanks in advance

So none of them worked at all, especially the IP address-based ones?
-
Your DNS servers are not the problem. Did you check your System log in pfSense (Status - System Logs) and whatever log FreeNAS has? Are your LAN clients static IP or DHCP?

hi kom
this is from gateways log in pfsense

Yep. Doesn't get more conclusive than that. ;)
Change the FreeNAS IP.Steve

hi steve and derelict
hi thanks for your reply, i am slow in this field please point me to right direction which ip address you are pointing to and how to change that please. at least my family be able to use there internet properly.
many thanks
-
In FreeNAS hit Network, Interfaces, click your interface, click edit. You need to set it to an unused IP address.
-
hi derelict
thanks for your reply i might sound silly but may i ask how did you know i have duplicate ip address for freenas.
please if you don't mind
many thanks

pfSense is telling you in it's log. 'Something is using my IP'. It must be FreeNAS since the issue starts when it boots. It gives you the MAC though so you can check.

Click on Interfaces, Select your Interface, Click Edit.

Glad to see that this issue is almost fixed. This would have gone much faster if we had the correct information from the start with regard to the IP addresses of pfSense and FreeNAS, and if you had a little more knowledge of TCP/IP and networking in general.

Everyone was there at some point. ;)

hi everybody
first of all i like to say a very big thanks to all for your support. i have got the internet still working with everybody help in here. i got still one small problem with my freenas server i lost my ipmi connection with it. my original problem was losing internet connection once the freenas server comes on. i changed my (IPv4 Default Gateway) and ( Nameserver 1) in freenas under global configuration which was same as my pfsense ip address. but since then i can't use my ipmi connection. any advice please
many thanks

what?? You would want your gateway and name server to be pfsense IP.. What other gateway do you have? What other name server? In a typical setup, all lan devices would use pfsense as their gateway off the lan, and as the nameserver - ie to lookup www.google.com
You need to change the IP of your freenas, not to be the same as pfsense lan IP, ie the big warning pfsense was telling you
"kernel: arp: 02:62:91:00:11:0b is using my IP address 10.0.1.2 on em1"
So what did you change the freenas IP to be?? What IP did you or do you have setup on the IPMI?
-
All IP addresses need to be unique on your network segment. This also applies to your IPMI. You probably need to reboot, get into your IPMI config, and be sure it has been given unique and proper network settings.
-
Hmm, raises the possibility that the IPMI interface could have been causing trouble all along. :-\

I'd put my money on the IPMI and FreeNAS now having the same IP.
