CP and DNS
-
Hi all,
We are working with a system called Corinex in combination with PFsense.
Everything worked great and my clients were a always redirected to the login page of the CP.At this moment CP is not working anymore, as I did some changes which I can't remember :-[
All my clients with Corinex hardware are now allowed on the network and have full internet speeds and I'm wondering where I messed up
I have a slight clue that the trouble started when I changed the DNS server.
Can someone tell me if the entered DNS server in General Setup does matter if you use the CP?
Should I use the gateway address instead of for example 8.8.8.8?Thanks for your help in advance

Your clients should use pfsense as dns.
Use ipfw -x "zone" list to see why your clients can access the internet with the CP on.
-
The strange thing is that all the clients CAN access the internet when CP is on, but they are not presented the log-in screen first.

Post a detailed config of your network.
-
Ok what info would you need?
DNS is now configured as 212.54.35.25 and 212.54.40.25 which are default Ziggo DNS.
Can I change them into 172.16.0.1 as that is the IP of my PFsense?Furthermore there is some port forwarding and NAT configured, would you need all this info to?
-
Just post a detailed config of your LAN. It isnt that hard.
-
I see you haven't noticed the amount of Noobieness I carry with me but oke I assume you mean the following:
Lan IP Router: 172.16.0.1
Subnet 172.16.0.0
mask 255.255.0.0
DHCP is enabled
DHCP Range 172.16.1.1 - 172.16.4.254
DNS Forwarder is enabledIs that detailed enough?
Anyway, thanks in advance for your help. -
Your CP is activated on the LAN interface ?
How do you client connect ? a big switch between this LAN interface and clients ? An AP ? And if it is an AP, has the DHCP been shut down in the AP ? And the router mode has been disabled ?
When client get an IP, is it in the right network segment ( between 172.16.1.1 and 172.16.4.254 ) ? Another IP ? pfSEnse show that he gave that IP (see on Status => DHCP server page ) -
Also, are the DNS servers whitelisted on CP?
