New installation

[kryp]

Newbie question :

I have a static public ip address  aaa.aaa.aa.3

My router Ip is xxx.xx.x.86  255.255.255.252 (connected through wimax)
My Gateway is xxx.xx.x.85

I do not get internet connection at all , and wan side shows connected with good dns address.

My ISP says problem come from natting.

Can anyone help how to setup pfsense correctly to make it work

Thanks

What exactly is your problem?
is aaa.aaa.aa the same as xxx.xx.xx ?
Are you trying to route a public subnet behind pfSense?
Or do you have just a single private IP?

(you could generally provide a bit more information –> http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,7001.0.html )

hi GruensFroeschli

is aaa.aaa.aa the same as xxx.xx.xx ?

no its not same, aaa.aaa.aa is my static public ip address and xxx.xx.x.86 is the ISP winmax ip address with

Are you trying to route a public subnet behind pfSense?
yes i think that is the  idea .

[Cry Havok]

Can you publish the real IPs?

[kryp]

yes

I have a static public ip address  196.192.8x.x

My router Ip is 172.30.x.86  255.255.255.252 (connected through wimax)
My Gateway is 172.30.x.85

My dns resolve corectly as per Isp details viewed status >  interface

and i can ping my gateway 172.30.x.85 with 0 loss

[GruensFroeschli]

um….
Those are private IP's and NOT public IP's.
(the 172.30 IP's)

So your WAN lies in a private subnet.
Try to disable the "Block RFC1918" checkbox on the WAN page.

I assume your provider just forwards the traffic for the public 196.192.8x.x IP to your private 172.30.x.86 IP.

[kryp]

tried already to disable the "Block RFC1918" checkbox on the WAN page

but still no internet connection

[GruensFroeschli]

What provider is that?
Could you find out if they just forward the traffic from the public IP you have to your private IP on your WAN?
What subnet do you have behind pfSense?
You dont per chance have 196.192.8x.x as your subnet behind pfSense, do you? (which should not work)

[kryp]

the subnet is 255.255.255.252

they just installed a cisco 851 router and it is working, but tomorrow i will get the config then i will paste it here

but i wish to use pfsense as i will have 2 ISP, one of them is working good with pfsense, only the Wimax one is getting this problem

thanks

[GruensFroeschli]

255.255.255.252 is the netmask not the subnet. –> .252 is a /30 subnet, meaning that only the router and a single IP can be in the subnet.
Are you really sure that you have only 1 IP behind pfSense? (i kind of doubt that)

Let me rephrase the question: do you have public IP's behind pfSense or private IP's?

(private IP's are
192.168.x.x
172.16.x.x up to 172.31.x.x
10.x.x.x )

Since you already have a private IP on the WAN you have to make sure that the IP's behind the pfSense are in another range.

[kryp]

here is cisco conig that working :

From my reading of that you have:

ISP –-- (172.30.x.86/30) Cisco/pfSense (192.168.1.1) --- Internal LAN ---<somewhere>--- 196.192.8x.x

Would that be correct?</somewhere>

[kryp]

Its more like this right now :

INTERNET      –-> ISP                              ---> WiMax              --->    CISCO ---> INTERNAL LAN
FIXED IP                PRIVATE STATIC IP          Wireless Connection                            DHCP 192.168.1.1
196.192.8x.x          172.30.x.86
                          gateway 172.30.x.85

but i would like to remove the cisco completely and insert Pfsense instead .

[Cry Havok]

Ok, so 196.192 is a red herring - it isn't actually allocated to any of your devices?

What device handles the Wireless connection?
