PfSense internet does not work ( Need desperate help!! )
-
Hi,
I am an pfSense noob, but knows a lot of pc hardware.(also I can get lots of it and high rated)
I am going to ask LOTS of questions, but I will get more experienced over time.
My pfSense router/firewall specs:Processor: Intel Xeon x3440
Motherboard: Asus p7e-x/mr
Ram: 4x 2gb 1333mhz kingston ram (8gb)
Ethernet:
2x onboard intel 1000(gb) links
2x Tp-Link TG-3468 1000(gb) links
(I am going to add an 10GB link to it later)
So power is not the problem.The real problem:
If I have the WAN connected to my modem(port 1), and my PC connected to the modem(port 2) I can acces the Website for my config.
But if I add an LAN interface and connect the LAN to my pc(it's actually an server) I cant acces the Website anymore. I removed the LAN with the console with (1)Assign Interfaces and than I didnt assign it anymore. Than it worked again.
If you need more information that I can deliver, ask for it.Already thanks for reading/helping

Hi,
I was an little bit unclear about the section:
But if I add an LAN interface and connect the LAN to my pc(it's actually an server) I cant acces the Website anymore.
I meant:
I have the link to the modem AND to my pfSense box.
-
Why does nobody respond? ….
All what I ask is what I need to do for getting my pfSense box up and running firewall / router mode...
-
Please provide your settings for WAN and LAN. For most uses it just works out of the box. When you configured your LAN, did you give it a gateway? You don't specify a gateway for LAN connections so remove it if you did.
-
Yes, but if I add my lan interface(softwarematicly) I cant acces my webconfigurator anymore
-
WAN:
General:
IPv4 Configuration Type: Static IPv4 (192.168.2.99)
IPv6 Configuration Type: DHCP6MAC: –-------------------
MTU: ---------------------
MSS: ---------------------Static IPv4 config:
IPv4 adress: 192.168.2.99 /24
IPV4 upstream gateway: GW_WAN - 192.168.2.99I cant deliver LAN, because it doesnt work then anymore.
-
That makes it look like you're putting the same IP on LAN as you have on WAN? You can't do that with any router or firewall.
-
YOu have two things wrong. As Chris mentioned, you appear to be using the same IP address for your WAN and LAN, which will never work. You also seem to be specifying a gateway for LAN, which is incorrect.
Change your LAN IP address to a different private subnet (try 172.16.0.1) and do NOT specify a gateway. Only your WAN needs a gateway.
-
No, I use for my WAN 192.168.2.99 and for my LAN 192.168.2.100
-
no 192.168.x.1-255 change the X
-
No, I use for my WAN 192.168.2.99 and for my LAN 192.168.2.100
Unless you are using stupidly small subnets those IPs are in the same range. You cannot have both interfaces in the same subnet range and expect things to work.
-
No, I use for my WAN 192.168.2.99 and for my LAN 192.168.2.100
You cannot have your WAN and LAN on the same subnet. Assuming you're using a mask of 255.255.255.0 (also known as /24) then as grandrivers said you need to change your LAN IP to something outside that subnet.
-

If I am at home I will try that. Thanks already for helping me.
-
Yes, It works! (I can acces the site with the LAN) But!!! If I go to network on my server it says: NETWORK 2: Limited.
-
What do you have for your current LAN settings on pfSense, and what do you have for network settings on your Windows server?
-
My current LAN settings on my pfSense are:
GENERAL CONFIG
Enable (V) Enable Interface
Desc. LAN
IPv4 conf. type Static IPv4
MAC –-----------------------------
MTU -------------------------------
MSS -------------------------------STATIC IPV4 CONFIG
IPv4 Adress 192.168.1.1 /24
IPv4 upstream gateway (NONE)I dont Use IPv6
PRIVATE NETWORKS
( ) Block Private Networks
(V) Block Bogan NetworksOn my win server: I dont use any settings for ethernet.
-
And KOM, You are an GREAT helper!

OK, that wasn't quite what I was looking for but no matter. FYI when we ask for WAN/LAN details, we want to know your IP address, netmask and gateway values.
If I remember, Windows sees you attached to a different network than before. Your new network is Network1 and the old one is Network2. It's complaining that your old network is unstable. You should either delete that network or just ignore its status. I'm assuming that everything else is working fine?
On my win server: I dont use any settings for ethernet.
What do you mean? You mean you have it set to the default of Obtain an IP address automatically? If you have DHCP enabled on LAN with pfSense, then your Windows server should have gotten a valid IP address and you wouldn't have had the problems you had at all.
-
Wait, Wait.
So you just say: Go to ethernet settings and set up: Static ip 192.168.1.1
-
Go to ethernet settings and set up: Static ip 192.168.1.1
NO!! That is the IP address of the pfSense LAN interface. All IP addresses must be unique. This is basic networking. If you want to use static IP then set your Windows server IP address to 192.168.1.2.
If you enable DHCP on pfSense LAN then you don't have to specify static IP addresses, but that is up to you.
-
Welp… Not getting ethernet anymore.
I set up this:WAN: 192.168.2.99 /24
LAN: 192.168.1.1 /24I have one and only direct connection with my server to the pfSense box. (the pfSense does have the WAN and the LAN connected)
When I go to my browser and type 192.168.1.1:24 then I get the error: This Webpage Isn't available.
Soo... What do I need to do?
-

What? ??? Why are you pointing your browser to port 24? You do NOT type 24 into the browser, that is a netmask! :o
-
whoops I said it wrong, No I dont type :24

OK, we have spent enough time hunting and guessing in the dark. Please take and post the following screenshots:

-
Yes, but that is not the problem ! I cant acces the WebConfigurator. So I can make screenshots if you want but I cant acces it!!
-
Dude can you ping pfsense lan IP from the computer your trying to access the web gui from?
So can you ping 192.168.1.1 ?
From you computer is static or dhcp? Please post ipconfig /all – assuming your on windows?
-
Yes I can ping the pfsense box
and the settings are in the attachment!
-
then you should just be able to go http://192.168.1.1
Unless your browser is using a proxy that should open, or redirect you to https://192.168.1.1 and the webgui.
-
Okey, got it working again.
but still no ethernet through my pfSense

Well sure looks like ethernet is working to me if your connected to the gui..
So you set static on your PC.. If you meant no internet on your pc, yeah you didn't set any dns.. So how would you expect your pc to lookup anything?
-
If you meant no internet on your pc, yeah you didn't set any dns.. So how would you expect your pc to lookup anything?
err… sorry... I dont understand that!
Would you like to explain that a liiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitle bit more?
but I said already in the first post that I ask a lot of questions
-
Oh do I need to set the DNS to the pfSense box? maybe? …
-
you said ethernet, ethernet is not the internet.. That is your local network connection, etc.. which is clearly working if you can access the pfsense webgui via IP address.
Normally yes pfsense would dns for your network, but it can be anything you want. But if your going to setup a static IP and you want that box to resolve say www.google.com then yeah needs dns.. your picture was NOTHING.. So no shit kind of hard to resolve www.google.com or www.pfsense.com or www.cnn.com, etc. etc..
-
Sorry about the ethernet/internet problem, I am dutch already I said…(my english is not very good)
So... I can just put anything in the DNS box?
-
you can put in anything you want that is a valid nameserver that will resolve what you want.. Putting in say 8.8.8.8 (googledns) isn't going to resolve any local stuff that pfsense would know about, etc.
-
So …? Do I need to put in the dns box 8.8.8.8 ?
also I already tried that and still not getting internet
-
So from the web gui, go to diag, dns lookup - can you look up www.google.com for example
Go to diag, ping - can you ping 8.8.8.8 ? See attached screenshots
If you can not get to the internet, how are you posting this stuff?
-
I post these posts with my 2nd link to the internet, but want do put an better router inbetween it.
See attachments.
-
but want do put an better router inbetween it.
I mean an powerfuller router with 6 links( 1 WAN and 5 LAN) and a WIFI- card.

Can somebody help …?
