No ping and internet access on OPT1

pfsense-newbie

Hi all,

I'm new to pfsense. Please apologize for incomplete or unclear information or posting in the wrong section (I assume it's a firewall issue?).
Searching the web and the forum didn't solve my problem. Hope, I didn't overlook an important posting. Hopefully you can help.

My setup (pfsense 2.2.2) is
WAN - static IP - 192.168.11.11 - NAT enabled - standard gw is 192.168.11.10
LAN - static IP - 192.168.14.10
OPT1 - static IP - 192.168.15.10
OPT2 - static IP - 192.168.16.10 - at the moment unused

Firewall rules for OPT1 are similar to the LAN interface: IPv4 TCP OPT1 net * * * * none

NAT: automatic rules
WAN 127.0.0.0/8 192.168.14.0/24 192.168.15.0/24 192.168.16.0/24 * * 500 WAN address * YES
WAN 127.0.0.0/8 192.168.14.0/24 192.168.15.0/24 192.168.16.0/24 * * * WAN address * NO

My intention is to configure and use OPT1 like LAN: full access to the internet, free communication between LAN and OPT1 (NAT just for outbound traffic via WAN Interface)

Services: DNS forwarder is NOT enabled
Services: DNS Resolver is enabled for all interfaces with DNSSEC Support

LAN is working fine. Ping and internet access are working fast and fine.
However, ping from any client in the OPT1 network to 192.168.15.10 failed. Name resolution and internet access also failed.

What is wrong or missing? Is it a firewall issue?
What can I do?

Thanx a million for your advice.

EMWEE

Thats because you only allow TCP.

Ping uses ICMP
DNS uses UDP port 53

Hi EMWEE,

thanks a million. The obvious - and I didn't have it in mind - shame on me.

Thanks again!
