      Hi everyone, I'm a long time Ipfire user who has decided to try out Pfsense and enjoying it pretty well so far.  Many of the features and packages are a lot more straight forward and I really like the look and feel of it too.  I have one problem that is probably simple but I just can't get past it. No matter what I have tried I can not get internet access to devices connected to the wireless part of my lan.  I'll put a little description of my setup and any point in the right direction would be great.  I'm sure I'm missing something simple but like I said I just keep hitting a wall on this.

      WAN
      Lan –  192.168.1.....  with dhcp running
      Wireless  --  192.168.2... with dhcp running  "internal wireless card"

      I have no problems getting wireless clients connected but I can't seem to get them internet access.

        Rules are not automatically added to any interfaces other than LAN when you install.

        DO NOT set a source address/port in a port forward or firewall rule unless you KNOW you need it!

          Just make sure you didn't configure any upstream gateway on your lan interface.
          Check DHCP settings and make sure your clients get the correct settings from your pfsense DHCP.
