No Internet, But Pfsense box can ping
-
Hi everyone.
I had pfsense box up and running for a couple of days and was working great with all the features i wanted it to do(vpn and network wide adblock)
No I went and plugged in the printer to the network and the whole thing just crashed and has not been running for the past couple of hours no matter what I do.
the setup is as follows
ISP > Modem(Bob Lite) > Pfsense Box > Switch > Clients(3 of them)
I now this is not the ideal way to run Pfsense but i have not yet been able to get the modem to go into bridged mode correctly.
I had it all work in this setup for the past couple of days and then needed the printer, so i connected the printer to the Modem.
Then it all goes downhill from there, all of a sudden i lose internet and i have no idea why, so i disconnect the printer and no fix.
I have restarted the Pfsense box and the modem multiple times to no avail.
I cannot connect to the WebGUI from the Clients and i cannot even ping it. I cannot ping 8.8.8.8 or Google.com
when i try load a webpage from browser it sometimes says DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NO_INTERNET and i researched that but no fixes seemed to work.
Any help would be really appreciated.
Alex.

….. so i connected the printer to the Modem.
Modem ? I would have chosen for the "switch", so your printer is in your LAN and visible for your other devices.
Why connecting another device to you 'modem' (it has a build in switch ?) broke the connection, that, of course, is unknown. -

I forgot to mention that i have internet with whatever is connected directly to the modem, but anything from the Pfsense box on-wards does not have internet.

Reset the Box to Factory Defaults and it is still giving me the same error, if i could connect to the Box via WebGUI i could more than likely fix it, but no matter what i do it just times out on connecting to Pfsense even if it is just a straight cable from box to pc.
Anyone have any ideas?
