PFSense seemingly not working..

[BigBadAl]

OK, I have PFSense installed on a PIII866 with 512MB and 20GB with Red, Green and Orange.

Now if I connect this to my current setup I can access it thru it`s configured LAN IP, I had a play and thought "OK good stuff, time to try this out properly"

I installed this box in place of my current IPCop box: Red to CM, Green to LAN and Orange to DMZ.

Rebooted my CM and watched PFSense pick an IP Address up from my ISP via DHCP. all seemed well.

Now with it all set up this way, I can still access the box via the LAN IP but no internet access or DMZ access.

More reboots followed and still no access to web or DMZ. DHCP works fine on LAN and in the rules part I have a rule to pass all from LAN to ANY. I`ve even removed the rule and reinstated it and still no go. No web pages load no pings/tracerts get out.

So, once again, I`m lost. I just can`t see what or where the problem is, It`s gotta be something simple, that much I do know, but what or where, I dunno.

Please help

Thanks

Can the pfSense box ping the outside world?

Your isp may be doing mac address filtering. My old isp would only allow one mac address on their modem so even though I was getting an ip I would get no internet access. I would have to call them and have them clear out the cached mac address they had so it would allow the new one. When i switched over to a pfsense box I just used the built in mac address spoofer and gave the wan interface the mac of my old linksys router and it worked like a charm.

No, PFSense cannot ping the outside world

As far as MAC filtering goes that`s a no go, I`m pretty sure of that... haven`t needed to do any sort of MAC spoofing with my ISP for YEARS!

In fact I`ve pretty much covered it I think over on the PFSense forums....
