Re: [pfSense Support] Tutorial Request: Setting up OPT1 for WiFi
Thanks Tim - I was connecting the AP's WAN port to my OPT1 interface. Once I changed that, it worked better. I'm still having a few problems but I think I've narrowed them down to a defective AP. Paul On 8/31/07, Tim Nelson [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Paul- Run an ethernet cable from your OPT1 interface to one of your switch/LAN ports on your AP. Make sure it is NOT the WAN/Internet port. Disable DHCP on the AP. You may also want to configure MAC filtering, Encryption, and authentication on the AP. In pfSense, enable DHCP on your OPT1, and put in your firewall rules. You may wish to start with an Allow all FROM anywhere TO anywhere rule to get started before locking things down. I know this isn't a 'tutorial' as you requested, but it can at least give you a good start. I run a Linksys WRT54G with DD-WRT on an OPT interface in several locations. Feel free to ask more questions.

I would like to have the Linksys provide the wireless service but have the DHCP, firewall, etc services handled by pfSense. Would anybody be willing to write a tutorial on this for http://www.pfsense.com/index.php?id=36 ? It seems like this would be useful to a number of people.

Re: [pfSense Support] LAN / WAN Disconnections continue in 1.2-RC1, Intel Pro/1000GT NICs with 370M RAM
Few ISPs (especially home users offers) reset their connection every 24h. I don't live in New Zealand, so I don't know Telstraclear Network, but are you really sure is it an equipment issue or a line problem (e.g. interferences, etc...)? If you can, try another cable modem. Bye! --- Tortise [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I was not surprised that the Motorola 5100 cable modem on the Telstraclear Network in New Zealand also lost connectivity within the first 24 hours of operation. For pfSense the 5100 seems no more compatible than the 5101. Given there seem to be no reports of people having problems on other networks with these modems, what is it about the Telstraclear cable network?

I think you missed the first half dozen messages in this thread. The
cable modem has been replaced (and others on Telstraclear have had the
same issue apparently). Most likely it's some wierd dhcp lease
expiration or MAC expiration. Although, unlikely to be MAC expiration
if the icmp polling isn't keeping the mac tables fresh.
This is DHCP right? Check out /var/db/dhclient.leases.*
lease {
interface sis0;
fixed-address 24.1.x.x;
option subnet-mask 255.255.254.0;
option routers 24.1.66.1;
option domain-name-servers 68.87.72.130,68.87.77.130;
option host-name topell;
option domain-name hsd1.il.comcast.net.;
option broadcast-address 255.255.255.255;
option dhcp-lease-time 345600;
option dhcp-message-type 5;
option dhcp-server-identifier 68.87.72.44;
renew 2 2007/9/4 06:43:38;
rebind 3 2007/9/5 18:43:38;
expire 4 2007/9/6 06:43:38;
}
It'd be interesting to see what the lease times are.

Thanks Bill
They are static IP's, so I assume (you may know better?) DHCP lease times are
(or should be?) irrelevant.
Not sure if this what you mean but this might answer?
$ ls /var/db/
entropy
ipsecpinghosts
pingmsstatus
pingstatus
pkg
rrd
Kind regards

Re: [pfSense Support] Several public ip's on WAN port
Cedric Gavage wrote: Hi, I've a question... Can I use a pfsense solution for this case: The internet provider gives one fixed ip which will be configured on the WAN interface. Towards this fixed ip's, a range of 6 others ip's is routed (not in the same subnet). Can I configure on a pfsense these several ip's as alias ip's on the WAN interface (virtual ip/proxy arp?) ? These ip's will be used with port forwarding towards internal lan ip's. Yes, you will need to add them as VIP's of some sort. Since it's a routed subnet you can use Other which is the situation this type is intended for (you don't need to reply to ARP on IP's that are routed directly to you), but Proxy ARP and CARP will work as well. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
