Re: [pfSense Support] Dual WAN, but only 1 default route...
I had a setup similar to this for a while. Our cable company offers static IPs now. You will need to setup the Cable connection as your WAN connection. If I remember correctly, this is the only interface you can setup using DHCP. You will add your DSL as OPT1 and use you NAT rules to define what traffic goes out over each connection based on your needs. You will handle this with rules on the LAN interface for outgoing connections. Because one of the connections is DHCP you will have to use this as a policy based dual wan setup as it is labeled in the docs.

Re: [pfSense Support] Dual WAN, but only 1 default route...
This is partially incorrect. There is no need to make the cable modem the primary provider. It should work with DHCP on the OPTX interfaces as well. I am running a Cable modem at my work now on OPT4 and it works fine. But remember, the key is the gateway option in each firewall rule. This is how you utilize multi-wan routing.

RE: [pfSense Support] Dual WAN, but only 1 default route...
Apologies, should have been less vague in my descriptions... I'm also using DHCP on my OPTX interface: Rules look like... *LAN net * * * GATEWAY LAN - WAN2 I had a hard time getting it to work at first and resetting the modem/router/or switch in front of the firewall fixed it. It was holding on to the old MAC before the firewall was plugged in. So to be safe... shutdown all your equip and unplug (be sure power is drained completely) then power everything back on and you shouldn't have a problem! -Tim -Original Message- From: Scott Ullrich [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, January 19, 2007 11:24 AM To: support@pfsense.com Subject: Re: [pfSense Support] Dual WAN, but only 1 default route...
