I would use static IPs on the 2WIRE LAN and pfSense WAN side and see if you can put a static route into the 2WIRE box. Use DHCP on the LAN side of the pfSense box. Even if pfSense has no WAN connection it should work fine as a router/switch. Your picture is a little confusing download "network notepad" and redraw your topology.

Well guys, after reading around some tutorials about Bridge Mode with this modem, pfsense couldn't authenticated with this modem. I read a lot of info from dslreports.com about this issue, follow some docs, but no success. Right now i just will be part of the DMZPlus, and if i get this to work i let u know guys, thanks all for your help!!! 2007/9/4, Alberto Moreno <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: Hi guys. I already try the DMZ-Plus stuff, but look what i need to do, and after this, if i reboot my pfsense i need to do this again: 1; Disable DHCP server in my pfsense. 2; Put my WAN nic in DHCP mode. 3; Enable DHCP Server inside 2WIRE 4; Detect inside 2WIRE my PFsense-WAN 5; Put my PFsenseWAN in DMZPlus 6; Disable 2WIRE dhcp server 7; Enable DHCP server inside PFsenseLAN 8; After this i can use PFsense. But if for some reasons i reboot my pfsense, a lost everything, i need to do this again, is very exhausted. Now, another thing, look this is my small network: DSL <-- | | --------------------- ---------------------------- | | <-----PfsenseWAN--- | PFsense Box | <--- | 2WIRE | <-----LAN Switch---- --------------------------- | --------------------- | | PfsenseLAN | | | | | --------------------------- | | |--->| | <--| Internet | LAN Switch | --------------------------- <-----> Clients LAN Now why this settings??? 1; If i disconnect my 2WIRE from my switch, i lost all communication from my LAN, i couldn't access 2WIRE settings inside my LAN. 2; " , none of my clients could access Internet. I was trying to access my ISP from pfsense, i setup my WAN for PPPoE, all the settings like before, but pfsense cannot negotiated with ISP, i still don't now why, looks like 2WIRE doesn't want to let other device handled the connection. Now i need to check about the bridge mode see how it works. I will let u know guys, thanks for your help!!! 2007/9/3, Mike <[EMAIL PROTECTED] >: Alberto Moreno wrote: > > Hi people. > > This week my ISP told me that i need to change my old modem: DSL modem > speedstream 5400, just a modem.

I have the same gateway, and I just set the PFsense box in DMZ plus mode (in the 2wire gateway) and specified that it gets the external IP from my ISP. I am thinking that the 2wire's allow for proprietary firmware/ software for each ISP though, so this may not work for you. When you attempt to log in, do you use the http://<gateway address>? The address you type in here is found in your PFsense WAN gateway. After you have made the changes in your 2wire, you will need to reboot the pfsense box.
