Greetings, I have an ADSL modem that is not currently in use, but will be soon. When said modem is connected directly by cable to pfsense's WAN, and the appropriate address/netmask assigned statically to the WAN (192.168.1.0/24), I can reach the modem's web interface at its assigned address (192.168.1.1) from a host on the LAN (192.168.2.0/24).
However, if I assign the modem a different address (192.168.4.2), place the modem on a different interface (192.168.4.1/24), attached directly to pfsense by cable again, now I cannot reach it from the LAN. On the LAN I have, for the purpose of testing, a rule to permit all from all. I have a similar rule on the opt interface that the modem is attached to. Both of these rules are set to log. When I ping the modem from pfsense I get responses. The modem appears in the arp table. Yet, for some reason, when I ping from a LAN host, I see the ping request show up in the log, but no response is received. I did a packet capture on pfsense and I see the icmp request go out, but nothing comes back from the modem. Similarly I can't bring up the modem's web interface in this configuration. Any idea what's going on here? I'm thinking I've overlooked something in the firewall config, but it should be a pretty simple setup for testing. I tried resetting states and rebooting, but no change. I'm not sure why I can reach this modem when it's on the WAN, but not when it's attached to another interface.
