I have been banging my head against the wall on this for a couple of days now - thought I had tried everything, but obviously not...
I have the following networking scenario...
ISPs Router Edge (21.34.6.113)
to
My Cisco Router WAN (21.34.6.114/30)
My Cisco Router LAN (209.138.66.217/29)
to
My Office GW/NAT/FW WAN (209.138.66.218/29)
My Office GW/NAT/FW LAN (10.10.111.1/24)
This all works fine - but I am trying to replace the Cisco with a pfSense box. I have ip_forward set to 1 and the following in the routing table:
DESTINATION GW FLAGS INTERFACE
default 21.34.6.113 UGS xl0 (WAN)
21.34.6.112/30 * U xl0 (WAN)
21.34.6.114 * UHS lo0
209.138.66.216/29 * U xl1 (LAN)
209.138.66.217 * UHS lo0
127.0.0.1 * UH lo0
From my 10.10.111.x network I can ping 21.34.6.114 fine, but when I try 21.34.6.113 (or any other public address) it fails - it seems that I cannot get the traffic to pick up the default route ?? Maybe it is finding the default route, but something else is wrong - but I really don't know what to check next (linux novice)
I have checked that the firewall is off (also tried on with everything wide open), NAT is off...
Nothing seems to work - any pointers much appreciated !!
Thanks .. Ken
