I have a freebsd router [5.2.1] setup at home running ipf/ipnat. everything seems to be working fine for getting out to the internet, and accessing the box from the outside. I'm trying to also make this system a wireless access point. Following the steps in the handbook, i installed a wi0 card, and bridged it to the internal interface on the router. Everything seems to be setup probably, and my ethernet connections still work fine. But I cant get to the internet using a wireless nic on my laptop. The laptop is able to connect to the network, and I can even ping -other- systems on the network [connected thru ethernet], but I cant ping the server or access the internet. The server isnt able to see any wireless clients. At first had ipfilter set default to block, i recompiled the kernel on the server with default to pass, but that didnt seem to change anything for the wireless. I've had this setup working before on a 4.x system. when i run tcpdump -i wi0 on the server and try to access a website from a wireless client, i get: 10:22:51.155344 arp who-has 192.168.1.1 tell 192.168.1.11 but pinging one of the other wired clients from a wireless client gets the expected icmp echo request and reply. Im scratching my head on this one. Im having a hard time finding information pertaining to systems that are combining a firewall router and wireless access point into one system. network layout dsl modem | | freebsd router and WAP------ | | | | wired wireless clients clients any ideas or suggestions are greatly appreciated. and if you could please CC me, I'm not on the list. thanks
