Sorry, I was too quick. It only “somehow” works. Here's the current situation: I changed the WLAN (LAN) interface from no IP address to DHCP and I could see the pfSense box from the WLAN. Then I changed the cabling from the test setup to the original one. In particular, I unplugged the pfSense box from the WAN for a few seconds to remove a switch. After this change, I couldn't access the pfSense box any more. I plugged the switch again and got a new DHCP lease for the WLAN (LAN) interface. It showed 0.0.0.0 as IP. I don't know why, but it worked anyway. I can access the pfSense box from the WLAN *until I remove the cable again*, which I definitely need to do to remove the switch. Then I decided to use a static IP instead of DHCP, which worked, it survived the removal of the switch and I still have access to the pfSense box. I don't know if the randomly selected IP may collide with the IPs distributed by the DHCP server, so this solution might not be optimal. Anyway, all hosts see the IP of the pfSense box and my randomly selected one. All hosts in the WLAN (LAN) can see all other hosts in the WAN, including pfSense box, but they can't see each other. Why can't the hosts in the WLAN see each other? Regards Marco _______________________________________________ List mailing list List@lists.pfsense.org http://lists.pfsense.org/mailman/listinfo/list
