I clicked too fast a number of times without doing the update to the dhcp range as well. Another way to regain access. Set the adapter on your computer to an ip in the new subnet (static not dhcp). Once you regain access and update dhcp, change it back. Andrew
[pfSense Support] A REALLY Simple Question, Really
Alix running pf 20 RC1 nano. Trying to change from default 192.168.1.x network to 192.168.100.x on the LAN interface - nothing fancy. WHAT I DID With DHCP enabled and serving on 192.168.1.x, tried to change LAN ip using the web GUI. I can guess why it does not work - DHCP is trying to serve on the old network and the LAN is trying to change it's network. Don't get any love on either network. Turning DHCP off - figured I'd assign my laptop a new address manually since there is no DHCP. Nothing on either network. I think it's time to go read the book.

It might be easiest for you to fix this from the console. Log in (if you have it configured to require login), then choose option 2 from the menu (Set interface(s) IP address). Make sure you enter the DHCP addresses in full: i.e. 192.168.100.x. - Yehuda

Reset your interfaces on the console as Yehuda said, then reboot from the console if it's still not working. Pfsense sometimes requires a reboot after editing the interfaces, even though it does not prompt you. db - To unsubscribe, e-mail: support-unsubscr...@pfsense.com For additional commands, e-mail: support-h...@pfsense.com Commercial support available - https://portal.pfsense.org

Re: [pfSense Support] A REALLY Simple Question, Really
Next time, when you change the LAN interface subnet just don't press APPLY. It actually gives you a RED notice to go ahead and change DHCP server range as well and then come back and press APPLY. That is what happens with pfSense 1.2.3 If that is not the case with pfSense 2.x then the developers have made a great mistake in coding as console is the last thing you want to do (since cable and serial port is not always readily available) Regards, On Fri, Apr 29, 2011 at 8:15 PM, Mehma Sarja mehmasa...@gmail.com wrote: On 4/29/11 2:05 PM, Yehuda Katz wrote: On Fri, Apr 29, 2011 at 4:49 PM, Mehma Sarja mehmasa...@gmail.comwrote: Alix running pf 20 RC1 nano.

Re: [pfSense Support] A REALLY Simple Question, Really
In 2.x the notice says press apply, THEN go change DHCP. I've tried it both ways w/o success. Again, I'll caveat this by saying that I didn't wait around, perhaps long enough for the Alix to come back. And that could be the cause of my confusion.
