General Questions

Hi All,

I have Nokia IP120. I was able to install m0n0wall fine. I used the m0n0wall Live Installer CD - FreeBSD 5.3-RELEASE (92.4 MB) March 25, 2005. I changed the Mac address according to instructions on the web. The issue is IP connectivity between the host PC and the m0n0wall box.  The host PC is able to get IP address from the m0n0wall box with the right subnet mask and default gateway, but I am unable to ping from the host to the m0n0wall box.  The web GUI is not working either.   There is no firewall installed at host PC.  You help will be greatly appreciated.   

thanks

After doing some research on the net, I found what the problem was. The document that followed during install indicated that the spoofmac statement should be under the ip address statement but that is not correct. The spoofmac statement should be entered right after  <if>fxp0</if> statement.


                   This didn’t work for for me
                       
                          <lan>
                       <if>fxp0</if>
                       <ipaddr>192.168.1.1</ipaddr>
                       <spoofmac>xy:xy:xy:xy:xy:xy</spoofmac>
                       <subnet>24</subnet>
               </lan>
               <wan>
                       <if>fxp1</if>
                       <blockpriv/>
                       <mtu/>
                       <spoofmac>xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx</spoofmac>
                       <ipaddr>dhcp</ipaddr>
                       <dhcphostname/>
               </wan>

I corrected the issue by moving the spoofmac statement right after <if>fxp0</if>

                          <lan>
                       <if>fxp0</if>
                                 <spoofmac>xy:xy:xy:xy:xy:xy</spoofmac>   
                       <ipaddr>192.168.1.1</ipaddr>
                       <subnet>24</subnet>
               </lan>
               <wan>
                       <if>fxp1</if>
                                <spoofmac>xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx</spoofmac>
                       <blockpriv/>
                       <mtu/>
                       <ipaddr>dhcp</ipaddr>
                       <dhcphostname/>
               </wan>
