hello,

my problem is like this:

ENVIRONMENT:
WRAP Board with three Network intefaces
LAN      192.168.2.x
LAN01  192.168.3.x
WAN    PPPOE

The device works fine but i can use only the LAN OR LAN01 at the same time.

Example:
Ping from the LAN-Network (Windows Computer) to the internet: OK
Same time: ping from the LAN01-Network the the internet: NO Connection

If I stop the LAN-ping the LAN01-PING starts working. I can use only one interface LAN or LAN01 at the same time. The same with Web or FTP etc.

But why?

Tom

Web traffice is working fine. i can browse sites over this two networks at the same time, but ping command will work only for one at the same time ??!!

Yes, you can only ping a single host on the Internet from one NAT'ed machine simultaneously. ipnat (the NAT component used in m0n0wall) can only track one ICMP echo to a single Internet IP per public IP. Since in your environment everything is getting NAT'ed to the WAN IP, only one host can ping a given external IP simultaneously.
