I have recently installed pfsense 2.0.3 onto an old computer to create my oun router. I am running into problems with the webconfigurer. I input the ip address for the box in my browser (firefox) but it tells me that the connection timed out. I was able to get into the configurer once or twice but after making a few changes and saving them the same thing would happen. I very new to pfsense and have never been a geneius with software, I need some guidence on this topic. Any information would be greatly appreciated.
I assume you lock yourself out when changing the LAN interface IP address; when you do this remember to change the range from SERVICES > DHCP SERVER as well BEFORE applying the settings in the INTERFACES tab. I'm in a hurry so i'll just link you to another site, it's a great guide.
Thanks for the link it has a lot of information on it. However I'm not looking at making this a firewall I was hoping to make it a standalone router. Also when I set up the WAN and LAN options the default IP it gave me was 192.168.1.129. I dont know if this matters but it confussed me a little bit.
