Hello,

I am doing some testing and I have a Firewall (PFSense)whose LAN ip is 192.168.1.1/24 and it acting as my DHCP server and DNS forwarder. Then I have a cisco router which has 2 interfaces e0/0 is 192.168.1.2/24. This network works fine, Computer on that netwrok are getting IP addresses from the Firewall and can get on the internet.

On the cisco router I have e0/1 setup as 192.168.93.1/24 and I also configured a DHCP server on the cisco given out ip addresses from 192.168.93.100 - 150 and clients are getting IP's correctly. From the clients on the 93 network I can ping 192.168.1.2 (e0/0 on Cisco) but I cannot ping 192.168.1.1 (Firewall). The problem is that the clients on the 192.168.93.0/24 network cannot access the internet, dns is not working or reachable?

Here is part of the config from my Cisco, if you need to see more I can include it:

Does the firewall have a route to the 192.168.93.x/24 network??

Thanks, it does now and i can ping the firewall and outside sites using IP addresses but DNS is not working. Any idea why?
 
you can ping the public DNS server??

You don't need the ip-helper address command. That could be screwing you up a bit...can't exactly see why at this point, but you do not need it. Clients are not crossing an L3 boundary.

Hey unclerico thanks for the help, the firewall route was the inital problem, other guys thanks for the help with this. I think that the problem was that I had this in the config:

no ip domain-lookup
I removed that and added this:
ip name-server 208.67.222.222
and things started to work. Thanks for your help.

We use the IP helper address command in some offices because DHCP is done over a WAN connection on different subnets.
 
I have one more question that I am going to add to this because there is a good history in this thread already. My Firewall initiates an IPSEC tunnel to another office when needed. The network address of that network is 172.16.236.0 /22

When I ping 172.16.236.14 (for instance) from the 192.168.1.0 network I can get replies but when I try to ping that address from the 192.168.93.0 network I get Responce timed out. Any Ideas why?
 
chances are your crypto acl doesn't have the 192.168.93.0/24 network listed

sorry what do you mean by crypto ACL?
 
Traffic from the local network to the remote network that gets encrypted by IPSEC.
