Perhaps you can help.

EDIT: I should state that it's a clean install of 2.1

OK so I have a Cisco Router doing 1:1 pat for my public IPs to internal routers.
I use 78.32.221.105 for Cisco router 78.32.221.106 for my old smothwall and 78.32.221.107 translates to the new PFSense box. the others are spare/Dev or run true overloaded nat/pat for use as public WiFi.

Code:
snip
tcp 78.32.221.106:61980 172.16.250.250:61980 10.40.19.125:25601 10.40.19.125:25601
--- 78.32.221.106      172.16.250.250     ---                ---
tcp 78.32.221.107:49267 172.16.250.251:49267 209.66.240.46:80 209.66.240.46:80
tcp 78.32.221.107:53041 172.16.250.251:53041 110.92.25.69:53 110.92.25.69:53
tcp 78.32.221.107:53041 172.16.250.251:53041 110.92.25.69:81 110.92.25.69:81
--- 78.32.221.107      172.16.250.251     ---                ---

On the PFSense box I have a private IP of 172.16.250.251 which relates to inside global of *.*.*.107 and I set the Default Gateway to 172.16.250.1 which is the Cisco's Fa0/0


I know that is right.

On the PFSense box I un-checked the block private networks box.

Now if I try and ping from either Cisco or the PFSense I get time outs (yes the cable is in to the intermediate switch :D )

If I SH arp on Cisco I can see the PFSense MAC
Code:
Internet  172.16.250.251          0   001d.09ac.9c7b  ARPA   FastEthernet0/0

If I look at the arp table on on the PFSense I have only my direct attached laptop and the internal NICs ( Realtek® RTL8111D Gigabit LAN)

Why can the PFSense not see anything connected to the WAN any ideas?

Never mind
Some how I have ended up with the MAC of my laptop showing up on WAN but I'm sure I never pressed apply. Oh well.

Al sorted now tock lid off and read MAC off the board and I'm on line.
