Hi ronski

In essence, yes, you can but with provisos that the attaching devices uses the pfsense for dhcp, or device dns set to pfsense

It's easier if using dhcp, as pfsense takes care of much of this for you, just as your old router would have

Many thanks

Hi ronski

Sorry, just heading out but I think it's services, dhcp and set dhcp as you need it

As I'm not sure where your current dhcp is assigned, I would turn this dhcp off, so you only then have the pfsense dhcp running

If you want, when I'm back later tonight, I'll take some screen shots for you

Many thanks

Hi Ronski

Please see pics for DHCP in pfsense.  If you add a static, and do not set an IPV4 address, it will autoassign from DHCP and keep track of it for DNS, so you could reference using its URL of device

Please note you have to click the LAN tab as you would not normally use DHCP on WAN for live CIDR ranges, unless you were using IPV6

ALso, please see this link for any bootp/dhcp advanced options, which you may or usually may not need to use

I hope that helps

Many thanks

John

Thanks John, I already have the DHCP server set up, and have added a couple of Static IP's but didn't realise you could leave the IP blank, that's useful to know - I can then add a meaningful name/description but without the need for a static IP

Edit. When I do that it doesn't show what IP address the device has in the DHCP leases list - the IP is blank, surely it should show the IP it's issued???

With my 'Smoothwall' install I download and burn a live cd, check it's 'checksum' and install, configure with a GUI, use it 30minutes later.  ;)

If I didn't bother with the SSD tweaks I could probably do it in 15 minutes or less, 30 minutes with the tweaks now I know what I'm doing  :P

What version are you using? - I am on  2.4.0.b.20161222.0709 . Thanks to some excellent work (not by me) the fixes are coming into snapshots  for sky ipv6 tweaks such as "Do not allow PD/Address release" - already on the latest snapshot & just waiting for the "use fixed DUID" option to go live.

I'm using 2.3.2-RELEASE-p1. No idea what those things mean though  ???

I'm still watching those video's someone linked to - they are so long.

If you change the update to experimental you can upgrade to 2.4 through the gui....

I think given my lack of experience I'll stay with a stable version  ;)

Sky fixes can work on stable just need to be applied manually.

I don't seem to be able to access Drop Box from my browser (FF/Chrome/IE), tried to open a shared folder, even just www.dropbox.com and get the attached error.

I can remote into the PC at work and it works fine, so I presuming it's something to do with Pfsense??? I disabled PFBlockerNG, but that made no difference, any ideas?
