I just realized I dont get any internet connection. It connects to pfsense and stops there. I tried dns servers and what not. nothing.

Im home atm and getting internet, so that means traffic from the vpn isnt passing through. i dont know where to even begin looking to fix this.

So I'm connected to my network at home from my phone.

It connects and works fine, i can type in the local address to access pfsense but thats it. I can't see any other computers on my network. What did I do wrong? lol

So I port forwarded 3389 from WAN to internal windows server that I want to remote into.

Local remote works fine. Outside does not. It tries to connect, makes it somewhat through and disconnects and I get a "Can not connect to windows based machine because of network issues". Not the exact message but you get the point.

Now, my outbound is set to MANUAL because thats the only way my 2 xbox's and 2 pc's with BF3 will work. If its automatic, both xbox's are STRICT or Moderate/Strict. Right now both are OPEN. BF3 wont work AT ALL, one or the other can connect, both CANT.

I have a buddy who swears his works perfectly fine. Although ive never seen him and his brother play xbox or pc at the same time like my situation, but he's on automatic and he says it works perfectly fine.

Also, I tried setting up Cisco IPSEC, copied his settings which worked on his iPhone and mine, but my settings wont work on neither.

Does it sound like I have a corrupt pfsense config? I've reinstalled pfsense so many times because of stupid issues, but I havent in over 6 months because I figured out the multiple lan thing where now I can have any amount of PC's or xboxs on the network, all open, all can lan and play fine.

What should I do?

Thanks,

So one computer works great. If I try 2, first one connects and second one gets stuck at connecting. Now my xboxs have been working flawlessly since 2.0 beta on upnp. Turn 1 on connects then turn on 2 and it connects. Both open nat.

Now with the pcs that's not the case. Since there is no way to change the client port the game asks for (fixed my problem on bc2) I can't change the ports myself. But the game is built to ask for another port but my upnp won't.

Sometimes the 2nd computer can connect to different servers but will not connect to the same server as the first one.

Any ideas guys?

Not true because when we have multiple xboxs on the network, upnp automatically gives the first one 3074(default xbox live port) and then the rest xbox's get random ports.

Its Pfsense not being able to handle this.

DD-WRT does it perfectlly fine so idk

with upnp enabled the xbox will request a port forward and succeed. It works fine for my xbox 360 at home. I don't get NAT type strict.

The missing multicast traffic rule prevented the xbox 360 from succeeding to add a port forward mapping.

So has this missing multicast traffic rule been put into play?

I completely erased everything to do with port forwarding, rules etc. First 360 went open, next one had no connection.

Thank YOU VERY MUCH. Ive been trying to figure what was the issue.

Any idea when it will go into  effect? I just got a second xbox that will be permanent on my network and its not working. One will fail the other one will Open.

Both of them use to be Open / Moderate. But now its Open / Incorrect MTU.

Both are port forward to 80/88/3074/53.

Works for only 1 xbox, not multiple.

I just viewed it.

I did try those settings, but they only work for 1 xbox.

Im talking about multiple xbox's. Ive tried adding port forwards for the 2nd and on xbox and nothing works.

The one who's ip is entered manually into the UPNP works perfect all the time, but in this case, mine works great but my brothers doesnt get open.

So how do we conquer multiple xbox's?

Everytime I click NAT, i get 503'd.

Other then that everything else works.

Totally forgot about this thread lol. Sorry.

My config is all default all the way through. I turned off UPNP and set outbound nat and static ports.

This means PC's are UPNP'd and the xboxs arent.

Both xbox's are upnp'd but ps3 is NAT Type 3.

Someone please helppppppp

EDIT: Also forgot to add, that just turns the nat type into moderate, I need to still port forward, problem is when i have 2+ xbox's its gonna be hard to port forward and I have frequent LANs at my house.

Per reading the sticky topic and trying everything I believe my situation is different.

My old setup which worked was, surfboard 5120 > pfssnse box > dell unmanaged 24port switch > devices.

Now the devices are 2 computers, 2 Xboxs, a ps3.

At the old house / old set up upnp worked great. We could Xbox together or at the same time, same with pc's.

Now it's, sb 6120(DOCSIS 3) > pfsense > hp managed switch > Dell unmanaged > devices.

Now the manage switch has no port settings besides monitoring and vlan, and when I take the switch out of the loop upnp still doesn't work...

Also with the new setup came a new house (I moved) and now I have lan's. Funny thing is 1.2.3 which I've been running with old setup for a year now won't work anymore but 2.0 beta 5 works great, sometimes now. If I disable/enable and have everyone connect / do a Xbox live test all xboxes will upnp and find there own ports and all the pc's will properly join games together without lag and ask upnp for ports.

Now what pisses me off is, after awhile when the xbox's queue for a lobby(black ops / halo) the pc's wi randomly lag till the Xbox makes a connection(joins a game). Other then this everything runs smooth for the time being.

Now after the LAN is over, we are at a new day I'll go to game, PC's are working perfect and Xboxs are not strict.

Following the sticky topic if I deny upnp for anything but the Xboxs and set up a rule, PC's can't join the same server from inside the LAN. Now if I also change NAT type to manual and do the static port mess and what not, Xboxs work perfect all the time no NAT type change but again pc's now won't connect. As far as pc games are going we play cod4/bc2 and v/CSS/l4d2.

The bc2 issue was clientport even when pc's worked but I had everyone clientport themselves and glad worked flawless. We had 6 people inside the LAN join a server and game for hours without issues.

Anyway hoping you guys can help. I'm on my phone(so bare with me please) and VERY frustrated with all this so I thought I might as well just ask you guys since you guys can helps more then anyone right now.
