Yet another Client cant reach the net thread.....

Hi Guys

I am stuffed.... read and read.... and no luck!

I had earlier PPPoE issues, which I believe are now sorted as I can get to the Untangle appstore and the web from the Untangle box, but I am damned if I can get any browser out to the web from a client.

Setup is:

ISP Modem -> PPPoE -> Untangle box -> Internal lan

This is setup as router, not bridged.

I have the local lan client default gateway set to the untangle inside IP.

I can reach the Untangle admin interface from inside lan.

I am using Google public DNS (at least for the tests).

I CAN tracert to 8.8.8.8 from a client, and it traverses the Untangle box and reaches Google as it should.

I CANNOT get any browser to reach the web at all from a local lan client (No proxy set in browser settings as I understand I dont need it).

I CAN ping 8.8.8.8 from a local lan client - as expected.

I CANNOT ping an external FQDN from a local client which has 8.8.8.8 set as its ONLY DNS.

In terms of Untangle, I dont have any apps or modules installed other than the setup wizard config (rack is empty).

As a test, earlier, I added a NAT rule, type protocol, "is", and in value, ticked each box (so all protocols, being desperate!) and the NAT type left as AUTO.

If I remove this NAT rule, I CANNOT ping 8.8.8.8 from a local lan client, so as expected (well, *I* expected!) that to get anything out, I would need a rule to pass it through to the net.

So - I'm stuck!

Other questions I have are around the firewall and Web Filters - how do these overlay the basic Untangle setup I hope to have working underneath?
Think thats probably a question for another day however!


Thanks in advance....
