24.1 Legacy Series / Re: Unable to access resources on the LAN
« on: March 05, 2024, 08:47:44 pm »
I think I've managed to track down the problem.
When I set this up initially WAN was using DHCP. I then reconfigured WAN to STATIC and that seems to be where my issues began.
In the wizard, I did not explicitly enter an upstream gateway address, which was causing my WAN gateway to default to a defunct status. It's odd because I know that it was showing as working immediately after the DHCP to STATIC IP change, but it fell off sometime after.
I walked through the wizard again and specified the upstream gateway IP in the STATIC configs for the WAN and immediately after wireguard connections were able to see resources on the internal LAN again.
This also highlighted an issue with DNS and the internal LAN devices not being able to resolve webpages (I'm still in the setup phase so there were no users to complain about missing internet access). I realized I needed to manually input some public DNS servers in the Settings > General area and specify my WAN_GW for them.
Thank you everyone for your assistance!
