newbie stuck on setup
«

Hello,
I just received a protectli box with opnsense installed.
I set my own hostname and domain and DNS and took the defaults on the rest
I set the LAN IP ADDRESS to 192.168.2.1 to deconflict with another LAN and set a new root password.
The web GUI said it was going to reset but now nothing answers 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.2.1.
I am stuck.

Give your PC a static IP address in the 192.168.2.x network and try again. Then adjust the settings at Services > ISC DHCPv4.

Thanks.
I assigned the laptop 192.168.2.2
That worked.
What should I adjust the settings to?
DHCP is enabled and should have worked.

If you changed your LAN address to 192.168.2.1 you need to adjust the DHCP pool to match that network. That does not happen automatically.

Thanks.
I did not change anything and my screen at SERVICES > ISC DHCPv4 > LAN reads:
SUBNET = 196.168.2.0
SUBNET MASK = 255.255.255.0
AVAILABLE RANGE = 196.168.2.1 - 192.168.2.254
RANGE FROM 192.168.2.10 TO 192.168.2.245
Everything else is blank.
Everything still looks correct.
I must be missing something.
Is the pool at another page?

Problem solved.
I just clicked SAVE on the page and put my laptop back to DHCP and it worked.
