The 10/24 network *should* be able to see/route anything back and forth to the 192.168.1/24 network without difficulty. Now, I can't remember if you said how this was cabled, but this is how I set up my wifi networks: - plug the wireless network interface in the FBSD router into one of the LAN switch ports on the wireless AP/router (if indeed it is a router). The IP address on the LAN side of the AP is irrelevant, so long as you don't conflict with another IP. - Give the wireless laptop a static IP inside the wireless IP subnet - Have nothing plugged into the WAN side of the wireless AP, as you don't want routing with that unit, you just want a layer-2 (bridged/switched) AP. - effectively, if you have wireless connectivity from the laptop to the AP, you should be able to ping the FW, and vice-versa If it doesn't work, cable up the laptop to the LAN side of the AP, ensuring it has a proper IP in the wifi range, and then ping. If all else fails, set up a round of say 100 pings from the laptop to the FBSD box, and on the FBSD box, do this: # tcpdump -n -i fxp0 where fxp0 is the interface the AP is plugged into. This will show you first, if the pings are getting from the wifi subnet to the FBSD box, and also if they are being returned. Inbound pings but no outbound pings could indicate a deeper routing issue or FW issue. No inbound pings could indicate a problem with IP allocation or subnet issues. tcpdump (1) is a great tool, and may even help further troubleshoot the issue. If you can ping from wifi to FBSD wifi interface, then push the scope of the test further, trying to ping the cabled side of the FBSD box. let us know what you find, as the more detail we have after certain tests, will enable us to provide further recommendations. Also, an ifconfig output could help too, so long everything is all connected.
