I think I need to change the settings from Gateway to Router (under advanced routing) but I'm just guessing (the noob at large). They also suggested turning off DHCP in DD-WRT but I want the router to handle handing out DHCP addresses. One guide suggested putting both boxes on the same subnet but I think that's incorrect. I've checked the net for info but found it very spotty or not truly relevant to my specific situation. The goal is to have pfSense box as just pure firewall, put the router (Cisco/Linksys WRT160NL running DD-WRT v24-sp2) down line from that for routing, wireless AP, etc. I have the pfSense box setup and running as a firewall only with a single machine and it checks out good. In other words, I have a clue but I know just enough to be dangerous. My background is IT help desk so networking is not my forte but again, I can listen and follow advice. I'm technically a noob but I am competent enough to flash my router with DD-WRT, setup a FreeNAS box, and just last night, with a little help from the guys on the pfSense forum, I setup a pfSense stand alone firewall. I'm asking for technical advice with some networking issues directly related to DD-WRT.
