Esxi running astaro as a host, two NICs ( physical and virtual ) one external grabbing comcast ip as it should, the other internal to push data to network. Internal nic plugged into switch which feeds two hosts with ethernet and a line coming out of the switch which feeds a wifi router. Local DNS and DHCP server resident on DC, also a ESXi host. Astaro configured with one masquerading rule to forward internal network to external.
Heres the fun part..... LOL!!!
Suddenly everything is working again. But I cant seem to get ICMP through the firewall. Do I need to specifically set a rule to allow my hosts to ping google.com? I was able to ping before....
To mysteriously go down then back up is weird. The only troubleshooting i did was to blow out the masq. rule and put it back.
For my home use, the first rule in my firewall is to allow all internal traffic out. I am able to ping just fine. Perhaps try creating that rule and see what happens after you do that?
