Setup sonic wall was setup as dhcp not allowing Internet access
Hi guys, we have a T-170 sonic wall and a regular managed dell switch. Our server died so I need to set up the sonicaccession act as the new dhcp server. I configured it as a dhcp server setup up range and client machines are now getting the new ip addresses but no Internet access.
From a pc that is on the LAN I can ping the sonic wall but not a website. I even tried giving a static ip with the dsl provided dns server.
We were using nat which I now changed to nat with dhcp. What am I over looking???
Please help.

Do your client machines register the sonicwall as the gateway? Do they get hte DNS servers properly? Those would be the two areas I would look at first.

they do get the correct dns server.
Gajendra,
Would i be able to get a step by step on how to configure the two steps mentioned above?

NAT with DHCP Client is a typical network addressing mode for cable and DSL customers that do not have static IP address.
In case you have static IP address than configure NAT Enable and configure static IP address given by your ISP in WAN interface. Enter the DNS server IP address in DNS setting.
Go Enable DHCP |Configure
In DNS setting enter your firewall IP address.

I think I'm all set now. Just one thing. When I try to ping anything external it times out. I can get online but cannot ping anything. What do I need to change on the firewall to allow pings?
Thanks

For step 5, when you say ISP starting ip address are you referring to the block of ip address that i was given. Or just the public address that is assigned to my wan?
Yes, in case you have block of IP address, first IP and Last IP address.
For one IP address, enter the same IP address at both location.

I still cannot ping anything external.

2. Configure the firewall DNS forward as the IP address of your ISP (DSL provide IP)
