FVS336G working great untill I got an iPad3
I own 2 FVS336G (vers 3.0.7-24) firewalls and use them for a VPN between home and my wife's office. I use an Apple Airport Extreme for my WiFi (home) but have the Netgear handle the DHCP. For a couple years my network is rock'n. I use the FVS336G for a couple macs and the Airport serves 1 MacBookPro, 1 WindozeXP laptop, and 2 iPhones.
Last week I purchased an iPad3 and was able to log into the network but I could not get out to the internet. The firewall issued an IP address so I know I'm getting that far. I took the iPad to my work and had no problem with getting out to the internet. After a bunch of searching the web with no luck I put the Airport upstream of the FVS366G and the iPad is happy.
This seems not to be a widespread problem that I can find so I'm sure I must have my firewall settings wrong. Any Ideas?
Id really like to get my WiFi back behind the firewall where it belongs.

- setup google DNS on IPAD and see
- That triggered a light bulb. I had set the firewall to the DYNdns DNS servers a couple months ago. I'll put my network back together tonight and let you know if it worked. Thanks!
- dyndns is for dynamic DNS is not for DNS server.
opendns will be your alternative DNS server you could specify in WAN of the router.
I would simple use Google DNS on ipad with as is setting on FVS first - I was really hopeful since I had messed around with my DNS server settings. DYNdns has a service called "Internet Guide" which is much like Google DNS.
I first [1] tried the DYN DNS server addresses on the iPad but it didn't work. Next [2] I set the FVS to Default "Get Automatically from ISP" and left the iPad with the DYN DNS addresses. No Good
As you suggested, I did the same with the GoogleDNS... [1] with both the iPad and FVS pointed at the DNS servers, and [2] with the FVS in default and the still pointed at Google. Again, no Internet for the iPad... In both instances I made sure to "Apply" the new settings, and did a reboot and double check to make sure the settings were right.
Still seems that my problem is not a common problem. Are there other settings I might have messed up that would block an iPad but not all the other Apple & PC hardware I have?

unless you use ip/mac address binding and created some block services.
apple extreme is setup as access point correct?- June... You know your stuff...
A while back I had created a few ip/mac bindings. I had one for a (retired) SlingBox and the iPod was getting served that IP. I was under the impression that if you made a binding, the DHCP server would not dispense that IP to any other address. I once had rules set for the Slingbox and a binding under the "Know PC's and Devices" tab. both have long since been deleted. Guess I learned something new today...
Thank you for your help again.
