Everything works but FreePBX has no internet! 2 Nic

FreePBX Installation / Upgrade
1

Hello,
my FreePBX works with 1 ethernet card and everything works great. My ISP and i had to make change and put my voip router in bridge mode. So i had to place a second nic in my FreePBX box. Now i have eth1 (the old one) and eth2(the new one).

  • My eth1 is configured to see my local lan, where the SIP Phones are. My network is 192.168.1.0/24
  • My eth2 is configured to see the ISP’s Voip router in order to bypass the telephony service. The network between my FreePBX and ISP router is 192.168.100.0/24.

I have configured my gateway to be through my eth1. And everything is working great!! My telephony system works and i tried ping google.com or 8.8.8.8 and it works, too. But…
my FreePBX amportal cannot connect to the internet (!!). I realized that when i go to Admin -> System Admin and it said that my FreePBX needs activation (i have already done it when i installed it for the first time).
After that i went to Admin -> Module Admin and press the button Check Online, a popup is showing “Checking Online, Please Wait…” and after a while(3-4m) i get the following warning “Warning: Cannot connect to online repository(s) (http://mirror1.freepbx.org,http://mirror2.freepbx.org). Online modules are not available.”

Any ideas ?

You haven’t changed your network settings to identify the 192.168.100.x network as the default route out to the Internet.

Only eth1 in 192.168.1.0/24 network is connected to the internet. The gateway is 192.168.1.1 and it is configured properly. I have tested in terminal and i can ping 8.8.8.8 successfully but i found out that i couldn’t ping google.com, so my problem is DNS!!

SOLVED!
I manually enter into /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1 and ifcfg-eth2 the DNS1=8.8.8.8 and DNS2=8.8.4.4 and finally everything is working :smile:
