      Using the latest pfsense, clean install, I have two laptops wired into the switch, they are on the same VLAN (all default) and same subnet. They are getting DHCP IP addresses and can get out to the internet.

      They cannot ping each other by hostname or IP. They are set to private network which should allow network discovery.

      What am I doing wrong?

        Maybe look at the firewall on the each laptop or the switch port they are connected to.

        It's not a pfSense issue.

          @nogbadthebad You're right, I'd delete this if I could. Windows doesn't normally do that but on this build it's acting up.

          Thank you
