      Oh, sorry, I was wrong. We need port 67|68.
      I'll correct it above.

        not sure how to tag a DHCP to a vlan in windows.
        Will look into it, but if pfSense cant do it, I expect that would bring more issues into the mix.

          I just got a nasty ph call from the boss, had to whip up a temp guest wifi from our backup ISP via a small USG I have in stock for satellite offices.
          told to keep my paws off till after hours for now.

          will pick this up another day :(

          Thanx for the assist thus far everyone!

            @justsumdad You could try setting up a PC on VLAN 30 with a static IP to verify it can ping the pfSense IP. That would at least verify communication.

            Only install packages for your version, or risk breaking it. Select your branch in System/Update/Update Settings.
            When upgrading, allow 10-15 minutes to reboot, or more depending on packages, and device or disk speed.

              Excuse me but if you can read above @JustSumDad He said he already did that.

                Pfsense if you can, I only suggested you since you have a dchp server that will handle all dhcp on your server.

                But if you want to do the dhcp of the vlan in pfsense then you can do it, it just seems to me that you are misconfiguring your DHCP

                  I concur with @SteveITS
                  Make a Vlan30 switchport , and connect a cabled PC to that port, to see if it gets a DHCP address.

                  The test done above seems to be made via WiFi , and could have other (yet unsolved pitfalls).

                    wtf.... @bingo600 read comment from
                    @JustSumDad clearly your vlan works. your dhcp is not configured.

                    I really belive it is passing VLAN tags, if I set a static IP on the wifi test client it does get access to the internet.

                      Would you please behave ...
                      Seems like ie. DHCP Snooping is not in your mindset.

                        I am running the pfSense virtualized.

                        And are you passing the tags to pfsense via 4095 set on your vswitch..You say your running vmware (esxi?)
