          @dragonfixed00 pfsense has nothing to do with devices on the same network, ie your lan from talking to each other.

          As to dhcp, are you devices using a 169.254.x.x address - this is common for devices to give themselves a random IP in this range when they can not talk to a dhcp server.

              Are you trying to access them by the public IP? Otherwise the traffic won't pass pfSense as said.

                  @dragonfixed00 well then what do you think is wrong with dhcp?

                  also need help on pfsense dhcp server and not giving out ip address correctly

                  And again 10.2.2.X talking to 10.2.2.Y has nothing to do with pfsense.

                      @dragonfixed00 huh? Doesn't matter what ports client A or client B want to use when talking to each other when they are on the same network - pfsense is not involved in that conversation at all.

                      And not sure what that has to do with your statement that dhcp is not giving out IPs correctly?

                          @dragonfixed00 lease expires too soon? Pretty sure it defaults to 2 hours, but you can adjust that - I have mine set to like 4 days.

                          So dhcp would normally hand out its own IP on the interface for dns and the gateway..

                          Can your client ping pfsense IP, can it do dns - use your fav tool, dig, nslookup, host on the client and validate it can resolve say www.google.com

                          What rules do you have on the interface? Do you have any rules in floating?

                          If this is a new interface and not lan - there would be no rules, and you would have to create them. Unlike lan which defaults to a any any rule.
