Unable to ping/access LAN network from any VLAN
-
Hey everyone. I recently had a pfsense 2.6.0 system completely take a dump and stopped allowing everything but internet traffic. I had to reinstall pfsense and currently on 2.7.0. I have 2 linux VMs setup on 2 different VLANs for testing. I am unable to get any VLAN to ping or access any system on the LAN network. Both VLANs can ping eachother and the internet. The LAN network can ping both VLANs and has internet. I have allow all rules set and still nothing. The only blocking rule I have set is to the pfsense port. Any advice on what I'm missing would be greatly appreciated.

Possibly the LAN device, which you're trying to access, blocks this by it's own firewall.
This is a default behavior of network enabled desktop machines. -
@viragomann Its always the simple things that I overlook. The only thing that changed with my network and devices was the pfSense setup. Naturally, I assumed it was something in there. I checked the firewall on the Windows PC I was trying to ping and turned off the firewall. That worked just fine. I tested by pinging a mobile device on the same LAN and it worked fine as well. Ugh, so sorry. Thanks for your help.
