      @Spectrum said in Hardware driver:

      i see default re0 (lan)

      Ok, that's bad. That's why it's broken.

      Set the IPv4 default gateway to WAN_DHCP.

      The delete the LAN gateway.

        @stephenw10 good morning. last night i turned off pfsense and unplugged the wan cable, today i turned on and plugged the cable in and it gives me connected. i went into the settings it said and it no longer gives me re0 (lan) as default. i don't know what is going on in my settings, but i am sure if i turn off or reboot now it will give me the problem again. how can i save these settings?

        IPv4 route
        127.0.0.X lo0
        192.168.1.X/24 re1 (wan)
        192.168.1.XXX lo0
        192.168.100.X/24 re0 (lan)
        192.168.100.X lo0

        Now only in ipv6 I see the wan in default, like this:
        IPv6 route
        default xxxxxxxx%re1 re1 (wan)

              Ok that's good. When it's set to automatic it may choose the LAN if the WAN goes down.

              But you should not have a LAN gateway at all. You should delete it from there anyway.

                      @Spectrum do you suggest to delete this option in the lan network (re0)?

                        I'm only suggesting you delete any gateways defined on LAN in System > Routing > Gateways.

                        However it should be working as it is?

                          @stephenw10 sistem / routing / gateway have only wan . lan no longer appears. the pc is connected pero many sites can't access. i'm thinking maybe i need to see if it accepts both http and https. am i doing the thinking wrong?

                                  Ok great try to ping google.com from pfSense.

                                  If that succeeds try to ping google.com from a client on the LAN.

                                          Just run some pings from a client on the LAN.

                                          The client cannot open web pages but pfSense clearly can reach external sites and can resolve DNS.
                                          So either the client is being blocked (the default firewall rules should pass it though) or it cannot resolve.
                                          Testing with ping should show that.
