      Currently running 2.4.0-BETA (amd64) built on Mon May 29 17:12:34 CDT 2017

      This issue has persisted since updating to 2.4.0 BETA.

      I can have machines DHCP an address without issue, but unless I give them a static assignment, they are unable to access the internet. The clients will get all information, DHCP address, gateway, mask, DNS, etc….but can't ping anything, can't route anywhere.

      I can give that MAC address a static IP and everything works.

            Yeah sounds like their getting either a bad DNS or DG address. Have you tried to ping an IP address on the internet instead of a FQDN to rule out DNS?

              Or someone enabled the 'Enable Static ARP entries' box?

                It was the static entries box.  I read that as if the DHCP server was disabled, those would be the only working entries.

                I disabled that box and it works as it should now.  Good call.  Thanks for the help.
