      Greetings,

      I was able to successfully install and configure my first PFSense firewall, on an ION 2000.

      Took a couple of days to get everything setup. My last step, which is always my last step is to reboot the system. After rebooting I lost connectivity to my GUI. I do have a serial connection, I also just noticed that my LAN IP is not showing in the arp table. The rest of the network is in the ARP table correctly.

      Port 0 is my gateway. port 1 is my LAN. The WAN port from the Firewall is connected to the Uplink port on the switch (polling okay). And the LAN port is a regular connection on the switch (not polling).

      PFSense is definitely monitoring the Gateway 192.168.99.1, I can see the traffic, and blocking done in the logs.

      I am using PFSense for DNS. MY LAN connection on PFSense is doing DHCP. WAN is static.

      My network is fine. I definitely feel the protection. I am using a computer on this network, now. But something must be wrong if I cannot see my LAN in the firewall.

      My ISP router has FIOS in, additional connection to LAN. (no other connections). Firewall in the router is turned-off.

      DHCP, and DNS are both fine - I can see the traffic from DNS in the logs. The static servers are being used.

      I appreciate any suggestions.
