        If you have another router in front of the pfsense i assume you have a private network between the pfsense and your other router.
        Did you disable the "Block private networks" on the WAN-config?
        (looking through the config-option helps to solve these problems.)

                    You need to have different subnets on WAN and LAN.
                    How else should a router…. well... route ^^"

                        You are currently trying to put a firewall/router behind another firewall/router. IMO, this is going to be nothing but trouble to configure. If you really want to use pfSense, I would suggest removing the Linksys, getting a dumb ADSL modem, and connecting the WAN of pfSense directly to this modem. The WAN on pfSense would need to be programmed with the settings that are currently on the WAN side of your Linksys.
                        Seeing as how you are new to networking, dropping a firewall on a private network behind another firewall will lead to nothing but less functionality and more frustration. In my opinion…
