      @GruensFroeschli:

      The rules look good.

      If you connect a client, can you ping it from the pfSense diagnostic-menu-ping?

      No i cant, i can ping the interface (192.168.2.1) but not the computer connected to the interface

      this is what i have from ipconfig… i dont know why i have a default gateway of 0.0.0.0 and 192.168.2.1

          I will now.

          I tried a desktop i have, it got an IP fine, got a default gateway fine… but it couldnt ping the gateway or pfSense.

          Do you have an idea of whats wrong?

            There is no reason to use AON in this configuration, NAT rules are automatically generated for all your internal networks, the auto generated rules are identical to what you have configured. That shouldn't cause any problems though, the NAT setup looks to be identical to what would be automatically configured.

            Rules appear to be setup fine too.

            What is assigning the IPs on this network? You sure this OPT interface is functional and plugged in correctly?

              pfSense does DHCP.

                To me the gateway (0.0.0.0) seems strange, I would suggest to check the DHCP settings on lan2 again.

                Further whenever I was working with mutiple LANs and tested it I with 1 computer I always en up with connectivity problems because of the ARP table. Make sure to flush it or to reset the pfsense box when ever you move your computer between the LANs.

                    Yeah if you're getting DHCP leases from it, it's obviously online…  no clue what you might be seeing.

                      Does it work if you disable DHCP on LAN2 and use a fixed IP address and gateway on your PC?

                            Try booting from a livecd and assign the nic's in console then follow my screen dumps.

                              Do you have a IPSEC VPN Tunnel terminating to the 2nd LAN??

                              For some reason, i can not ping anything on my 2nd lan from pfSense when a IPSEC Tunnel is running.. If i turn it off, i can ping all day long..
