      I have my 3 computers pointed to pfsense, and i can access the WEBGUI but  the internet isn't working. my modem is 192.168.0.1. Is there a specially way to setup pfsense? I know the IP Address changes everytime you connect. Can someone help me?  Thnxs

        pfSense uses per default the same IPrange as this modem on it's LAN.
        Change the IPrange of your LAN to something else (172.16.0.1/24?) and it should work.

        We do what we must, because we can.

            Can you please rephrase that?
            What do you want to access?
            From where do you want to access it?
            What is the problem right now?

                So in a diagram:

                internet
                                ¦
                                ¦
                                ¦
                            (WAN) - public IP
                          modem
                            (LAN) - 192.168.0.1
                                ¦
                                ¦
                                ¦
                            (WAN) - 192.168.0.2/24
                          pfSense
                            (LAN) - 172.16.0.1/24
                                ¦
                                ¦
                            clients

                You want to access the modem on 192.168.0.1.
                You should just be able to type this IP in the webbrowser and it should work.

                We do what we must, because we can.
