      That didn't work…

      opt1 subnet -> Anywhere

      I can connect, get an IP, but I still can't get out to the internet...

        What version of pfSense? 1.2.3-RC3 or a later snapshot?

        If not, go to System > Advanced, check the box to disable hardware checksums, and try again. That is needed with some combinations of NICs

                Sure you're getting an IP without this:

                Also, might be an issue with this infamous bug, but havent seen this issue with newer snapshots but might be worth a try for you:

                  This should be fixed in RC3 and later snapshots, that was the checksum issue I mentioned above.

                    well my windows machine says it gets an IP, but can't get out to the internet, and if I try to ping the default gateway, it fails, transmit failed, it says. My linux machine does not get an IP.

                    I tried setting up that rule on my opt2/wifi source 0.0.0.0 port 68 to 255.255.255.255 port 67, applied, waited for the refresh, and I'm still stuck unable to get out online via opt2/wifi.

                    Linux machine still does not grab an IP address.

                    Should I try pfsense 1.2.2?

                      Post up a screenshot of your firewall rules on your OPT interface.

                      You did use UDP for the DHCP rule, correct?

                      Anything suspicious in your firewall logs?

                        I would think you could just use one rule and specify any for the source IP, no?

                          0.0.0.0 is not a valid IP on the OPT interface so no.
