        please show ipconfig /all from your laptop (I suppose it is MS Windows) and ifconfig from your pfSense

            Don't you have statically configured default gateway on your laptop?
            0.0.0.0 might be messing up everything for you.

                Congratulations. Don't forget to remove 'allow all' rule from WAN interface. You want it to be The Firewall after all. -)

                  Spoke too soon…
                  Now the issue seems to be that when i connect the pfsense box to my old router (need it to use as a switch for now and to emit wireless)nothing but the laptop can connect to the internet. I have disabled the DHCP server on the old router as well as the firewall and have the LAN interface of the pfsense box plugged into one of the LAN interfaces of the old router. When i run ipconfig /all on my desktop it reports the pfsense box as being the default gateway and assigning it an address but when i ping 74.125.53.104 (google.ca) i get the old routers ip address saying that the "destination net unreachable".

                    Try

                    ipconfig /release
                    ipconfig /renew
                    

                    on your desktop

                      Did that, it could ping stuff but not access any webpages… same goes for all the other computers on the network (i got excited wayyy too fast). Strange thing is i can still play TF2 without any issues, and a far stabler ping (used to flux from 50-70 normally but sometimes up to 900) and now it sits in the low 50's without issues...

                        It would be helpful to have more information about the access failure.

                        Can you access the pfSense web GUI? If not, what URL did you try and what was reported by the browser?

                        Can you access www.google.com? If not, what URL did you try and what was reported by the browser?

                          i can access the webGUI but not access google.com, opera reports that no apge is found and IE reports an incorrect URL. But if i ping it i get 4 successful responses back

                                well.. at this point the only thing I can think of is DNS.
                                What is the IP of DNS server your desktop gets? I suppose LAN interface of your pfSense?
                                If this is the case make sure your pfSense's DNS is correctly configured - go to System->Packages. If DNS is misconfigured you will not see a list of available packages.

                                  Alright, everything is working now… time to forward ports and get my new IP out to my clients. Thank you for all your great help and for being patient with a total noob.

                                    Just for the record, what did you change to make it work?
