      I assume your DNS servers can reach the Internet, as can the other hosts on the network?  Having an off-network default gateway is odd, but I'm assuming that's normal for PPPoE (which I've never used).

      If so, time to contact your ISP - if the packets aren't reaching the pfSense host then it means they are either blocking the traffic or there's a routing issue.

        my dns servers can reach the internet and all other host on my network. I  called my isp and they said that no ports where being blocked. but i noticed that i can reach my ispconfig server by useing the external ip http://67.40.148.249:8080 but when i us the domain name http://web1.dial4tech.com:8080 it wont work. when i do did on my dns servers it says  connection timed out; no servers could be reached

          Yes - if your DNS servers can't be reached then you can't use DNS names in your domain to reach any services on your domain…  That really shouldn't be a surprise - and frankly if it is I'm not sure you should be running your own DNS servers (yes, I know that's a little harsh - but it's also true).  Also note that I can't reach that URL you refer to - it's timing out for me - I'm assuming you remembered to do these tests from outside your own network.

          At this point everything you've posted suggests either that you've got another device upstream that does filtering (DSL modem?) or your ISP is port blocking and their staff don't know that.

            i understand how dns works i was just telling you that so you could understand better my situation. being able to reach my server with external ips means that they are working but my dns is being blocked some how. my isp says they aren't blocking anything. so i was thinking it may be my dns registrar.

              Doubt it's your registrar since I can't hit your DNS servers directly with any port testing tool, using their IP.

              Note that from the Internet I cannot reach the web server you specified.

                it seems like my internal ips are only working on my lan. when i try to access the ip http:67.40.148.249:8080 outside my lan it wont work but i can on my lan. maybe my virtual ips aren't working.

                  Can you post a screenshot of the VIP configuration?

                      Nothing obviously wrong their either (though I'm not an expert on CARP/VIPs).

                      Next thing - what IP address is shown if you visit any of the "What's my IP" type pages such as this?

                          The only last thing I can suggest is taking this to the CARP/VIP forum.  I'm out of ideas I'm afraid.
