Was your old network setup with pfsense?
if it wasn't did you use old router switch side? -
What do your firewall rules/nat rules look like?
No nat rules and here are my firewall rules.
Proto Source Port Destination Port Gateway Queue Schedule Description * * * * * * none * * * LAN Address * * none * LAN net * * * * noneAdded the 1st rule while trying to fix this problem.
Wan Rules:
Proto Source Port Destination Port Gateway Queue Schedule Description * RFC 1918 networks * * * * * Block private networks * Reserved/not assigned by IANA * * * * * * Block bogon networksalso, in windows ping is giving me : Destination host unreachable
not: request timed out.
Here is the full output of what I get when i type ping 192.168.3.12 from PC1:

It is not clear how PCI and PC2 are connected to your pfSense. Your diagram suggests they are on distinct pfSense interfaces (e.g. LAN and OPT1) but, apart from WAN, you quote only one set of firewall rules suggesting they are both connected to a switch connected to the LAN interface.
If the first case you have an invalid configuration: you need distinct IP subnets on the interfaces unless they are bridged. In the second case, they should be able to communicate regardless of firewall rules.

Your diagram doesn't have a 192.168.1.12.
Is that just a typo?Steve

Yes it was a typo in the original diagram. Sorry about that .
PC1 is 192.168.3.11
PC2 is 192.168.3.12The ping command I am typing is from PC1 (192.168.3.11) and is :

I have set up 192.168.3.1 as a wireless ap. Thus multiple clients can get a dhcp address can connect to it.
Is this wrong?
when I check active dhcp leases, both PC1 and PC2 show as being active.

Are you using a wireless card in the pfSense box for LAN or an external access point?
Reply from 192.168.3.11: Destination host unreachableRather than 'request timed out' suggests that your client doesn't have a route to the other PC.
Is it receiving the correct subnet mask from the pfSense DHCP server?Steve

Yes it is a wireless card that is set up as a wireless ap.
both computers are getting the correct subnet mask.

Ah, well have you checked the 'Allow intra-BSS communication' box in the wifi interface settings?

Nope, ticking that option fixed it.
Thanks so much. There are so many options in pfsense as a new user it is hard to figure everything out. I apologize, if that was an obvious solution, didn't mean to waste people's time.
Thank-you to everybody in this thread who tried to help me out.
