      Hello I just switched internet service providers and when I set a static ip address that they have provided for me, I can't reach the internet.  They say they can't see the mac address of the pfsense.  However when I switch to dynamic or use my linksys with static, they can see just fine.  Anyone have any thoughts? I don't want to have to use the linksys!  Thanks

        Sometimes you have to power down the ISP provided modem before you change what's connected to it.
