Pfsense has connection, connected machines don't
-
Is your pfSense machine connected between the ISP and the other computers? Is it the only DHCP server on your LAN? Do you have different IP subnets for the LAN and WAN interfaces?
-
Yes, my modem is connected to the pfsense machine(the pfsense machine has full ability to get on the net, I can download packages and ping quite happily from it). There is no other DHCP server on the network and when testing my computer gets it's DHCP license from the pfsense install.
As for the ip subnets, the LAN connection has a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0(IP range is 192.168.0.X) and the WAN connection has a mask of 255.255.255.224.
-
When it gets the lease I assume the default gateway is the LAN IP of the pfSense host? What are your LAN interface rules (screenshot please)?

@Cry:

Correct.
Here are the rules(just what comes default with pfSense)
-
Can you provide the output of the following commands, run on a client, please:
netstat -nr
ipconfig/all (Windows)
ifconfig (Linux) -
Linux machine is my roommates(he's asleep) so here are the other two for now:
Of course, pfsense now seems to be failing at having an internet connection(can't fetch packages anymore) so I'm really not sure what to do with that…I'm really on the verge of just entirely giving up on this, it seems like pfsense is just way too fraught with difficulties to be a reliable and workable solution.

You've got 2 default gateways there - your LAN and Hamachi. Try disabling Hamachi and try again.

Of course, pfsense now seems to be failing at having an internet connection(can't fetch packages anymore) so I'm really not sure what to do with that…I'm really on the verge of just entirely giving up on this,
Please provide more details of the package fetch failure: what package? What was reported? etc There has been some discussion in the forums in the last few weeks about problems downloading packages.
Lots of people have found pfSense a very effective firewall. If you want to use it effectively you need to make some investment in learning to use it, especially when you connect equipment with "non standard" configurations.

I've attempted to learn it, I have done everything to the letter of the pfsense book….and yet it doesn't work. There is nothing non-standard about my self, I have a few machines connected and trying to hit the internet through pfsense, that seems like a fairly basic setup. My aim was to do the bare minimum with it before trying to add extra flash on top.
I've removed the Hamachi connection, my machine can still do DNS lookups but can't ping or load webpages.

You still have a persistent route left that you need to remove. As Administrator you need to run:
route delete 0.0.0.0 mask 0.0.0.0 5.0.0.1

The most likely thing is that you have something on the Windows clients that is interfering (a software firewall or some other package).
Can you try booting into a Linux live CD (such as Ubuntu) and see if you get the same result?
-
Just tested using my laptop(OS X) and the result was the same. Roommates laptop(Joli OS) has same result.

I presume you mean that on both machines a traceroute 8.8.8.8 displayed @No1451:

. . .I would check the traceroute (or ping 8.8.8.8 ) is really arriving on the pfSense LAN interface. (Perhaps you have another system on your LAN with IP address 192.168.0.1)
