        well, the client web server's NIC is 192.168.101.3. and web server NIC MAC address is 00:25:86:9b:72:d3. this TP-link new NIC. about it is buy in 2010 year.

        The PFsense server NIC MAC address is 00:25:86:9b:72:d3 also. this old  computer's motherboard comes with the  NIC card. about it is buy in 2005 year.

        I don't know why it is has the same MAC address.  I have not do change the  TP-link new NIC MAC address.  the old computer's is my family .

          See if you can change the server MAC.    Otherwise you will always have problems..

                  Your "Interface Assignment" page should look similar to this.

                        Almost unbelievable…    Can you change NIC's in one or the other?

                                why it is?

                                            my PF server has three NIC ( tow new NIC), one of for LAN, one for PPoe,and other NIC because the same MAC can't use.

                                            then I need buy an  new NIC again?
