      Hi tech guys!

      I've got a problem  ??? ??? :o

      The Windows 2008 Server leases an internal Ip adres to the pfsense firewall.. on his WAN adapter! :(

      The situation:
      Modem with ip 89.xx.xxx.xx <- -> pfSense Firewall | LAN: 10.0.0.6 | WAN 10.0.0.111 :( <- -> Windows 2008 Server <- -> Clients

      The windows server doesnt have a well working internet connection right now :(

      Could someone help me?

      ps; sorry for my english

        Well the WAN side should be hooked up with the modem and not the 2k8 server. Or worse, the modem should not be hooked up in the LAN switch but directly hooked up to the WAN interface. Perhaps a diagram will help us picture your setup.

          In a normal setup, how would the 2k8 server dhcp be able give wan interface of your router address via dchp.  They clearly should not on the same wire (switch)

          I agree an actual drawing would be nice.  From your post
          modem –- wan (pfsense) lan -- 2k8 -- clients?

          Do you have multiple interfaces on 2k8?  Do you man that lan of pfsense connected to switch, and then both clients and 2k8 all connected to same switch?

          Seems like you must have your pfsense interfaces not connected correctly if 2k8 dhcp is handing it an IP.
