        If the problem is in interaction with other systems on the same IP network then you can't really do anything on the firewall to help because the traffic goes direct, bypassing the firewall.

        If the traffic goes through the firewall you can monitor it by running tcpdump from the pfsense shell or through the web GUI at Diagnostics -> Packet Capture and specify the IP address of the system "of interest".
