      I'm going to do my best to explain this. I have a single business internet connection, i have 8 static ip addresses. Here is the layout

      My static addresses are
      x.x.x.9
      x.x.x.48-50
      x.x.x.150-153

      My WAN subnet is 255.255.255.0
      My WAN gateway is x.x.x.1

      My cable modem goes to a switch that goes to three devices, sonicwall for users (Wan .50), transparent sonicwall for servers (Wan 150-153), and pfsense firewall for testing (Wan .49).

      The world and sonicwall for users can access all the addresses on the WAN subnet (.9 and .150-153). But when i'm behind the pfsense firewall i can ping the WAN gateway (.1) and the world (google) but i cant access any devices on the WAN subnet. I'm sure there is a setting somewhere that i'm missing. Any ideas where to look?

        Fist, check firewall and nat rules.
        Second, use tcpdump to check what is happening with packages on wan interface.

          Do you see the other devices under Diagnostics>ARP? Should show there with their correct WAN-side MAC address.

            I feel like an idiot. A server that was installed a year ago and never used but running has the same ip address. Good to know that neither system told me there was a conflict. Thanks for the help.
