      I have a pfSense router setup with a WAN and 3 LAN connections.  All traffic is flowing fine.  Once I enable DHCP on any of the LAN networks, all traffic stops flowing.  Once I disable DHCP and reboot the pfSense server, then traffic starts flowing again.  Has anyone ever seen this before or know what I might be doing wrong?

      Thanks!

        The only thing I can think of is to check the DHCP config matches the LAN.  Maybe the DHCP server is giving out addresses in the wrong address space for that LAN segment & routing is getting confused.
