      Routing table looks normal, except for the host route in bold… that looks strange... shouldn't be needed... but who knows... someone chime in and give us an idea if that's normal.

      Not at all normal, that's a publicly routable network to a privately routable network and should not be in there.

        I thought it looked strange too, but he said it was automatically added when he plugged in his modem… so idk...  I don't know why it would add a host route like that... doesn't look standard... I checked a couple other routing tables from routers that were connected to cable modems via dhcp and none of them had a route like that.  I'm betting there's something to it... but he says it was added automatically, so I gave him the benefit of the doubt.

          I'd actually be willing to bet that's his problem. If stuff is headed to his gateway with that static route there, it's going to try to push it to that IP which makes absolutely no sense.

          OP, please try the following command in your CLI: route del 192.168.1.1 173.81.164.1
          After that, try it again and let us know the results. That route should not be there.

            Since it's a fresh install and I didn't have much time put into it yet I did a reset to factory defaults.  It is now functioning fine.  I checked my current routing table and the aberrant route being discussed is not present.  I don't know how it was created but it very well may have been the problem.  Thank you all for your help.

                You likely don't have the same exact problem. What is the output of "netstat -rn" on the computer you're trying to ping from? What is the LAN address of your pfSense box?

                  yes it is
                  PFSense BOX has WAN 70.168.57.35 routed IP
                  and gateway 70.168.57.34

                  I also got IP block with 4 IP's and it's own gateway where should this go??

                  LAN: 10.5.1.1/24

                    anogmus, unless you're double natting, you have a config issue. (I guess that could be another BSD client, but looks like PFsense to me)

                    we're happy to help, but…Start a new thread, post a network map, post the IP schema for your network and include that routing table.

                      @anogmus:

                      yes it is

                      Oh, my mistake then.
                      In the case of this thread, the fix was a factory default. I'd recommend you try that. Good luck!

                          Your issue has absolutely no relation to the OP's issue.
