      Fix this.  You have duplicate IP addresses.

        Yep. Doesn't get more conclusive than that.  ;)
        Change the FreeNAS IP.

            In FreeNAS hit Network, Interfaces, click your interface, click edit.  You need to set it to an unused IP address.

                pfSense is telling you in it's log. 'Something is using my IP'. It must be FreeNAS since the issue starts when it boots. It gives you the MAC though so you can check.

                    Glad to see that this issue is almost fixed.  This would have gone much faster if we had the correct information from the start with regard to the IP addresses of pfSense and FreeNAS, and if you had a little more knowledge of TCP/IP and networking in general.

                        hi everybody

                        first of all i like to say a very big thanks to all for your support. i have got the internet still  working with everybody help in here. i got still one small problem with my freenas server i lost my ipmi connection with it. my original problem was losing internet connection once the freenas server comes on. i changed my (IPv4 Default Gateway) and ( Nameserver 1) in freenas under global configuration which was same as my pfsense ip address. but since then i can't use my ipmi connection. any advice please

                        many thanks

                          what??  You would want your gateway and name server to be pfsense IP..  What other gateway do you have?  What other name server?  In a typical setup, all lan devices would use pfsense as their gateway off the lan, and as the nameserver - ie to lookup www.google.com

                          You need to change the IP of your freenas,  not to be the same as pfsense lan IP, ie the big warning pfsense was telling you

                          "kernel: arp: 02:62:91:00:11:0b is using my IP address 10.0.1.2 on em1"

                          So what did you change the freenas IP to be??  What IP did you or do you have setup on the IPMI?

                            All IP addresses need to be unique on your network segment.  This also applies to your IPMI.  You probably need to reboot, get into your IPMI config, and be sure it has been given unique and proper network settings.

                              Hmm, raises the possibility that the IPMI interface could have been causing trouble all along.  :-\

                                I'd put my money on the IPMI and FreeNAS now having the same IP.

                                  "freenas  kernel: arp: 54:be:f7:66:6c:9a attempts to modify permanent entry for 10.0.1.2 on igb0"

                                  Well that looks like there is a static arp setting for that IP.  That mac is registered to PEGATRON CORPORATION  54:BE:F7:00:00:00 - 54:BE:F7:FF:FF:FF, Type IEEE MA-L

                                  What hardware is your freenas running on?  Do you have any hardware from that company pegatron?

                                  As to your other error, where did you point your freenas for dns?  Those clearly resolve on the public internet without any issues

                                  ;; QUESTION SECTION:
                                  ;0.freebsd.pool.ntp.org.                IN      A

                                  ;; ANSWER SECTION:
                                  0.freebsd.pool.ntp.org. 150    IN      A      65.182.224.60
                                  0.freebsd.pool.ntp.org. 150    IN      A      209.118.204.201
                                  0.freebsd.pool.ntp.org. 150    IN      A      74.120.8.2
                                  0.freebsd.pool.ntp.org. 150    IN      A      50.116.55.65

                                  So you got something wrong with your dns if those are not resolving - or connectivity to your dns.

                                  Lets make this simple.. What is the IP and mask of pfsense, what is the ip and mask of freenas, what is the ip and mask of your IPMI?

                                  Where are you pointing to for dns, gateway?

                                    FreeBSD places permanent arp entries in the table for its interfaces.  Something else (the device with MAC address 54:be:f7:66:6c:9a) is on IP 10.0.1.2.

                                        " ( answer is 10.0.1.*** and 255.255.255.0)"

                                        Sorry but *** is not a IP address.. Is you don't know what it is??  From Derelict is saying, you still have a duplicate IP of 10.0.1.2

                                        As stated already – all of your IPs must be unique!!  10.0.1.1, 2, 3, 4, 5, etc.. you can not have devices using the same IP address or you going to have all kinds of problems.

                                        so how does BLANK help us, or how would that be working.. Clearly that would explain why you can not resolve ntp server, etc..

                                        All of your global stuff is BLANK!!

                                          What is the IP and mask of pfsense (answer is 10.0.1.2 and 255.255.255.0) this is my i think should be gateway

                                          what is the ip and mask of freenas ( answer is 10.0.1.125 and 255.255.255.0)

                                          what is the ip and mask of your IPMI (answer is 10.0.1.13)

                                          Where are you pointing to for dns, gateway ( i am pointing at 10.0.1.2 pfsense )

                                            Well all of that looks fine..  Other than your freenas has not gateway?  From your global options doesn't look like any gateway, so how would it talk to 8.8.8.8 to ask for 0.freebsd.pool.ntp.org, etc..

                                            And if freenas is still saying it detects duplicate you got something wrong still somewhere.  But why would it complain that that dupe on 10.0.1.2 if your sayings its IP address is 10.0.1.125?

                                            Do you have more than 1 IP address set on freenas?
