        You've pretty much answered it. The pfSense is your gateway out to the internet so it ought to be set as your default gateway. If you set your gateway to the Cisco - which you seem to be using as switch - your traffic won't know where to go. Just leave the gateway address at '192.168.1.52' and you're set.
