      Hello every one !

      I have a really annoying problem on my network installation ! (using VMWARE) :
      1 WAN : DHCP
      1 DMZ : 10.0.0.1/8
      1 LAN : 192.168.1.1/24

      DMZ :
      2 web servers using debian jessie with ISPConfig, one normal, one backup.
      1 failover server with Haproxy & keepalived, and another server to backup this one too.

      LAN :
      Not important but one client for tests and web interfaces.

      My problem is that pfsense is dropping EVERY connections every 5 minutes or so. The only thing I can do is reboot it. But I'm sure you can understand that it is not possible for me to keep on rebooting it every 5minutes.

      What I mean is that the DMZ network only pings to it's pfsense interface (10.0.0.1) but not further.
      Same for LAN, and the WAN is not working too, I cannot ping from pfsense server. nothing works.

      So I would like to know if anyone has a solution for me? It would save my life !

      Have a good day, and thanks for reading/helping !  :)

          Logs and some details..  So using vmware what, player, workstation, esxi (version) what?

          So do you have these dmz and lan and wan in different vswitches?  What nic are you using for pfsense e1000, vmx3 ?  Are you using native or tools driver?

          So your saying everything works fine and then you can only ping pfsense interface in lan from a box in lan?  Are these other VMs are physical boxes?  Sounds to me from ping being the only thing that works like your using tools driver for vmx3net interfaces..

          What flavor of pfsense are you using 2.2.2? 64 or 32? etc..
