    Ok I have been searching for a while now with no luck.  I junked the Actiontec router provided by Verizon for their Fios service.  I have been using my 2yr old Linksys WRT54GS v4  running DD-WRT.  I decided to build my own replacement for that so I purchased a WRAP board and isntalled pfsense 1.2 beta2 on it.  I have 1 static IP from verizon and I configured pfsense as follows: 
    WAN:
        IP 71.246.x.x /24,
        Gateway: same IP. 
    LAN:
        IP 192.168.1.1 /24

    DHCP is configured to hand out IPs in the range of 192.168.1.20-254.  I have the public DNS servers provided to me by Verizon on the System>General Setup page: 151.197.0.38-39.  I haven't touched anything else and I seem to only be able  to ping the routers LAN IP and WAN IP.  I can't access any websites on the internet and cant ping any outside IP's.  Am I missing some other step in the configuration proccess?  Any NAT settings or Firewall rules that are required that arn't default on installation?

    Any help is appreciated.

      Is on the LAN tab any rule that allows traffic?
      Per default pfSense blocks everything.
      But there should be a autocreated rule that allows traffc from the LAN subnet to WAN

      one thing i dont understand: you say you use as Gateway the same IP as your configured IP on WAN?
      The Gateway IP has to be something else than your own WAN-IP.
      You should have somewhere the information from your ISP what the address of your Gateway is.

      We do what we must, because we can.

        Thats the odd thing.  I was told to use my static IP as my gateway.  Oddly enough it's been working like that with the Linksys.  As per the rule allowing traffic from LAN to WAN, I will have to check that out.  If my memory serves me correctly, there wan't any rules created.  But don't take my word for it, it was very very late.

          I've only seen using the interface IP as the gateway work on a /32 netmask, effectively making it a broadcast interface.

            Well I took your advice and verified that I was told to use the wrong IP for my gateway.  I'm still trying to wrap my head around the fact that my Linksys running dd-wrt worked regardless of the improper settings.
