      ah, NOW I see your problem: the PC is missing, that's why you can't ping to/from it!  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

        @killmasta93:

        You have a host with an interface configuration of 10.10.2.86/21. Its broadcast address is 10.10.7.255.

        you mean 10.10.2.255?

        No, I mean 10.10.7.255. That is the IP broadcast address for a host configured with 10.10.2.86/21. Don't believe me, how about my handy calculator?

        And it doesn't matter. 10.10.1.255 != 10.10.2.255 either.

        Quick question how come its possible with iptables they can ping each other by adding the rules.

        Don't know don't care. That design is broken. I don't hassle making broken configs "work". I fix them.

          thanks for the replies,
          alright so let me start from scratch

          So all the servers will be on the 10.10.1.0/24

          pfSense will have an Ip of 10.10.1.218 the gateway

          with LAN 10.10.1.218/24

          Then the windows server 2012r2 which has an ip of 10.10.1.200
          gives out the DHCP of 10.10.2.0/24

          So would i need to reconfigure my DHCP scope?

          So i setup a separate test environment

          internet–----pfSense-------switch-----computer static ip 10.10.2.86/24

          I see the arp but when i try to ping nothing :(
          Thank you

            10.10.1.0/24 and 10.10.2.0/24 need to be different network segments. THEY CANNOT SHARE THE SAME WIRE (aka broadcast domain) if you want the network to behave in a sane fashion.

                Two different segments - two different pfSense interfaces (physical or VLAN). with routing between 10.10.1.0/24 and 10.10.2.0/24.

                Like I said that network needs a complete redesign.

                        If you're going to renumber and redesign, take the opportunity to get off 10/8 and 192.168.0.0 and 192.168.1.0/24.

                        For VPN purposes, it's better to be on networks that do not conflict with a billion or so other networks worldwide.

                        A couple random choices:

                        172.28.95.0
                        192.168.213.0
