      Thank you Stephen.

      I will change the Fin-VLAN. Thanks. Other VLAN is correct?

        Well they don't look immediately wrong. Without knowing exactly what you need to do I can't say more than that.

          Thank You Very Much Steve.

          One more issue that i am facing is
          All the VLAN systems need to Disable & Enable the network to Send/Receive Mails or Accessing Shared Folder else share folder or mails will not work. (timeline of 2 to 5 min we need to disable & enable network) Where I need to change this?

            That does not seem like a pfSense setting.

            Where are you enabling/disabling that?

            Can they still reach websites etc without doing that?

              Without enable / Disable they cant use internet, mails, shared folder. In LAN there is no issue.

              We are enabling / disabling in Client System Network.

                that makes ZERO sense and has zero to do with pfsense.. Is your client getting a different IP, new info like dns, etc.. Pointing to pfsense when it wasn't before, etc.

                  Mmm, I could believe it was a rogue dhcp server setting a bad gateway.

                    I have not mentioned any Gateway in DHCP Server.

                    Please find the below pictures.

                    0_1538711553691_DNS & Gateway.png

                    Should I Specify Gateway? If Yes pfSense LAN IP is the Gateway right. Also Should I add pfSense LAN IP in Gateway (Routing - Gateway)?

                      I had given Gateway as mentioned below to each VLAN, but not mentioned in Routing - Gateways Please guide me if anything wrong.

                        Dude who told you to put in a gateway - there is ZERO reason to do that. What he stated was there might a ROGUE dhcp server handing out the WRONG info!!

                            Before you go restarting your machines interfaces when something doesn't work... How about you troubleshoot WHY!!!

                            Are these machines windows? If so then simple

                            ipconfig /all

                            from cmd prompt will give you all the info for networking.. Does it show the proper info, what does it show for your dhcp server?

                            Can machine ping the box your trying to talk to for smtp? Can it resolve its FQDN? Where is this smtp server in your network? Is it outside your network?

                              Thank you very much

                              When it is not working
                              1st I will check in pfSense machine will go to ping and select the VLAN and ping the LAN & Google.
                              2nd I will check in my machine is it working.
                              3rd I will tell then to disable & enable the network. Then it will work. Now users understood that everytime it is not working then they only disable & enable.

                              All these machines are UBUNTU. No Windows.

                              Regarding SMTP i have not tried pinging from client. But I tried pinging google.com & it is pinging.

                              SMTP is outside network. It's in BIGROCK.IN

                                So when one machine is failing check the Connection Information in Network Manager.

                                A rogue DHCP server is some other device that has DHCP enabled on your network that is handing out leases instead of pfSense. Like a soho router you might be using as an access point for example.

                                  Ok. Then we initially had an DHCP with Windows DC. but now I unauthorized it from DHCP (6 months back). may be that is the cause i think. If i can remove that machine from network my issue will be solved.

                                  I will do that tomorrow and I will inform you.

                                    If the boxes are ubuntu.. you can still view the same info just different way. Network Manager would be the gui way.

                                    Very simple test would be traceroute fqdn of smtp server

                                    Where does it fail? Does it even fail to resolve? Does it not get paste hop 1, you should do this test when working - does it take another path when not working, etc. etc.

                                          Where did I say anything about the OLD DC? If you want help if figuring out what is wrong your going to have to give us some actually info to work with!!!

                                          Your smtp server is outside - can you not reach it, can you not resolve it?

                                            SMTP Server is resolving no issue with that.

                                            traceroute mail.laxmielectronics.com - Result
