      It's not so much to tell.
      I don't find any upload for IMG.

      My Lan is static on 192.168.10.1

      When i try to enable DHCP i select between 100 - 150 in same network.

      After i enable it then i can't reach web UI or ping up from my computer but when i go to CLI Interface to check if system has Frozen i can see it has not and system is up and i can ping 192.168.10.1 but no other ip in network.

          When you reply, on the far right of the Edit bar is an icon titled Upload Image, right between Emoji and Upload File. Use that to post screenshots here.

            Probably one to much : image number 4 : Static ARP.

            Only the machines listed below will be able to communicate with the firewall on this interface.
            

            Do you understand what this implies ? Did you really add all the MAC's ?

            No "help me" PM's please. Use the forum, the community will thank you.
            Edit : and where are the logs ??

              I should read about this. But this should not make the web UI and nic-port brake totally?

              I have done some backup new so I can go back to a working state if it's brake again. So I can test if this setting cursing this behavior.

                Update.

                I have look around in Pfsense and find out that ntp servis is not working as it should! I have try to fix that but I get same issue and clock is not updating. This can be a direct issue with DHCP I think. So I need to solve this first.

                Why so many failing points in this system at a clean installation?Screenshot_20190812-191722_Chrome Canary.jpg

                  Impossible to answer since we have no idea what you have done or how you have configured anything. I did ask for screenshots of your network details but you never got around to providing them.

                    Here is mine :

                    Status :

                    b140b962-fc32-4c84-a91d-3769de182971-image.png

                    time is set close to a 0.00 001 second.

                    Your status list : it found a list with IP address, but none is reachable;

                    You have severe upstream connection problem.

                    pfSense is as any other router : Out f the box, set up WAN (if it is DHCPclient, nothing to do, because this is default) : it connects and it's ready to go.
                    Any bad experiencing from this point : tell us your setup, and we tell you what's wrong.

                    Btw : use a 'normal' device to set it up. Phone-only seems not a good idea to me.

                    edit : ntp using IPv6 .... oh, well, why not :

                          If you can talk to them then your reach should be 377..

                          And your offsets are so large not going to adjust anyway.. Set the time on the pfsense box to be somewhere close to start with.

                          Your connectivity is just broken from those jitter values..

                              Is is possible to remove all your firewall and NAT rules - and put in place the default pass all rule on LAN ?

                                Well your not really talking to them... So the reach will go up as you get back answers.. it tells you how many out of the last 8 queries you got answers for... Normal is 377.. 7 means HORRIBLE!!! You could do the math to match up which ones got an answer..

                                7 would mean only the last 3 have gotten an answer
                                00000111

                                377
                                11111111
                                would mean you got answers for the last 8 queries.

                                What are your reaches now? When they are 377 and stay there you have a stable connection to the ntp servers.

                                    Finally. I delit pool and only use time.windows.com like all windows OS do.

                                    I get that to pop-up.

                                      well if you can not resolve - then no nobody would be in the list..

                                      Not sure why you are worried about ntp.. Does the wan get an IP from your isp - is it public or rfc1918.. What does the quality graph show? Can pfsense ping say 8.8.8.8 from the diag, ping tool?

                                        I am glad you all help me with this.

                                        Pfsense deliver NTP as a funktion so. I think that should work when it come with the box. Time is important. If not correct time with your hardware to getting trubbel in the end with other. Like when you deliver active directory for one example. It seams DHCP is also in need of time. But the thing is that I want it to work and function correctly before I move on. Not like to have failing funktionalitet in the network. Btw I feel some responses loss in web GUI when time is not Correct. Sometime it frozen for a minute.

                                        With that sad.

                                        I call my ISP to get a IP adress that's are derectly to the internet. If I didn't do that I don't get a fake ip that's not directly to internet and gets some limitations.

                                        I did some more testing in ssh when I update time manually.

                                        Can't reach time deamon it say

                                        Have no idea why it say like this.

                                        I have sett correct location and that is Sweden Stockholm in web GUI. And when I ping 8.8.8.8

                                        [2.4.4-RELEASE][admin@pfSense.localdomain]/root: ping 8.8.8.8

                                        And i get back all NTP servers in the list now. And that are 377 now. Start Frome 7 and get higher more I waited. But still saying unreachable 😭

                                        I did remove all NAT rules and open up WAN for everything to see if it working better.

                                        LAN is already open as defoult.
