What are your LAN configuration details and DHCP server config? Screenshots would be helpful.

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 ?

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.

[mullcom]

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?

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.

NTP ?
Here is mine :

Status :

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 :

Thx. I upload my settings. I have try so many ways now but right now I have this.

Still problem. :(

[mullcom]

Seams I geting better result but it still saying unreachable.

[johnpoz]

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..

[mullcom]

@johnpoz

I try to sett time manually. But same problem and offset time is still big.

[Gertjan]

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

[johnpoz]

@mullcom said in Pfsense brake completely enable DHCP:

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.

[mullcom]

This is a bit crazy...

No one in the list.

[mullcom]

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?

[mullcom]

@johnpoz

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.

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.

[mullcom]

When I enable Graf. where do i find it?

[mullcom]

I am trying to finding NTP.conf in she'll. But it seams that it has moved away form defoult location ?

[johnpoz]

Lets freaking forget ntp for the time being..

You show a block on your lan for dhcp that 0.0.0.0:68 are you not running dhcp server on your lan on pfsense?

If you enable dhcp server on pfsense lan - then there would be hidden rules to allow that traffic - since your seeing blocked, then you don't have it enabled?

There should be ZERO rules on your wan!!! unless you want a specific port forward..

Your ntp seems to be working from you latest screen shot, see the 377 reach. But your offset is still HUGE.. Do you have a timezone issue.. What do you have timezone set in the gui too? Make sure its correct and then reboot pfsense.

simple date cmd will show you time, date and zone

Default to what ? A Linux based system ? A pure FreeBSD install ? Maybe.
This is pfSense, based on the FreeBSD kernel OS.

Check /var/etc/ntpd.conf ^^

This file is build by pfSense (GUI settings) just before pfSense start the time demaon.
