      @stephenw10 I also did try to change IP address for LAN to 192.168.10.1. And Windows computer get correct IP from DHCP 192.168.10.100. But still can't ping LAN.
      I will try to run packet capture on Monday and see what will happen. Thank you so much.

        I also found a very strange thing that when I connect Win10 computer to WirelessNetwork port, it gets correct IP address and gateway
        af8b64b5-7cac-4795-a129-a34377eee2c1-image.png
        But it also can ping LAN 192.168.1.1
        86bf2a30-449f-4f13-ab04-782463ae1bb3-image.png
        Even I have this rule in WirelessNetwork
        481dfcf1-cc5a-4413-ad3d-657b67e898e0-image.png
        Also when I tried to get route from 192.168.30.52 to 192.168.1.1 in Win10 computer
        290bbb19-b302-46d7-bcef-00fd9f073cc0-image.png
        It seems like it access 192.168.1.1 directly not through it's gateway 192.168.30.1
        Can anyone help to explain these weird phenomenon? Maybe by fixing this will fix the LAN ports can't reach LAN gateway problem. Thanks.

          Not necessarily.

          192.168.1.1 is still only one hop away since that address exists on the same hop you reach at 192.168.30.1. It is free to respond to a traceroute using that address.

          DO NOT set a source address/port in a port forward or firewall rule unless you KNOW you need it!

            @Derelict Thank you very much for trace-route. But why can I ping 192.168.1.1 from WirelessNetwork. I think anything from WirelessNetwork net to LAN net should be blocked by default.

              Well, if you want to BLOCK traffic on from Wireless network to LAN net then BLOCK it. Don't block traffic with a pass rule.

              Add a rule above what you have that blocks traffic to destination LAN net above what you have and see if the behavior changes.

                @Derelict Great, thank you. I created a BLOCK rule and it's working.
                Now I am backing LAN ports can't reach LAN gateway problem. Looks like fixing problems with WirelessNetwork doesn't fix LAN net. 😞

                  @stephenw10 I connect one of the Win10 computer to LAN1 port and Switch setting is here:

                  aec0ce2b-b734-4276-af03-1f1a2eff37a4-image.png

                  It's getting correct IP address from LAN DHCP 192.168.1.115, but is't offline
                  2bcf2e02-11c1-40a7-888b-dbdf8aab579a-image.png

                  I started Packet capture on LAN interface for IPv4 only.
                  13107108-2369-4f78-a4be-7c3e519c7064-image.png
                  Looks like LAN can receive from Win10 computer but never reply.

                          See that tab you showing the ports - hit the vlan tab.. lets make sure nothing messed up there

                          switchports.jpg

                          That is the default settings, from one of my 3100s

                          You don't have any rules in in your floating tab do you? And for good measure lets see the routes.. under diag..

                              Have you tried reloading the firewall rules? Or I take it you have tried rebooting it? ;)
                              Try changing the IP to say 192.168.2.1/24 on the lan interface?

                              Everything looks right..

                              Are you seeing any errors on the interface, in the interface status?

                                Looks like you have pfBlocker installed. Let's see the floating firewall rules. You maybe need to edit them to see all the info.

                                That can block and not log traffic in LAN if it;s not configured correctly.

                                  He stated he has no rules on floating.

                                  You didn't setup any port forward rules did you?

                                  I would like to see the full output of the rules to be honest

                                    @johnpoz No, zero errors on LAN interface and I did tried different ports. And I did tried change LAN IP to 192.168.10.1/24, still not working.

                                          @mmajian said in Netgate SG-3100 LAN ports cannot go through LAN Gateway.:

                                          Yes, my VLANs setting are same as yours.

                                          Please post them.

                                          It's not rules (though it looks like you are still using a ! LAN net rule for some inexplicable reason.)

                                          DO NOT set a source address/port in a port forward or firewall rule unless you KNOW you need it!

                                            @Derelict Sure, here is my VLAN:
                                            58454d43-a9f6-4f9f-9de1-5648feef1227-image.png
                                            Here are ports:
                                            edcd6726-bc36-48a9-8489-e1364d35ea3e-image.png
                                            And I disabled all firewall rule here:
                                            ec21994f-994c-4954-9eb8-a658f3dd7ec8-image.png
                                            I uninstalled pfBlocker and disabled OpenVPN. Then reboot the firewall but still no luck.
                                            Next thing I am going to try is reset to factory default.
                                            But if that still not working I think it might be the hardware problem.
