      Hopefully I've put this in the correct spot.
      I am using pfsense to separate networks.
      I have users connecting to the wan interface and nating out to one of multiple other networks.
      Everything works great until I add the fifth network interface.
      No mater what I do I cannot get anything to route to any interface.
      When I remove the interface everything goes back to normal.
      Sometimes I have to reconfig the whole thing, I've gotten pretty good at it now.
      I look at the logs and nothing jumps out.

      I'm using the latest version, installed yesterday.

      –edit--
      Diagram attached.

        Getting down to the simplest level
        If I have 5 adapters on the system I can't ping any addresses on the LAN side

        WAN is ok, I can connect to it.
        Connected directly to the console.
        LAN I can ping the nics address, but no further
        Firewall is completely open

        The system is on VMware, 5 adapters added to the guest.
        In pf only 2 interfaces are enabled.

          It was a complete Noob moment

          Just to go over how I got there and what I did to make it right.

          I added 2 network adapters to the guest in esxi
          Configured and got working.
          Added a 3rd, configured and got working
          Added a 4th, configured and got working
          Added a 5th, configured and broke the system.

          What I didn't realize was that the adapters to the OS somehow changed. So adapter 1 was no longer vmx1
          The noob moment was that I would have caught the issue had I looked at the mac address.

          My end config has 1 wan and 7 lan adpaters.
          3 of the lan have virtual ip addresses attached.
          This is all interoffice so firewall rules are completely open.
          Setting up NAT outbound was fairly easy, need to think a little harder about the virtual ips.

          Going forward I need to eliminate adapters and use Vlans, but that's a story for another day
