      The rules have the wrong direction (source and destination). Also I think your whole setup is a bit wrong. Just to clarify:

      internet–----your friends Accesspoint ) ) ) )    wifi      ( ( ( (wireless wan/pfsense/lan-----clients

      Is it this way? What is the OPT1 for?

      I suggest first setting rules at all interfaces like this: pass any protocol, any source, any destination. This way you have allowed all traffic.

        Well, I did that at first and it didn't work so I tried to add some rules.
        That is why am I confused. As you can see I mentioned in my first post
        that I allowed everything everywhere and OPT1/LAN interfaces, which are behind
        WAN can ping the outside, but the client behind OPT1 is somehow blocked.

        The OPT1 I use to directly connect my machine with pfsense through switched UTP
        and that is just for this time until I configure pfsense. The LAN is connected to my switch.

        This is my configuration:
        internet–----your friends Accesspoint ) ) ) )    wifi      ( ( ( (wireless wan/pfsense/lan-----clients
                                                                                                                            |
                                                                                                                            |
                                                                                                                          opt1-------my machine

        The OPT1 and LAN are in same IP range. Could this be a problem?

          Yes, OPT1 and LAN should have different ranges or you break routing. Otherwise bridge OPT1 to LAN and don't use an IP-Adress on OPT1.

            I am sorry for troubling you hoba but this just doesn't work for me.

            I have reset pfsense box to the factory settings, and I connected my machine (slackware)
            to the LAN.
            Then I set static IP  and MAC for WAN, also I disabled 'block private networks' and set
            the firewall rule for WAN to pass everything and to log its traffic.
            LAN is not blocking anything.

            I still can't get to remote network or to use internet.

            One thing that is very interesting that I used this same wlan card on my machine (slackware)
            and whenever I tried to connect to my friends AP I needed to refresh its settings because
            when it associates for first time I wasn't able to use the net so I tried to connect few times
            to google and the wlan card just dissassociate itself from AP. After that I just refresh it and everything
            goes fine. And I need to do that everytime I reboot.

            In pfsense, when I use PPPoE in Status/Wireless my ISP's AP is clearly noted but for Static IP
            there is nothing noted about my friends AP.
            ???

            This could be an hardware issue.
            What drivers pfsense is using for Prism based cards?

              What happens if you save the Interface settings of the wireless client again? it will reload the interface settings and reinitialize the card.

                Yes, but still there is no AP listed in Status/Wireless. :(

                  I'm not sure if this will show up there if you use a mode other than accesspoint.

                    Well at this very moment  I'm using my PPPoE account on ISP and there IS listed the IPS's AP.
                    There is a SSID, BSSID, channel, everything.

                        I assume that you didn't believe me when I said that my WISP is broadcasting it's MAC
                        addresses.
