      Hello
      I've setup a new installation of pfsense on Hp desktop, I assigned WAN and LAN interfaces, And I connected through web interface from LAN but after a few minutes the connection is lost and can't start the web interface and there's not internet connection, I tried some troubleshooting but didn't fix it.
      I restored to defaults and that didn't work either.
      So reinstalled PFSENSE and as the first time, A few minutes then disconnects.
      Any ideas?

        I got a new car yesterday, fueled it and was driving some miles.
        Now it's stopped.
        You tell me why?

              Power plug fell out, LAN cable fell out?

                Haha. My car was going down the road OK until I shifted to "R" for Race.

                I am sorry to hear that you are experiencing problems to connect to the internet using pfSense. What network cards are installed on the pfSense host and client computer?

                  I've two network cards in the computer, one is Intel Pci card and the other one is the build-in, this thing is weird, Do you think It may be a hardware compatibility issue? Has anyone experienced such thing?

                    Really dude – so now you have told us the car is red ;)

                    If you want to check the HCL for you - then we would need specifics on the hardware..
                    https://www.freebsd.org/relnotes/CURRENT/hardware/support.html

                    What is the model number of this "pfsense on Hp desktop" ??  What is the intel card you added to it?

                      Have you tried switching the network cards assigned to lan and wan? My guess is that you are using the on board nic for lan. If so try using the Intel nic for lan and the on board for wan.

                        hhajj:

                        You mention that after few minutes, connection to web configurator is lost. Did you get the 502 bad gateway error? If so you are not alone  :-[

                        Have a look here

                        Looks like the bug is one year old and that progess is 0%.
