      I have a lan address and a gateway address. I tried to ping both sides with no success, but I did try to use the web configurator which I did get to the login screen. I put in my credentials, received a message on the console of the successful login and got into the configurator. What I don't understand is why when I have an ethernet cable plugged into my laptop from pfsense box why it says that the lan port doesn't have internet access.

        Maybe you have a problem with dns? Windows determines if it has internet access via a dns query.

        Post the output of ipconfig all on your box your plugging into pfsense.. Did it get an IP from pfsense dhcp server.

        And again your LAN should NO gateway setup on it.
