Clients on LAN bridge have internet but cannot see eachother
-
I just recently swapped over from a ubiquiti router to a pfsense box and after getting everything more or less setup I found that clients can not see each other. They cannot ping each other, hostnames do not work, windows network discovery is not working. I have confirmed that each windows box has network discovery on and is set to private network.
Right now the lan is a bridge of 6 ports across 3 NICs where the bridge is set as the LAN. The firewall rule for lan is the default accept all on all ports/protocols. Every client has internet access but none of them can communicate with each other.
I believe that all of the clients that I tested are configured with a static ip from the DHCP server. Is there any setting in static assignment that I may have missed?
Any help is appreciated. I can probably bodge in a switch in between the clients and the router as a last resort.

"By default, traffic is filtered on the member interfaces and not on the bridge interface itself. This behavior may be changed by toggling the values of net.link.bridge.pfil_member and net.link.bridge.pfil_bridge under System > Advanced on the System Tunables tab. With them set at 0 and 1, respectively, then filtering would be performed on the bridge only."

Thank you. That fixed my problem.
