      Are the Ubuntu clients actually getting IP addresses from the pfsense DHCP server? Or is your DHCP coming from somewhere else?

            @communitylinksd Not quite. Looks like you just pasted your answer to the other guy. Here is what I get:

            default via 10.10.4.1 dev ens33 prot dhcp src 10.10.2.5 metric 100

                You seem to be missing a default route. Are there any other clients on TOWER that are working? I'm trying to narrow this down to a Ubuntu issue or a gateway groups issue.

                      OK, so it's a Ubuntu issue exclusively. Where did 169.254.0.0/16 come from? That's an APIPA address. If that's what you've got for IP addresses, then that means none of the cliens could get an address from the DHCP server.

                          Just for a test, what happens if you configure one of these Ubuntu clients with a static IP address, netmask & gateway? Then try to ping 8.8.8.8.

                              And these are physical clients or virtual machines?

                                  Well, I'm stumped. We've gone through pretty much everything.

                                      here is a question: does ubuntu not like the netmask of 255.255.240.0?

                                        I can't see why. That's a common mask. Test it by manually setting the mask to a /24 or /16 or something.

                                            I spin up Ubuntu servers all the time, both static and dynamic, and they never have any problems talking. If it's working for you then great. I suspected it might be something totally weird, but you had it with three different boxes.
