      Hi, I cannot figure out why my NAT is not working (but I swear it was before). Here is my setup:

      pfsense box:
      LAN: 10.3.19.1
      WAN: 192.168.2.50 <dhcp>, default g/w 192.168.2.1

      internet router:
      LAN: 192.168.2.1
      WAN: <dhcp> from ISP

      From the pfsense box, if I run diagnostics->ping using the following settings:

      hostname: 192.168.2.1
      IP protocol: IPv4
      source address: LAN
      maximum number of pings: 3

      I get no reply whatsoever

      HOWEVER, if I set source address to WAN, no propblem, I get replies.

      Aaaack!! can anyone help me figure out why NAT is working?

      thanks,
      SW

        Oh crap, I found out what it was:

        Do NOT disable the firewall under System>Advanced>Firewall
