      Well your clearly arping for the IP.. Which comes back with mac correct, and you got your dhcpd address you reserved. So you seem to not being answering..

      The odd thing is you didn't show any pings going out even when you tried to ping.. Which makes no sense - unless you didn't do the sniff right..

      Again can the server ping pfsense IP? Sniff when your doing that test..

        Sorry! Ran the sniff and ping from NAS server to 192.168.70.1 resulted in 100% packet loss.

          Ok so your seeing traffic to pfsense interface on 192.168.70.1 - but no answers!

          That points to firewall on pfsense, but that shouldn't stop you from pinging from pfsense unless you have an outbound rule on your lan.. Do you have anything in floating?

          example

              Well what interfaces do you have all those rules on? Its quite possible your blocking something in all those rules...

              Disable them all for "testing"

              Your lan and server rules mean nothing for pinging from pfsense - the only thing that could cause what seeing would be a outbound rule on your server interface blocking pfsense from sending the ping even..

              What are you rules on your server interface?

                So counting from top to bottom, the first 11 rules (pfB_Top_v4 to pfb_TOR_v4) - all 11 have the same setting with block to WAN interface only (only WAN is highlighted in interface box).

                  Ok well your server interface rules would not allow ping.. So that explains why pfsense would not answer ping.

                  Set a rule to allow ping to pfsense server address.
                  And possible dns is not listening on on 70.1

                  Set your ping rule, and try to ping from server again to 70.1

                    Is this the correct way to set up this rule?

                      No!

                      On your server interface allow ping to the server address.

                      example
                      example.jpg

                      You want to allow your server to ping pfsense server IP 70.1 - lets get that working atleast!

                          OH my GAWD!! dude... how is the dest 70.2 that is not pfsense IP address!!

                          Please set a rule on your server interface to allow PING to pfsense address server address.. And ping from your server..

                              Well there is something major wrong... You sure pfsense IP is actually 192.168.70.1?

                              Can you use a different interface? You don't have any vlans setup or anything like that?

                              Why was there no answer to the dhcp you show there on port 67? You can arp, but not doing any sort of traffic... Makes no sense at all..

                                The vlans are all on the LAN side (192.168.69.1) with switch.
                                The SERVER side has nothing, just a straight direct connection to NAS.

                                  Well makes no sense at all... Do you have another interface you can use? Another cable.. Post a ifconfig output on pfsense. If it was a bad cable - you would think you wouldn't see the traffic too pfense, and you would see traffic out even if didn't get to the client when you sniff when you pinged.

                                    ifconfig

                                    I do have one more open interface and 1 extra cable. Let's call it a day for now and maybe try some other time and set up the rules and etc for new interface.

                                    Thank you both for your time today! @kiokoman

                                      dude... How do you have 192.168.70.1 on igb2, and you also have it on igb1.70??

                                      Pfsense shouldn't even let you do that - because the interfaces overlap!!

                                      Yeah that is not going to work ;)

                                        igb1.70 is a vlan right? That was deleted sometime ago and doesn't exist currently? Here's all of the vlans as of now:

                                          But the interface is still there via your ifconfig - so yeah that not going to work ;)

                                          I would check in your xml - forwhatever reason its still there.. So yeah big issue!

                                            Nice! How do I get rid of it cleanly? This doesn't actually show up on my GUI. I have routine XML backups so doing it through XML shouldn't be a problem.
