<![CDATA[No Internet but public IP being assigned]]>Hi,

I've had pfSense working for a couple weeks now. Yesterday I was adding a NIC to my home server and somehow that messed up my internet connection. I corrected my LAN issue but I still having issues. My WAN connection is showing the public IP but I can't get any response to a public Ping test (Internal works fine) or DNS Lookup. I'm not really sure where to even start looking here. If this is a DNS issue or routing issue, etc. All the network equipment has been rebooted several times.

If I plug my computer directly into the cable modem, my computer gets internet so I know it still works to my house. I also restored to a couple days ago when my last settings were changed and everything was working fine until the changes yesterday.

I ended up reflashing pfsense and setting up front scratch. I had screen shots of most my setup but even by 2 week old backup was corrupted.

My lesson learned is to take backups of individual portions of the setup in case something gets corrupted.

It appears like none of my firewall rules are working. Could that be it? I have a couple isolated networks with some rules set up to allow specific devices between the networks and none of that seems to be working. What settings would I check? In the advanced menu under firewall the disabled firewall is unchecked.
