    Hi,

    I am trying to set up a WAN interface on the pfsense.
    I have recieved the following from my ISP: (x = redacted for privacy)

    IPv4 network address x.x.x.76   
    IPv4 subnet mask 255.255.255.252  
    IPv4 default gateway x.x.x77  
    The usable customer address x.x.x.78  
    IPv4 broadcast address x.x.x.79bolded text

    In my "Static IPv4 Configuration" configuration I have set x.x.x.76 / 30 in the IPv4 Address field and for

    IPv4 Upstream gateway I try to set .77 address but when saving I get this error:

    The following input errors were detected:
    This IPv4 address is the network address and cannot be used

    I am a little confused by all these ip address. What should I enter for ip4 and the gateway to make it work?

      .78 /30 is your IP, .77 gateway.
