    255 stuff? Or just the 192 stuff?

    pfsense LAN:
    IP address: 192.168.101.1
    subnet mask: 255.255.255.0

    your computer:
    IP address: 192.168.101.2
    subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
    gateway: 192.168.101.1
    dns: 192.168.101.1

    dead on arrival, nowhere to be found.

      @mcury right but on the setup page there's no where for me to type the subnet. Just says 24 below? Is that where I type the subnet, and change the 24?

            not in the instructions

            I quoted them above. ;)

            Pre-2.7.2/23.09: Only install packages for your version, or risk breaking it. Select your branch in System/Update/Update Settings.
            When upgrading, allow 10-15 minutes to restart, or more depending on packages and device speed.

              @SteveITS I don't have an area for computer to enter gateway address? And do I add dns servers?

                  your connection to pfsense will work without DNS and gateway, but you won't have internet access.
                  for now, let those aside then, once you restore your connection to pfsense, we will look at it.

                    @mcury I'm looking under net gate now. It says ipv4 configured using dhcp, ip address 192.168.1.100
                    Subnet. 255.255.255.0
                    Dns servers: 192.168.1.1

                      Dns servers: 192.168.1.1

                      ok, that is WAN interface.
                      which means that you will need to change LAN's interface IP address to 192.168.101/24.

                      So, just change LAN as already been discussed, change your computer's IP address as well, and try to open 192.168.1.101 after that in your browser.

                            When you buy a SG-4200, or any other appliance from Netgate, you get a TAC Lite plan, which includes zero to ping support.

                            https://www.netgate.com/support

                            I suggest you check that, they are very good and the support is amazing.👍
