        As I've watched this thread develop it seems to me that you (sk8harddiefast) don't yet have the necessary knowledge to be trying to configure your pfSense box and I haven't yet fully decided whether my time would be better spent searching for a suitable article to point you to OR writing up something myself. I'm currently leaning towards a hybrid approach.

        I suggest you read http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IP_address and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subnetwork ignoring anything relating to IP v6. It would probably also be worthwhile reading some of the linked papers and articles especially http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk365/technologies_tech_note09186a00800a67f5.shtml (IP Addressing and Subnetting for New Users).

        Then: configure your pfSense box so every interface is on a distinct subnetwork. Then configure your client systems to get their IP address and default gateway from the pfSense system (DHCP). Then configure DHCP server on each pfSense interface (except WAN) interface. Then restart client systems.

        If you get that much done correctly the client on your LAN interface should be able to access the internet (unless there are configuration problems in your modem). Then we can discuss what you want to do with clients on other interfaces.

          My knowledge about networking is really low.I know some things on theory and practical simple things just what is dhcp,How to config network on my bsd machine or connect 2 computers together.The reason i start pfsense is because i want to learn about firewalls,networks and because i really like pfsense and more general because i like computers very much and allways trying to learn more things setting projects on my self.Is not only to set up a firewall.Is to learn from this experience.But is really to hard for me to understand all this at this point.So to read some things before i start,i think is really good idea :)
          Thanks for the urls.I will start reading immediately :)
