      I have a configuration set up with version 1.0.1.  The LAN and WAN work fine.  I added a third NIC to provide access to a server on a separate subnet.  I have a crossover cable connected between the OPT1 interface and the server. 
      OPT1 address - 192.168.3.113
      Server address - 192.168.3.114
      I cannot ping between the two.  I have rules set to Source/Any  Dest/Any and Gateway to default.
      Are these not the correct settings?

        Make sure the hostbehind the 3rd nic uses the correct gateway. Also have a look at status>systemlogs, firewall if you see any blocks for this traffic.

          I checked the systems log and see this message:
          kernel: arplookup 192.168.3.114 failed: host is not on local network
          I changed the subnet mask of the OPT1 card to 255.255.255.0.  It was set wrong.  I set the same subnet mask for the host.  I can know ping from the pfsense console to the host - 192.168.3.114 but I cannot ping from the host to the OPT1 card. 
          I can also access the host on OPT1 through the LAN.  I cannnot access the host from the WAN and have a NAT setting.  Sounds like a firewall rule needs to be set.

            Please provide your interface configurations and your firewallrules at LAN and OPT1.

                Drop all the gateway in your firewallrules. These are for policybasedrouting/loadbalancing. Leave everything at default (*).

                  I dropped all of the Gateways but still cannot connect to the WAN from my host on the OPT1 network.  I can connect from my LAN to the host on the OPT1 network.
