If you disable the option to deny unknown clients does it work then?

Have you logged in the DHCP server log to verify that pfSense is actually seeing DHCP requests from those systems?

@Cry Havok. My company request is Deny unknown client.
@wallabybob. How can do it?

In web GUI: Status -> System Logs, click on DHCP tab.

Do whatever it is you do to get the DHCP client to send a DHCP request, wait a minute or so then look in the DHCP log to see that the DHCP request has been received. The DHCP server logs the requests (including the source MAC address) and the responses it sends.
