Wireless help

I have built a new pfsense based router for my home. It is going to replace my failing WRT54G with DD-WRT. I bought an Atom D510 board from an ebay seller in hong kong and got everything up and running on the wired side with no problem. I added a linksys pci wireless G card that I know works and is on the HCL for pfsense. I am using release 1.2.3, loaded from CD to the systems hard drive. The system has 2G of ram.

I have OPT1 (the wireless NIC) bridged with LAN and set to DHCP. I have all the wireless settings added and they seem to work fine as I can connect fine. I have LAN bridged with OPT1 and I have the DHCP server enabled on the LAN interface. I have an all pass rule in each interface just so I can set everything up. I can connect to the wireless, it gives me an address from the DHCP pool with no problem. The problem is I can not access the internet from the wireless including the pfsense GUI. It will not pass ICMP or TCP traffic. I am assuming it is a rule problem but I am not sure of what I have done wrong. I intend to have NAT set up with a bunch of ports forwarded to the static IP of my wired server on the LAN and unrestricted access for all other machines on the LAN and wireless. I want all LAN and wireless machines to pull from the same DHCP pool. This is currently sitting on my test bench so it has a DHCP assigned address from my current router (from a different range). Any idea what I am doing wrong here?

Here is a shot of the wan rules if it matters.

Please give me details of can not access the internet from the wireless. For example, on your wireless client what do you see if you try to ping www.google.com? Do you get a different result if you attempt to ping 74.125.53.106 (IP address of www.google.com)?

Can not ping anything including the pfsense box. All attempts time out. All browser traffic times out.

You do not set a bridged interface for "dhcp" like that in the interface configuration. Leave the IP type set to static. That may be causing some issues.

I went into interfaces then opt1 and changed dhcp to static. After I saved it I could no longer connect to the wireless.
