Bit more information will be better ;)

Is there anyhow a possibility that your cablemodem and your pfsense (LAN SIDE) is using the same subnet? as an example 192.168.1.1?

Did you remember to switch the cable modem off before swapping in the pfSense host? Most cable modems will only communicate with the first device you connect to it.
