      I have 20+ systems and they all can access the other subnet just fine. I picked up 3 new aspire S3 notebooks and the 2 work fine but the 3rd cannot access the resources on the other subnet. After reloading windows 7 and drivers with no change, I went out an picked up another Aspire S3. Now with the new Aspire i have the same problem. If i replace the PFsense 10.0.2.1 with a basic linksys router the Aspire notebook that dose not work starts working. So I know that the Cisco and the PFsense 10.0.1.1 boxes are working fine, it must be the pfsense 10.0.2.1 box thats the problem.

      Here is my network setup.

      Acer 10.0.2.100 –> PFsense router LAN 10.0.2.1 --> Cisco router 10.0.2.2 --> WAN MPLS network --> Cisco Router 10.0.1.2--> PFsense LAN 10.0.1.1 --> server 10.0.1.10

      I can ping the server and tracert to the server but i cannot access the server resources (file shares, website)

      PFsense 10.0.2.1: route setting 10.0.1.0 to 10.0.2.2

      PFsense 10.0.1.1: route setting 10.0.2.0 to 10.0.1.2

          Have you tried disabling the firewall in Windows entirely?

              f you can ping and tracert the destination and have no ports blocked in firewall rules and other clients from the same network/location/subnet work ….

              then i'm guessing the destination is blocking access, i highly doubt this has anything todo with pfsense

              check if your 'server' does not block that client, or if you have an ip-conflict (multiple devices with same ip)

                The server does not block acces i tested that.  If i take my pfsesne box 10.0.2.1 out and replace it with a linksys basic router then my notebook connects just fine to the server. I also reloaded my firewall box with pfsense 2.0 (to make sure 201 was not the problem) and only changed the LAN ip and added 1 route statement to the base config and my notebook still cannot connect. What strainge is that i have now 4 of the same notebooks with windows 7 base install. The first 2 notebooks work fine the third will not connect so i went down a purchased the 4th fron a different store and pluged it in and it has the same problem. Could it be that i need to chage one of the PFsense advanced settings. Also on the notebook that cannot connect if i set its gateway to the cisco router of 10.0.2.2 then it connects just fine over to the server 10.0.1.10. I have also changed IP address on the noteboot and checked them for IP-conflicts.

                This is crazy :o

                  closer inspection raises some questions for me …..

                  acer <--> pfsense1 lan | pfsense1 wan <--> cisco1 <--> MPLS network <--> Cisco2 <--> pfsense2 wan | pfsense2 lan <--> server 10.0.1.10
                  

                  is that an accurate interpretation of your situation ?
                  do the subnets overlap or are they the same ?

                  if yes then i can't imagine this ever working properly …
                  if you plug in a linksys router this would not be an issue because they probably have a different default subnet 192.168.1.0/24 and thus have no issues

                  perhaps you should consider changing the lan subnet's on both ends or change the subnet the cisco's are running on

                  good luck

                      Did you enabled "Bypass firewall rules for traffic on the same interface " on system advanced -> Firewall/Nat?

                        Bypass firewall rules for traffic on the same interface. That seems to have fixed it. thanks ;D
