Hi,
I can only suggest to check the firewall settings in windows 7:

As well as checking/changing the network profiles in windows 7:

Thanks for the suggestion.
Actually in the beginning I have tried both way ( and I am lucky it did not work , if it work , imagine I need to re configure a few hundred client that attached to my network).
I do believe the issue should be solve at either network side or server side , not client.

Did you check the windows system really was assigned an IP address by pfSense and didn't just acquire an autoconfig IP address? (You might have needed to release and renew the DHCP lease on the Windows system.)
What is the ouput of the Windows shell command ipconfig /all and what is the output of the pfSense shell command ifconfig -a
