      I'm new to pfsense, so any help would be greatly appreciated.

      3 nics, 1=wan, 1=lan, 1=opt

      lan = 192.168.1.0/24 connected to switch
      opt = 192.168.2.0/24 connected to switch

      lan and opt interfaces are set to static w/dhcp enabled
      lan interface = 192.168.1.1
      opt interface = 192.168.2.1

      rules are * for lan and opt interfaces

      Gateway settings set to none and internet works on both networks.  dhcp works great on both.

      The issue i am experiencing is that there is no communication between the networks.

      Am I missing something small or large here?  Any help would be greatly appreciated!

        Screenshots of of lan and opt interfaces would be great. But for mean time do you want that pfsense act's like a router between, so it don't nat between two local interfaces?
        if so, you'd have to change nat type to manual (Firewall: NAT: Outbound)

        1. go to NAT section
        2. select manual and click save
        3. add new NAT rule
        
        DO not NAT = Check this
        Interface= LAN
        Protocol = Any
        Source = Network, put OPT subnet here
        Source port = leave it empty
        Destination =Network, put LAN subnet here
        Destination port = leave it empty
        Leave others empty
        Description: opt-2-lan or something descripive
        
        

        And after that create another rule which is almost the same, change Interface OPT and source and destination switch places

        Finalizing touches, move this new rules at the top of the list and save/apply changes. now it should work. (I hope I didn't mess up with interfaces badly)
