Fresh install cant access a site

Thanks for all your help I am going to get with the other engineers to take a look at this one… I guess some advice to take away from this is to stay away from the SBG6580 formerly Motorola now owned by Arris apparently it has issues with pfsense.

OK - So, you have this modem…
And with pfsense, you are using static IP but on the same modem with different router you are using dynamic IP?
And dynamic IP assignment works?

Talking about 2 separate modems now…
The static modem is in straight static no double NAT or anything.
The modem I just tried is a different model and is dynamic bridge and gets a public dynamic IP
The static IP works going to mailbeez.com only when I connect to SOHO router or direct to PC with same static IP and modem ..
BUT when I use it with pfsense with the same static IP no mailbeez.com...
so static modem-->pfsense -->pc = no mailbeez.com
I have multiple modems I work for the ISP and have multiple test accounts
so I used a different model modem with no static IP with pfsense and I can navigate to mailbeez.com
Different model modem dynamic IP--> Pfsense--> PC = I CAN navigate to mailbeez.com
Literally makes 0 sense but...
I at this point I think it has to do with the model modem more than it being the static IP vs public dynamic difference.
What messed with me is that direct to the same static modem it worked no problem... Hence why I thought it was a pfsense issue and not ISP or model modem..
so assumption of the issue is some sort of incompatibility between this model modem and pfsense at this point.

Sounds like you have a bit of testing on your hands. Enjoy.
