      I just built a new pfSense box using the following process (documented as I build it)
      I specified  the DHCP range from the console, when I setup the LAN interface.  At that time, I limited it to .100 to .200.  Plugging in my macbook, indeed I do get an IP of .100.  yet looking in the web configuration tool GUI, it indicates the range is .10 to .245.

      I am confused how this could be…

      I built it using this process.

      PFSense 2.1 Build config
      From Console
      WAN>RE0 LAN>RE1
      Set Interfaces
      WAN
      IPV4 DHCP - y
      IPV6 DHCP - n
      IPV6 address - n
      -reboot and test - OK
      Set interfaces
      LAN
      ip>192.168.110.1 /24
      no gateway
      DHCP server yes 192.168.110.100-192.168.110.200
      IPV6 - none
      Enable secure shell
      Disable boot menu
      exit to shell
      sysctl kern.geom.debugflags=16
      fdisk -B ad4
      y y
      sysctl kern.geom.debugflags=0
      -reboot and test - OK
      Move to web configuration tool
      logon admin pfsense
      hostname >rtr
      domain xx.yy.ca
      timeserver to ca.pool.ntp.org
      timezone to America/Edmonton
      WAN Page > next
      LAN page > next
      set admin password to XXXXXXXXXX
      refresh browser on (192.168.110.1)
      Add features to dashboard
      DYNDNS, Gateways, Interface stats, Firewall logs, OpenVPN, PFBlocker, services status, traffic graphs
      SAVE settings

      Complete remove of IPV6
      system>advanced>networking> uncheck allow IPV6 Save

      Check System logs
      status>system logs>settings>GUI LOG entries 50>250
      -reboot and check logs for errors

      Add BandwidthD package and enable
      SYSTEM>PACKAGES>Available>install bandwidthD
      services>bandwidthD> enable and save
      -reboot and check - OK  simulate activity wait 15 minutes, verify bandwidthD page has Data  - OK

        perhaps a screen shot would work better. Could be available rang, but that is generally the entire class-c subnet.

            Well I am not sure if it was a bug or not.  I am positive that I entered the range correctly at the start, and it is not what I see in the picture.  In any case I have since redone the range via the GUI and it shows correctly in the GUI now.
