        If your machines have assigned static IPs on LAN, you need to change them to the correct subnet range.
        If the machines are on DHCP, then they need to have their IPs refreshed as they are still holding on to the old IPs in the 192.168.1.0/24 subnet.  You can either force a refresh by doing a release and renew on the client machines, or restarting the client machines, or unplug and reinsert the network cables for them.

          i have Fortigate Firewall and i want to change it to pfsense
          my network right now is 192.168.60.254(gateway)
          an all the clients are 60.x
          i do the installation , go throught console to assing ip on lan interface from 1.1 to 60.254 and thes i cannot access any more pfsense interface from the terminals 192.168.60.x
          when i change it back to 1.1 it works from a terminal with this type of subnet

            You may need to reboot the unit after changing the LAN subnet IP.  Also, ensure that you have the correct DHCP IP range after changing the LAN IP.

            Additionally, you might need to check the NAT ruleset and firewall ruleset to ensure the LAN subnet is properly forwarded.

              I found the problem and its kind of a bug .
              My system has 2 on board and 2 extra lan cards 3 com/realtec/marvel chip
              When i enable both on board lan cards , none of the lan cards can communicate with the rest of the network , what ever i do and which card i choose.
              by the time i disable on board cards both extra lan cards works fine.
              I suppose this it a bug
