      Do you get DHCP?
      Can you resolve names?
      Can you ping the pfSense interface address?

      Do all that while plugged directly into pfSense LAN.

      If it doesn't work at all, what are your firewall rules on LAN?

      If it works like that but doesn't when you're using your switch, the problem's in the switch.

      DO NOT set a source address/port in a port forward or firewall rule unless you KNOW you need it!

        i have internet to everything on the switch and i can ssh into pfsense through any computer. just for some reason i cant bring up the web gui. my firewall rules are just the stock setting. so all ipv4 and ipv6 traffic can go though the LAN port. i think it has to do with turning the the MDIX opt on  in the switch so that i can get internet through to the switch.  i did take a wireshark capture of my comptuer trying to access the web gui if that will help any.

          I haven't look recently but isn't there an option on the console for turning on/off and restarting the Web GUI?  You might give that a try.

                Try http (port 80) instead of https (port 443).

                    Well at least you're getting back an ack.

                    Try resetting to factory defaults.  Console option 4.

                        Try a different client and also a different browser.

                              Hello,
                              I am having the same issue. Where my Wan IP shows as 0.0.0.0 . And I have already contacted Cox about resetting the mac address. And it didn't fix it.

                                I know this is old but i had this problem, and it ending being a NIC issue. The Computer has 4 IGB intel nics, I had to add an intel EM nic and it fixed my problem for my WAN interface with Google fiber.
