"Failed to obtain IP address" ?? DHCP problem
-
If I were you I'd save the config for reference, reset, and start over. Basic config of WAN, LAN. And when something doesn't work, don't look for the solution in pfSense and get all clicky clicky. Look at the logs and figure out what you have screwed up elsewhere. Ask here if you don't know. Then move to OPT1, same thing.
That is my next step, but I hope this can be fixed, so we know what went wrong.

We got a new case with motherboard, hard drive, etc
After installation I restored the config and edited some IP settings (switched from 4 to 3 nic's, we had a conflict with the internal network port so I disabled it)From the hardware list. it looks like you may have an internal WiFi card, is that correct?
What was the "conflict with the internal network port"?
I also agree with Derelict, a save then reset from scratch and work one step at a time in rebuilding could save a bunch of hassles in the long run.

You can always diff the two configs later.

Not that I know off, only onboard lan.
It was a IRQ conflict (can't remember what it sad, sorry) and disabled the onboard lan.
On Monday they are closed all day, so until than I'm open for thinks to try.
Else Monday I will reset it and start over.Thanks for your replays Derelict and divsys.

True, but if it works the pressure is gone and so has the time to look at it ;)
We will see :D

Hmmmm, an IRQ conflict could lead to any number of "flakey" issues. Can you manually assign IRQ's for the NIC's or barring that, try moving the NICs to different slots to see if they get assigned differently?
Might be worth looking to see if there's a BIOS update available for the MB as well.
Was this a new bought board or something older that's being re-purposed?
If you have any other NIC cards available for testing (especially non-Realtek) that may be worthwhile as well.
I know the Realtek's are cheap and readily available, but there's often a reason they're cheap ….. :-X -
Ended up starting over after a system factory default.
Now two weeks later there are problems again!! >:(Read here > https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=100549.0
