      I had facing this problem a few month since after the PF system was setting up few month ago…

      The problem symptom:
      -Client get IP, but cannot communicate to the server(which is my pfsense).
      -Client still can communicate to others Client which those other client doesn't having any network problem, but just cannot communicate to the server.
      -It happened often on some of the client, some client never had this problem.
      -Sometime is happened a period of time in a week.

      Solution:
      -Add static IP on client pc.
      -Restart pfsense.

      My setting

      • DHCP lease time is 7200 second with captive portal 2 hour.
      • Max lease time is 86400 second
      • DHCP range are 172.16.1.50 - 172.16.2.255

      It just like a IP was DEAD, What's the problem actually, i really wondering and chagrin with this issue, anyone face this problem before? What do you think of this?
      any suggestion?
      thanks lot everyone :P

          Have you tried just releasing and renewing the DHCP lease on the client?

          We do what we must, because we can.
