      Hi All,

      I just did a fresh install of 2.2.6. I am a newbie to pfsense and currently
      is using Linux iptables as my firewall. The documentation said that by default
      "All outgoing connections from LAN are allowed" But in my case I can not
      ping a public ip address from inside the LAN. Pinging from the firewall itself
      does not work either. I can not even ping the WAN default gateway from within
      the firewall. As a test I connected a laptop using the same network configuration
      I am using on pfsense (IP address, default gateway, DNS) and I have not problem
      accessing the internet. I have not set any firewall rules yet.

      Here is my routing table:
      Internet:
      Destination        Gateway            Flags      Netif Expire
      default            66.11.95.126      UGS        re0
      66.11.95.0/25      link#1            U          re0
      66.11.95.2        link#1            UHS        lo0
      127.0.0.1          link#7            UH          lo0
      192.168.2.0/24    link#2            U          re1
      192.168.2.7        link#2            UHS        lo0

      Thanks in Advance

          Are you sure you've got your WAN netmask right? Subnetting /25 is a huge range of addresses.

              Yeah that is right. We have half a class C from our provider.

                Thank you for all that replied. It was the NIC that is the culprit.
                I did not at first suspect it because pfsense was able to detect it.
