      Hello everyone!

      I recently changed NIC cards on my PFSense (2.2.6-RELEASE) hardware from a 2 port NIC to a 4 port NIC and now the WebGUI will not load.  However, I setup the WAN and LAN ports through the CLI and I am able to access other online websites as well as SSH to PFSense from my LAN but the WebGUI will not load from the LAN.  I have set a static IPv4 for PFSense so SSH and the Web GUI are the same IP address.  Is this some sort of issue were the Web GUI needs to bind to the new WAN port on the new NIC card?  Or something else?  Any help is always appreciated!

        They always shared the same IP (on LAN of course).

        SSH en web GUI (http or https) only differ in the port number (22, 80 or 443)

        Web GUI on WAN == major security flaw.
        Try contacting web gui on LAN.
        Check if it is running (suing direct screen / keyboard access) or SSH acces.
        Restart it using option 11 and/or 16.

        No "help me" PM's please. Use the forum, the community will thank you.
        Edit : and where are the logs ??

          Thanks for the reply.  If you look at my original post I stated:

          but the WebGUI will not load from the LAN.

          Also, tried option 11 and 16 as well as rebooted the entire system but that did not work.  I assume the process of the WebGUI is named: lighttpd in order to check if it is running?
