Just a thought ..

I have seen ISPs that give out silly IP addresses that can't be routed
and require NAT.

You wouldn't happen to have one of those?

When you send (initiate) a packet out on port abc, and it is allowed
through, the firewall opens up a "hole" (which is stored in the state
table)
that allows a response from the IP the packet was sent to on the return
port
specified in the packet.

You use inbound rules (WAN->LAN) when you want to allow sessions to be
initiated from the internet/untrusted interface.

As long as the default "allow all" outbound rule is in place, you can do

things like ping and browse the web with no problem from the LAN side.

I appreciate the help though.


The nice/not so nice thing is this...
I did some testing and confirmed my suspicions.
pfSense works beautifully...

lol, my ISP configured the LAN subnet of the dsl modem/router correctly.
The
static route to my WAN port on their main routers correctly correctly.
But
it seems they screwed up a line somewhere on my DSL modem/router and any

packet that is not originating from the same subnet as the DSL modem's
LAN
side on the dsl modem's LAN side is being sent into the ether...

Since, NATed packet originate from the pfSense's WAN subnet which is the

same subnet as the modem's LAN subnet they get through.

But when I turn off NAT, the packets originate from my LAN subnet and
the
packets go for a wild ride into nothingness....

AIYA!!!!

Hopefully, I'll have this fixed by tomorrow morning....

Thanks for everyone's help!!!
It was much appreciated!!!
