In 2.x the notice says press apply, THEN go change DHCP. I've tried it
both ways w/o success. Again, I'll caveat this by saying that I didn't
wait around, perhaps long enough for the Alix to come back. And that
could be the cause of my confusion.

Next time, when you change the LAN interface subnet just don't press
APPLY. It actually gives you a RED notice to go ahead and change DHCP
server range as well and then come back and press APPLY.
That is what happens with pfSense 1.2.3
If that is not the case with pfSense 2.x then the developers have made
a great mistake in coding as console is the last thing you want to do
(since cable and serial port is not always readily available)

Alix running pf 20 RC1 nano. Trying to change from default

nothing fancy.
WHAT I DID
With DHCP enabled and serving on 192.168.1.x, tried to change
LAN ip using the web GUI. I can guess why it does not work -
DHCP is trying to serve on the old network and the LAN is
trying to change it's network. Don't get any love on either
network. Turning DHCP off - figured I'd assign my laptop a
new address manually since there is no DHCP. Nothing on
either network.
I think it's time to go read the book.
It might be easiest for you to fix this from the console.
Log in (if you have it configured to require login), then choose
option 2 from the menu ("Set interface(s) IP address").
Make sure you enter the DHCP addresses in full: i.e. 192.168.100.x.

Yea, the console did it. Thanks for the nudge.
