Of course! If nothing is plugged into LAN the interface is down and the IP address not reachable

dude, that was it!!  i didn't realize that the interface goes down if nothing is plugged into it. 

I use all managed Cisco switches on my main network.  I am just trying to slowly move my config from Pfsense to Opnsense.  I have a mini pc running Opnsense with an old unifi AP connected to it.  I just wanted to be able to wirelessly login to Opnsense wifi and slowly work on setting up all my stuff without having a wire dangling across my room for my kids or dog to trip on.  I will just leave a switch plugged into it for the meantime.

thanks again, i am embarrased to say how much time i spent on this!!

couldn't figure out how to download the logs so i just took a screenshot of it.  This is the laptop continuously trying to ping the firewall.  This is successful only when my other laptop is plugged into the lan.

sorry man, have been out Christmas shopping for the kids and was on my phone, will try to post the log file.  thanks for trying anyways.

yes I can connect to it directly.

something very weird.  I connected a laptop at 192.168.20.30 and setup a continuous ping to 192.168.10.1 and it was working. At the time I had my other laptop connected to the lan and it was getting an ip of 192.168.10.14. as soon as I disconnect my laptop from the Lan, the ping from the other laptop fails.  when I plug my laptop back to the lan, the ping works again. its acting like I am pinging the other laptop but I am actually pinging the 192.168.10.1 ip.

what setting is wrong here?

i was just trying to make a wide open rule to at least let me ping between subnets.   I also disabled all the ipv6 on my network as i thought that may be part of the problem.  In pfsense, i thought i just made a rule that allowed my laptop to any and it worked right away.  I literally worked on it for hours last night and couldn't get it working, lol.

thanks for ther reply.. i do have that set and this is my rule for that subnet.. does this look right?

Hey guys, new here, coming from PFsense.

I am trying to access the webgui (192.168.10.1) from my laptop (192.168.20.14).  Is there anything more i need than firewall rules from 192.168.20.0 to any?  i cannot connect.

any help would be appreciated.
