SOLVED: IPv6 Made some weird VLAN Changes

[eminent]

Good afternoon,

Thank you in advance, I enabled IPv6, however my ISP does not provide IPv6.   Once I realized it, I disabled it.  However I have 4 VLANS.

LAN VLAN1
MANG VLAN3
SERV VLAN5
WORK VLAN7

Since disabling IPv6. I cannot RDP or ping any of my Windows Devices on VLAN7. I attached a Linux Device to VLAN7, I can ping the device, ssh to the device, but cannot ping the any of the windows machines.  But when I attach a VM to VLAN7, I can ping the Windows Devices.  All my Windows devices have access to the internet and after removing all Rules for segmentation, they can ping any device on the network.

In Example 1, I performed a Layer 4 Traceroute with lft to 3389, it shows that the port is open.
In Example 2, I performed NC to 3389, it shows that the port is open as well.
In Example 3, is the Packet Capture on LAN to 172.18.7.23, it shows the packet going out.
In Example 4, this is where I think its weird is it is showing the LAN Address of the Firewall which is 172.18.1.1, I did check this with a server on my management VLAN, and it doesn't do this it shows the respected IPs of 172.18.1.21 and 172.18.3.11
In Example 5, It shows my Ping to the VM successful.
In Example 6, shows I can ping the Windows Devices from the Linux VM

Stood up a Windows VM,  on that VM.  Same Issue.  Appears to only be Windows Devices

I am not sure why turning IPv6 on and back off would have any effect on IPv4 traffic. I am going to take a guess that this isn't a OPNsense issue considering it appears to be OS specific. I would first make sure that IPv6 is disabled on all firewall interfaces, not just the WAN interface. If connecting by hostname, make sure there is no chance of an IPv6 address resolution.

You can verify packets are passing the firewall by looking at the Live View under Firewall, you will want to create filter rules otherwise they will fly past faster than you can read them.

On the Windows side, my best guess is that the Windows firewall might be incorrectly classifying traffic crossing VLANs as edge transversal traffic, which it nearly always blocks by default. Verify this by turning the Windows firewall off on one host and seeing if that corrects the issue. If so, then you know that is where to focus.

If all else fails, reboot the switch and firewall...you shouldn't have to do that, but depending on how your trunk port is being negotiated, maybe something went wrong there (seems unlikely considering the Linux traffic is working). A switch reboot also forces all the hosts to reinitiate their IP stack, which isn't a bad thing given the odd Windows behavior.

Thank you.  And you are correct, it shouldn't change it.  I have resolved the issue, windows by default doesnt accept ICMP so I do not know why that linux box could ping it.  However, I updated my Linux Box and it updated Remmina, which broke my RDP.
