No iptables. wasn't even installed until 2 minutes ago. No http proxy 
statements very generic gentoo installation on the laptop. I have not tried 
wget, but I did try telnet to a host on port 80 and the connection hung. I had 
to do a ^] to get out of it. I have not tried wget, lynx or curl, though they 
are all installed. 

I'll try a tcpdump from the pfsense machine the next time I'm in there and see 
what I find. 

thanks, 
Curtis

I have one, and it works fine on my various networks. 

OS and hardware likely aren't the issue here. Have you done something 
like 'export http_proxy="http://foobar:8080";' in your profile on the 
Linux box, or set up a port redirect with iptables, or any one of the 
other thousands of ways to muck with your http traffic on a Linux 
client? Have you tried using wget, curl, or lynx? 

Try the tcpdump from your pfSense system; it'll be the most immediate 
and apparent. If you see appropriate traffic (which at the moment I 
honestly doubt you will), then there's something really strange with 
your pfSense setup. Otherwise, you know it's something on the client.
