I appreciate everyones input on this. I'm so new to this not sure where to start troubleshooting the problem or if theres a misconfig. The below suggestion was definately very helpful but still didnt work so Im at a loss with it.

PF firewall rule: Proto:any Source: Office net Port: any Dest: any Gateway:any ( for vlan)
Interfaces: LAN : rl1 (Tried it as vlan1 on rl1 also)
Office: VLAN 3 on rl1

Switch: Default Port Vlan: All set to 1 except port11 pvid:3
Default Vlan1 Port 25 (pf box) untagged  Port24 untagged -working
Office VLAN ID3 Port25 tagged, Port 11 untagged - not working dhcp/static dont pass traffic I'm about worn out as I'm not sure if its something minor I'm missing, the switch is bad, or both nics on the pf box don't pass vlan traffic to switch correctly (rtl8139 nic's)
If the nics on the pf are bad any recommendations for replacement?
If I missed something in the description let me know and Ill post back

I'm not sure how much help this will be but I've got the same switch (Dell 3024) and I'm using VLANs to provide a layer of insulation between my wired network and wireless access point. I have my pfSense box plugged into port 1 on the switch and the wireless access point plugged into port 3. Under the VLANs option I have all ports "Untagged" on the default VLAN (id 1). On my second "wireless VLAN" (using id 6), I have port 1 "Tagged" and port 3 "Untagged", and all other ports are not included in the VLAN (blank). Under "Default Port VLAN" I have all ports set to id 1 except for port 3 which is set to id 6 (the id I'm using for the wireless VLAN).

So then in pfSense I have my LAN set to the actual physical adapter and I added a VLAN interface using the same adapter and VLAN id 6. I hope this helps...if you need more help understanding what's happening with the VLAN settings in the switch I can try to help more but its kind of hard to describe. ;) Adam

    Not sure if anyone had looked at the config file but since i have
    not heard back I decided to start over. Did a clean install of
    pfsense. Not sure if I have the dell powerconnect switch
    configured correctly but get different stories. There is only 1
    switch and some say I need a trunk port some say no.
    Heres the Layout for now that I want to get working
                                  [Pfsense]

Port25 (Links to pfsense box) Port24- test port1( vlan1 - port25
    tagged, port24 untagged) / Port1 test port 2 (vlan2 port25 tagged,
    port1 untagged)

    In the pfsense box set LAN to vlan1 on rl0, Switch set port25
    tagged and port 24 untagged and unable to get traffic across.
    Before  I was able to set LAN to vlan1 and move traffic across
    port 24 but then when added the 2nd vlan and setup vlan2 as tagged
    on port25 untagged port1, Port1 would not get a dhcp address, Set
    manually still no traffic. I'm almost at the point in thinking
    something is wrong with the switch passing vlan traffic. I did
    update the firmware to the newest version.

    Never have worked with vlan's before and I am trying to learn this
    so I could implement it at work by the time our phone  system gets
    put in place which will be based on asterisk and therefore want to
    separate the clients computers that are viruses infected from our
    network that also has a server on it. Currently running on 2
    differenent routers to separate the 2.  Thank you in advance.

        Reset pw to the factory default

        I took out the WAN2 ip as that is a static ip. The WAN is set
        to dhcp for now. Let me know if I need to do anything anything
        else. The lan ip I'm not worried about as it is a test network
        for now and will change once in production
