If a computer doesn't pick up a DHCP address I believe it gets an APIPA

computer wouldn't be able to do much of anything anyways as the subnet is
different and there isnt a gateway to my knowledge, so a standard setup of a
DHCP server and client machines sounds like what you want no?
If a computer isn't receiving a DHCP address from your pfsense then you have a
configuration issue, or your scope is too small (not set to give out enough
addresses), or there is a physical problem somewhere in your network.
Cole, forgive me if I'm mis-understanding, but I'm pretty sure I
understand what your saying. The client isn't asking for an IP address.
They are manually (statically assigning) typing in an IP address into
their computer and getting onto the network this way.
I'm sorry I didn't explain that very well in my original email.

Hi,
I would like every machine on my network to get it's address from
PFSense's DHCP server.
If it doesn't receive an address from the DHCP server (if they pick some
arbitrary address on the same subnet) how do I dis-allow them access to
network services?
Does this make any sense to do this? Does this make sense to not do this?
