So heres my conundrum, I have DSL which provides my wireless network, and I have a pfsense box that runs my wired, the problem I have is that the two networks cannot see eachother and get different adresses, any ideas on how to make them talk to eachother?

My pfsense box has a wireless card in it, but I was never able to get it to work right in face trying to set it up messed up my networks and I had to reinstall on that box, so I dont want to use it.
 
No offense, but the description as posted doesn't make a whole lot of sense.
It would be very helpful to have some sort of diagram to get an idea of your setup.

My first guess would be that you have multiple DHCP servers. pFsense has a DHCP server enabled by default, and I imagine your WiFi router does as well. To start, I would strongly suggest simplifying and removing one or the other.
 
Does your modem have a bridged mode and also ethernet?

If it does I would log into the modem, set it into bridged mode. Connect ethernet from modem to pfsense box.

Next you'll need to log into pfsense and go to interfaces > WAN from there set the mode to PPPoE don't forget to set the username and password. ( These are the credentials that you would usually plug into the modem which authenticate you to your ISP )

Also you are gonna have to buy an Access Point if you wanna setup wifi.

If you want better responses, you'll need to give details about your equipment and setup.
