How to connect to pfsense with physical ethernet port
-
Hi,
I am a noob when it comes to pfsense i installed everything in a vm on hyper-v, and setup wan connected to the internet and a lan. Now when i try to insert a ethernet cable in the server i am not connecting to pfsense is there any possiblity to make this happen?

@gerrietech Which interfaces (network cards) did you assign to that VM, and did you plug the cable into the LAN interface?
-
@steveits i assigned a virtual switch connected to the internet (hn0) and a virtual internal switch for the lan (hn1)

I figured out how to connect my computer to the pfsense vm. On windows server 2016 i went to network connections where i can see all my ethernet adapters. Then i selected in my case ethernet 3 where my computer is connected and the internal lan adapted and bridged the two adapters. In the bridged adapter i changed the ipv4 adress and i was connected to the router.
However now i am connected but still dont have internet and i am able to ping 8.8.8.8 but not google.com i get the error dns could not be resolved when trying to access internet in chrome.
