      I have two virtual machines in virtualbox: pfSense and Linux
      Here the network settings:
      Linux: - Adapter 1 attached to Nat network named "Topgun network"
      pfSense: - Adapter 1 attached to Nat network named "Topgun network"
      -Adapter 2 attached to Bridget Adapter name (Realtek RTL8723B Wireless LAN 802.11n USB 2.0 Network Adapter)
      pfSense IP:
      wan => 192.168.100.9
      LAN => 192.168.2.1 (i had to change this IP because 192.168.1.1 is the IP of my home modem)

      When i try to ping pfSense (ping 192.168.100.9) the terminal show this error:
      From 192.168.100.7 icmp_seq=1 Destination Host Unreachable
      when i stop the ping process the terminal show that the 100% of the packets is lost
      I also tried to ping linux from pfSense and for some reason 100% of the packets is recieved
      Also if i go to the pfSense configuration page http://192.168.2.1 the page took too much time to load and at the end it shows an error.
      i watched some videos on youtube, i did the same exact passages that were done by the youtubers, i tried to install old version of pfSense, i tried to use an usb wifi adapter, i tried to change IP and Network settings of the machine but no one of this things helped and i can't understand why.
      Maybe this is a problem of the computer or there is something else?

        What is 192.168.100.7?

        What IP are you pinging from?

        Which adapter is that subnet on?

        I recommend not using Net networks in VBox unless you have no choice, it makes everything much more complex.
