VmWare ESXI and pfsense no internet but can ping
-
Hello.
I have a ESXI 4.1 server with a couple of virtual machines. i new want to secure them with pfsense.
In esxi i have given pfsense 2 nics(1 pure virtual) and installed it, everything seems to be working, i can ping external IP's and dns but i cannot access the internet. It just tries to load the page for a realy long time and dont giveup.
Do someone have a solution?
If you need more information just say what you need and i will get it.

Did you set the NICs used by pfsense in permiscious mode? If not please re-read the esx howto.

Tagnard - Maybe start with the network diagram from the config tab for your ESXi host. I'm guessing but do you want to put your existing VMs in a DMZ behind pfSense VM?
Podilarius - ESX howto? Not having seen this I've never hd a need set any NICs to promiscuous mode but I haven't encountered any problems in ESXi 3.x, 4.x or 5.0. Now you've gone and stirred my curiosity :)

That interesting … I have had to do that on every ESXi deployment I have done.
