      NAT might work, Bridge would be a better choice IMO (since that gives the pfSense host it's own IP).

      It may also be that you need to configure the Windows firewall to allow the traffic.

            Does pfSense have an Internet connection?

            Can the XP host ping 192.168.1.1?

            And, again what does your Windows 7 firewall settings look like?

              Yes, XP can ping.

                      Try putting the pfSense's WAN interface into the bridge instead, that removes Windows 7's networking as part of your problem (at the moment you're trying to use it as a router, but you haven't configured it to do so).

                        i think problem is virtual network settings. You can find in pic1 my own vmware virtual network settings. I use vmnet0 for internet access and it is bridged with my host Ethernet. You should make vmnet0 bridge mode with your windows Ethernet card then you will ping to internet. If you send your virtual network image we i can help you.

                        Kind regards,
