      hello newbie here..
      I have setup a virtualbox pfsense with 2NICS onboard and a PCI NIC

      here is my diagram.

      ISP->Onboard NIC(WAN) DHCP Enable
      PCI NIC(LAN)->DD-WRT Router(DIR-600)

      my problem is i can't access the internet and i don't have a switch that's why i directly connected my PIC NIC to dd-wrt router's LAN PORT(1)

        Please help us to help you by proving more details:
        Can't access the internet from where?
        How did you attempt to access the internet? (ping? ftp? http? telnet? ssh? …)
        What was reported when you attempted the access?

          both can't access the Internet but they can access both routers
          pfsense 192.168.1.1
          DD-WRT 192.168.1.2

            Have you disabled DHCP on the dd-wrt box?

            Can you ping something on the internet from the pfSense box? Via the webgui perhaps? Is it showing the WAN connection as online on the dashboard?

              ^ my guess as well.  If you don't disable dhcp on dd-wrt, then it would point to it as gateway - from your setup there is nothing connected to wan of dd-wrt.

              From a client that is trying to use the internet - lets see its config..  ip/mask gw and dns

              And yup - can pfsense get to the internet?

                yup i have disable DHCP on dd-wrt and on the advanced routing tab i set it on router (default gateway)
                on pfsense GUI the WAN connection and the LAN is up
