      How do you have your interfaces configured in VmW?

          Don't use that network for your LAN.  Use Custom: Specific virtual network and select VMnet2 or VMnet3.  I've done this a million times and I've never had this issue, but you are the second person I know of that uses the Host-only network and has this problem.

              I'm sure it would but I have no such thing for you.  In VmW, change your pfSense LAN interface to do as I suggested and then try again.

                  If everything is working via IP address then it's likely a DNS issue.

                    I can ping everything but cant access via web browser. not even GUI of pfsense.If that's also due to DNS issue. How to resolve it. I tried setting DNS to IP Of Pfsense ,Alt. DNS to 14.139.5.5 (provided by ISP)

                        While I haven't used Edge very much at all, I've never seen such a problem.  What worked for you, Firefox or Chrome?  Do you have any proxy settings defined in Control Panel - Internet Options - Connections - LAN Settings?

                            Chrome, IE and Edge all use the same system setting for proxy so if IE is working then my idea is wrong.  Oh well.  At least it's working but this is really weird.

                              Well, I don't think it's the browser… checked whether the packets are not simply dropped? (Lots of similar complaints with virtualization related to various offloading features.)
