Unable to ping host after installation

darrengray

Hi,

I recently installed pfsene on vmware workstation by following the below article

My Observations:

New vm's is successfully able to get ip from pfsense
Able to access pfsense web GUI from another VM
I am also able to ping 10.0.0.1 from new vm(i know its obvious, just letting you know.. :))

But i am unable to do two things,

Unable to ping the host PC(by selecting 7 in options in pfsense)
Even after configuring DNS server as 8.8.8.8/4.4.4.4 i am unable to access the internet

Kindly let me let where i could have possibly gone wrong

probably an issue with your virtual-networking configuration

you probably want the virtual-WAN to set to "bridged" inside the vmware workstation configuration for the pfsense-VM

Hi,

I have set two network cards for the pfsense VM,

The first one is set to Bridged and the second one is set to VMnet1(Host-Only)

I too feel its the Virtual network but not sure which part of it is wrong..

perhaps you need to uncheck "Block private networks and loopback addresses ' on you pfsense wan interface?
