Unable to ping host after installation
-
Hi,
I recently installed pfsene on vmware workstation by following the below article
http://resources.infosecinstitute.com/setting-pentest-lab-pfsense-virtualbox/
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?
