      I am having an issue getting internet to work on my virtual environment. I installed pfsense as a virtual machine as well as Windows server 2008. I followed step from "HOW TO" installation . Here are my settings for my pfsense:
      WAN- EM0- 192.168.1.20/24 setup in Bridged Mode
      LAN- LE0- 192.168.8.20/24 added additional NIC to VMNET 8 and disabled DHCP because I want to setup my Server to handle DHCP

      I am able to connect to PFSENSE on WINDOWS SERVER 2008 via IP 192.168.8.20.

      The following is the network settings on server 2008:
      IPV4: 192.168.8.5
      subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
      Default gateway: 192.168.8.1

      DNS: 192.168.8.5

      But I can't get out to the internet from my server 2008. I want to create a virtual environment and I plan on adding 2 more servers and 3 client machines.

      Any help would be appreciated. Happy holidays

        Well your pfsense is "LAN- LE0- 192.168.8.20"  What is this gateway 8.1 your pointing too?
