      So I am trying to update my packages since I am using a VMware workstation but when I click on the system-package manager- Available Packages I get a message that states Unable to retrieve package information. It also show me that there are no packages currently installed. Any advise....

        This means that pfSense itself can't use the WAN (or WANs) to go outside, connect to the pfSense Package server and down the the list with available packages.

        I've only one advice (based on the info you've given) : go back to default settings and you'll be fine.

        Did you install packages before ?
        If yes : so it did work before ?
        if yes : undo what you did (recently) and thinks go back to normal.

        Btw

        VMware workstation

        the fact that you use a b c d e .... as a device or a VM device doesn't matter. Ones set up the "virtual hardware" it keeping on running well.
        Usual tests have to be executed like : cables/witches/upstream router ok etc.
