PfSense Troubleshooting
-
I trying to make a connection between the three machines which I installed in the Vmware Workstation Pro including pfsense, i already did a configuration both in the pfsense and the windows machine and assigned the static IP, I was able to ping from one machine to the other, even when i ping to the 8.8.8.8from my windows (vm) i got the reply. but the problem is that it always shows that there is no internet connection. and when i ping from the same windows using the domain name e.g., ping google.com it says "Ping request could not find the host google.com name". can you help me solve this?

So obviously the Windows machine is not able to resolve host names.As you've did the network settings on the vm manually, you need also to configure a DNS server to be used. By default pfSense provides the DNS resolver, so you can set the pfSense interface IP as DNS on Windows.
