I need help getting started.

Hello,

This is my first post in this forum so please be gentle.

I have installed pfSense on a small Atom based server. It has two on board Realtek Nics and two Intel Pro 1000 nics. I have set up the WAN and LAN nics on the Intel. Assigned opt1 and opt2 to the Realteks.

I have a Dell 1950 server. I have vmWare ESXi on it. I assign 36.69.243.121 to vmWare GUI. I run 5 different vm's on it. Each with a static ip. Web servers, email, a couple of custom applications. I have a dozen or so static ips. I use 69.36.243.170 as the WAN. I use the default 192.168.1.1 on the LAN. I use 36.69.243.120 for Gateway. My subnet is 255.255.255.240 or /28. I can access the WebGUI ove the LAN.

Everything is located at a data center. I have physical access to my server.

When I hook every thing up, my servers are unreachable from the web. I have tried all kinds of port forwarding, firewall rules, static rout, and bridging combos. No matter what I try, I can't reach my servers from anywhere.

So, I ask, can anybody get me started? Should I give my vm servers local ip's and port forward? Should I be bridging or static routing? I have configured a few windows firewalls and understand the basics. Just barley it seems. I bought the book. Read the first half. Two weekends into this project and I am still stuck.

Can you draw that network please, with IPs by each device.

Looks like a basic networking problem ;)

You need to either use RFC1918 addresses, or the real ones, not both.
