Pfsense Under Virtualbox with Windows server 2003 host

[emcel]

Hi all,

Can anybody help me with this setup.

What I really want is to run Pfsense under Virtual box and at the same time control a Switch

WAN - NIC1 - Pfsense box (virtual) - NIC2 - Switch - Pclients

I have been at this for 2 weeks already and had tried several configs but my internet connection goes down everytime I enable TCP/IP v4 on NIC 2. Many many thanks in advance to those who can solve this issue.

My setup

P4 with 2 GB Lan
Winserver 2003
VirtualBox

Router - 192.168.1.1

Pfsense Box 
WAN - DHCP
Lan - 192.168.2.1  - DHCP on
LAN1 - 192.168.3.1 - DHCP off - Gateway 192.168.2.1

VirtualBox
Adapter1 - DHCP - Bridged - Gigabit 1 (Physical)
Adapter2 - 192.168.2.2 - Bridged - Microsoft Loopback Adapter (Software) - Gateway 192.168.2.1
Adapter3 - ?          - ?      - Gigabit 2 (Physical) - ?

Switch

Client PC's - Ip address? - Gateway?

So I got it solved through hours and hours of research… basically I got rid of MSLB and reconfigured everything. I now have a working server and network that connects to the net via pure software pfsense. Now it's time to connect diskless nodes to this server...
