      Hi,

      I pretty much followed the tutorial on installing pfsense on vmware step by step. My computer is set up with two physical network interfaces (one wired and one wireless). The WAN is assigned to one of the VMWare interfaces and the LAN is assigned to another VMWare interface. My router assigns a DHCP IP address to the WAN interface, and the LAN interface gets 192.168.1.1. My problem is, however, that I cant access the web interface of pfsense through either IP addresses. What am I missing?

          I had to bridge the created vmnet 2 to one of my physical network adapters and put it on the same ip range :/

          and the default u/p is admin/pfsense :/
