Installing pfSense in VirtualBox when not using a router [SOLVED]
-
I have been looking at running pfSense in VirtualBox as an additional firewall on my W7 system. All the examples I have found explain how to do this on a system that is connect/using a router. I am not using a router and my ipconfig looks like this:

This could be just simply changing the Local area network to point to a specific 192.?.?.? address, but I'm not sure. -
