Hello all, first I like to thank you for your response.
I'm trying to set up a virtual lab in my home office and I'm having issues with internet connection from my virtual network. I believe I have everything set up correct but who knows. So I'm hoping that someone can help me out. Here is my setup:
You can see a photo shot of my setup here:
Host machine: Windows 8 w/ Virtual Box installed!
Virtual Box w/ pfsense VM and Windows Server 2008 VM installed!
pfsense: router/firewall
wan= bridged to host NIC, 192.168.0.X, static, no dhcp
lan= internal, gateway 192.168.1.1
Windows Server 2008:
lan= internal, static ip address 192.168.1.X
mask= 255.255.255.0
def gateway= 192.168.1.1
dns= primary: is my ISP dns server! secondary: 127.0.0.1
pfsense has an automatic outbound NAT, LAN TO WAN rule, You can see it here:
home router: netgear, gateway, NAT secured, dhcp, ip address 192.168.0.1
Every devices on the 192.168.0.X private network can access the internet as normal. Which is behind my home router.
My Server 2008 VM which is on the 192.168.1.X network which is behind my pfsense VM can not access the internet.
I can ping my home router from the Server 2008 VM. But can not get out to the web.
My ISP is Comcast: one public ip address
WHO CAN SOLVE THIS PUZZLE?
