Network not allowing Bridged Adapters

[techdiode]

I'm using VirtualBox. Normally if I want the VM to show up on my local network I use the "bridge" configuration instead of the the VirtualBox NAT. This has always worked fine on my machines until I just replaced my router with a PFSense box.

 

I can't ping my router from the guest VM. I can ping it fine from my host machine. 

 

Is there some firewall rule in PFSense that I need to change to allow bridged adapters on the network?

No PFSense should work just fine, I have a PFSense box and had no issues with bridging on Virtual box

 

What IP address and default gateway is your VM getting assigned?

What IP address and default gateway is your host getting assigned?

 

Make sure you are bridging to the correct adapter on the host computer.

Interesting. I set it up with a static IP and it working fine. For some reason it isn't working with the DHCP. Oh, well. Static will work fine.

That is strange,

 

I would double check DHCP settings on pfsence make sure it is running and setup correctly. Make sure you have a big enough range for pfsense to lease IPs.

For example 192.168.1.100 through 192.168.1.254 or something like that.

 

Also vms will create there own mac address so if you have deny unknown clients enabled pfsence will deny them a DHCP lease until you have added the mac address.
