Hi there,

I am very new to this technical world ! I have installed virtualbox on my pc and pfsense. When I ran the pfsense, it displays the DHCP and IP address (10.0.10.1).

Also I have installed windows server 2008 R2 and given a statice IP address (10.0.10.5) and gateway address (10.0.10.1) but it is not connected.

I am getting ! sign on my network right bottom of screen.

And you want pfsense to be your gateway? Why would you install pfsense as VM - what are you trying to accomplish.

New to tech world and you want to jump right in with using a VM as your internet gateway?

How are you physically connected to the internet, how is your host to running virtual box connected to internet?

Are you running nat or bridge mode on your virtualbox nic you gave your VMs? That is connected to physical nic how?

Need some details and then very happy to help you - but without some details of what your trying to accomplish and what your working with your post doesn't help us help you.

    • Apart from a few very specific hiccups, Windows 11 has been good for me. Rock solid and stable. Unpopular opinion, I know, but it's mine.
    • No. Windows 8 had little to no spywhare, is actually faster than 7 but it has the dreaded start screen, nothing that you could not fix with start8. Windows ME crashed often, but was shotlived and replaced by XP, which is a much better windows in itself.
    • Windows 8 was uninspiring but it was fine / worked. It was just overshadowed by how great Windows 7 was. Windows ME seem to be just unstable for most people - I was using Windows 2000, which was far superior. The two best versions are Windows 7 and 2000
    • I don't think ME was that bad. The stability issues were mostly caused by drivers. This was when the switch from vxd to wdm was happening. The other complaint was not being able to shut down into DOS anymore which was silly with XP right around the corner.
    • As much as I hated Windows 8, although I never used it personally on any of my own machines, I think Windows Me was hands down the worst OS from MS. I have Windows 11 on 2 unsupported machines and haven't had any issues and I actually kind of like it. Still hate how slow Windows updates are though.
