PFSense NIC config help

Hello,

I have VirtualBox running on my OMV setup and want to have PFSense replace my router. I'm having trouble getting PFSense to pick up my IP from my ISP; even though OMV can see it in the network settings. I've tried all sorts of network settings in VB with no help. Has anyone installed PFSense using OMV + VB? If so, I'd appreciate your help.

My setup:

HP Microserver
1xLAN from Microserver: OMV is getting IP from this port
Dual NIC: I had one port for the WAN connection and the other was to be used for internal traffic (DHCP)

Under network make sure you use bridged adapter and the your nic name is the same as the bare metal machine. So if the machine you have virtual box on is eth0 make the vm eth0, if it is eth1 make the vm eth1.

Yup; got that part covered. But the NIC isn't active (no link activity) unless I assign an IP to it in OMV. Does that make sense?

For me working as following:

and

please note that all bridged nics have to static address and different subnets.

Thanks for this. Wouldn't you need one for your WAN? Looks like all of your traffic is local.

I'm still having problems getting into the web console. Perhaps we can start from the beginning.

Here's my current setup

And here's what I'm trying to accomplish:

So, I guess I need to find out:
When I static assign my local LAN in OMV
When I configure the LAN and WAN port for PFSense within the console (not the webgui).

Just to confirm, do I need to assign any other static IPs in OMV? Or just the one that I currently have for my NAS?

And my wireless router will keep the 10.0.0.1 IP but turn off DHCP, right?

So I am up and running with the exception of the WAN. I have a cable modem so the PPPoE won't work for me. I've tried a few settings within the WAN configuration menu but I can't get internet to work

I have a static assigned IP for this connection in OMV as 10.0.10.1
