General Discussion / 19.1 in VirtualBox - WAN never picks up an address (0.0.0.0)
« on: May 29, 2019, 10:59:49 pm »
So, I'm attempting to move from pfsense to opnsense and I'm trying to load opnsense into a virtual environment so I can do a side-by-side transfer of most or all of my custom settings. I've found videos and looked at various write-ups but nothing seems to be working.
I load the OS via the ISO and it comes up with what you see in the screen-shot. The WAN interface either never shows IP or it shows an IP of 0.0.0.0. In my troubleshooting, I've unplugged the LAN interface in the VM's settings and that's why the screen-shot shows nothing for the WAN. I've installed it anyway and went into the CLI config and verified that the interfaces' MAKs match up with the vNICs I'm using so they're correct.... What am I missing?
Side note:
The same (cloned) VM will install and run pfsense without issue.
