I am running pfsense beta2 on vmware server beta and I am trying to use a
single bridged nic to run  the firewall.
I have a trunk port coming from the switch, and I have set it up nicely (
monowall in the same configuration runs without problems).

On my w2k server, there are two nics, one is a rhine ii ( the server itself,
no vlan), and a EtherLink XL "dedicated" to the vmware server and where the
trunk is terminated (3 vlans, LAN, DMZ and EXT).

If I run pfsense, I am able to ping its lan address, but when I try to
connect to the gui using the browser, I got the username/password prompt.
Once I enter the default, on the w2k server I got a ballon msg saying that
3Com nic cable is unplugged several times. The gui never shows up.

I am using the image from
http://wiki.pfsense.com/wikka.php?wakka=VMWareESXandServerEdition that uses
e1000 as emulated nic, the amd ones are not vlan capable in pfsense(why?)

Any ideas or suggestion? I would like to have a router/firewall in my
virtual environment that runs on a single nic using vlans.

TIA,

Giuseppe Marullo

PS: No I can't use ESX...yet
