Hi Joerg, When I made this same test (I think it is the same), I had to be sure that the physical NIC used on the outside link was only accessible from the RED interface of the EFW VM. I assigned it a bogus IP in the host, which was not used, only so that it would not try to obtain an IP from the Provider. In this way, you also can control which default gateway the host is actually using (because it has physically 2 NIC cards). So, you will want the "inside" physical NIC of your host machine to be attached (bridged) to the GREEN virtual NIC in the EFW VM, and another NIC (which the host really does not use) assigned to the RED interface virtual NIC. I had trouble also with wireless, because of the AP that must be involved also, so I ended up putting a second wired NIC into the host. Since the AP must be in the same broadcast domain as the wireless NIC in the host, along with the virtual GREEN NIC, it was much easier to use only wired components in this design. I also tested with a USB NIC adapter, which was much easier than putting in another PCI card.

I tried now with the wired connection with the same settings and there it works without any problems, with and without proxy. All works, but not with wireless connection. Any ideas, else I move to wired connection.
