Internet access VS allows only DNS resolution from internal node and no HTTP access

Hi, I'm very new to the F5 and it's been ages since I configured any network device. I have a BIG-IP F5 VE 13.1.1-0.0.4 with VM workstation laptop lab environment. I'm trying to configure the F5 to allow a Windows 10 workstation on an internal network (10.10.10.0 attached to host-only VMnet2) to connect to the internet over HTTP. All I've been able to accomplish is that I can successfully do an nslookup to any external domain (microsoft.com, google.ca, etc.) from my Win10 client. I cannot however browse over HTTP.

 

Here is my network top:

 

The external interface network is 192.168.148.0 attached to the NAT VMnet8. On the F5 I setup a default gateway set to the IP address of VMnet8 (192.168.148.1):

 

I have set up a VS as follows:

 

And here is my self-IP config information, VM NIC configuration. Any help? thanks, Marcus

  • small correction in the network diagram. VMnet adapter 2 (external) is supposed to be VMnet8.
