      I have the same issue.

      In the resolv.conf file and nameserver file I get the same thing, just with my ISP's DNS server instead.

      Below is the GUI, looks sorta weird, the ISP DNS servers cell is missing.

          I can't duplicate the issue with stock DHCP.  I guess everyone is running PPPoE?  I see thinair's screenshot which supports this hunch.

          Please modify /etc/rc.newwanip and insert:

          /* regenerate DNS servers / resolv.conf */
                  system_resolvconf_generate();

          Right before:

          /* signal filter reload */
          touch("/tmp/filter_dirty");

          Does it fix it?

              What does /var/etc/resolv.conf show now?

              Please make a screenshot of what you mean as blank.

                  update_file.sh /etc/inc/pfsense-utils.inc

                  And please try again.

                      Okay, I'm still waking up, but I think that it should be okay now.

                      update_file.sh /etc/inc/pfsense-utils.inc

                      And reboot again.

                      BUMP!  Please test this ASAP, I'm about out of time for the day and need to get a new version out the door if this fixes your issue!

                        Still not running.

                        Now I get "Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in /etc/inc/pfsense-utils.inc on line 1118" going in the Firmware menu (/system_firmware_check.php).

                        In the GUI, in Interface, now i can read the DNS. This is the HTML:

                        ISP DNS servers
                        
                        		85.37.17.13
                        
                        

                        (I noted the two "
                        ". I think it's only comestic).

                        /var/etc/nameserver.conf is not found.

                        # cat /var/etc/resolv.conf
                        domain local
                        
                        

                        Tell me if you need anything else.

                        Best.
                        Emanuele

                          That is because we mixed head with RELENG_1.  Try this from a shell:

                          fetch -o /etc/inc/pfsense-utils.inc "http://cvs.pfsense.com/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/~checkout~/pfSense/etc/inc/pfsense-utils.inc?rev=1.316.2.23;content-type=text%2Fplain;only_with_tag=RELENG_1"

                              I'm at a loss, because Emab says the interfaces now show in interfaces status.

                              What i've done REALLY should have fixed it.

                                        /etc/rc.conf_mount_rw
                                        fetch -o /etc/inc/system.inc "http://cvs.pfsense.com/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/~checkout~/pfSense/etc/inc/system.inc?rev=1.79.2.12;content-type=text%2Fplain;only_with_tag=RELENG_1"

                                          I get this:
                                          fetch: http://cvs.pfsense.com/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/~checkout~/pfSense/etc/inc/system.inc?rev=1.79.2.12;content-type=text%2Fplain;only_with_tag=RELENG_1: No address record

                                          In fact I've always gotten that no address record message with every fetch entered here.

                                          Anyway, still didn't work.  I appreciate the effort you're putting into this though.  I guess it is a PPPoE thing?
