No DNS Resolution
-
@sdale:
Try entering manual DNS entries under the 'System>General Setup' menu. Uncheck the box allow DNS entries to be overwritten by dhcp. Report back what you find.
I have the same problem as regis(only one ISP, though). Already tried sdale's suggestion.
How can I fix this? -
I really need help with this, the pfsense box is in my house and this problem is driving me crazy.
-
Today I reinstalled with the "1.2-TESTING-SNAPSHOT-07-21-2007" ISO and the problem persists, I dont know what to do now, please help me guys.

Hi.
I am experiencing the same/similar problems as the others in this post.
I see traffic in and out but web page resolution is hit and miss.
It will work for a few seconds then stop.
I can ping across the box from the lan to an external site and then it vanishes.
I can ping from the diagnostics page to an external site then it vanishes.
I have a static IP WAN IP and static DNS servers.I have set up the DNS servers in the general setup page.
I have unchecked the box allows DNS entries to be overwritten by dhcp.
DNS Forwarding is enabled.
I have no packages installed
I have tried 1.2 Beta 1, 1.2 Beta 2 and 1.2 RC 1.
I have tried updates and fresh intalls in every case the results are the same.
I'm going to try 1.01 today but I see from the previous posts this may not work either.The potentials of this project are huge.
Keep up the good work ! -
Still stuck with this problem.
I noticed something: When my pfsense box stops working(no dns resolution, unable to ping static ip addresses, cant do anything with my wan) I can see the status of the wan with my IP address, my subnet mask but my ISP gateway is gone. Maybe this will give you a hint of what is my problem.
BTW, if I reboot the pfsense box, the internet connection starts working again. -
Update from my end.
After extensive testing and building.
I had 3 seperate boxes built with every flavour of ipcop, monowall and pfsense.
I even replaced my production gateway to put it on the new circut, when I saw it failing to resolve web pages I started thinking outside of the box….
I came to realise that the static DNS servers that I was given to connect to where out to lunch.
It was only when I put in the dns numbers from opnendns.org did I get what I'm paying for.
10meg fibre. 10 up and 10 down and with genuine real webpages too.LOL
I called the help desk 3 times on this.They said there was no problem on their end.
When I ran a trace route to the DNS servers there was long delays not only in resolving but in arriving.
I did the trace route to opendns and it was fast no delay all resolved.This is a very cool idea.
You can even enable blocking for unsafe sites, put in filters for adult contact and totally free.
It restored my sanity and solved my problem.
I have been load testing the circut late at night and pfsense has exceeded my hopes.
It is so simple to try its worth the test.
I hope it resolves some of the other problems you guys are struggling with here.
Cheers -

CheersSadly, Im from Argentina. Using opendns for dns resolution severely lags my web browsing. This sucks…
