      After the upgrade to 0.95.8, DNS server are not taken by DHCP/PPP on WAN. So I have to manual put the DNS IP address.

        I am not seeing this here.

        Please show me:

        cat /var/etc/resolv.conf
        cat /var/etc/nameserver*

          This is if I don't set the DNS manually.

          # cat /var/etc/resolv.conf
          domain local
          
          
          # cat /var/etc/nameserver*
          85.37.17.13

            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.

                            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.

                                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.
