        Go to your gui / Diagnostics/ DNS lookup

        diag_dns.php

        Enter mailbeez.com there and see what you get.

                  The route from you to them is probably broken somewhere along the way. 
                  Lets see.

                  run this command from linux terminal

                  mtr -c 25 –report -n mailbeez.com

                  (If you don't have linux handy, you can go to packages and install mtr-nox11, then go into the shell and run that command.  Hopefully we will see where things are broken.)

                  Edit:  You can also run that command from diagnostics > mtr in the pfsense web gui.  (after you install the package)

                  then just drop in mailbeez.com in the top blank and 25 in the count blank then run and wait for results.

                      lol read my mind was running mtr as you edited that

                      I didn't want to physically move so I used winmtr

                      not to interesting results

                      However check this out I drew up a diagram real quick
                      it seems that when my staticly assigned IP is my GW connected to my pfsense box I cannot access the site. However with my PC connected direct to the modem with the same static IP and GW information it works fine.

                      Just for the hell of it I threw in a residential modem with a publicly assigned dynamic IP from ISP and hooked that up to my pfsense box.... Guess what works fine

                      The mtr results on the residential modem with a publicly assigned dynamic IP
                      Same results more or less

                      diagram attached does not have the PC connected to the modem and the firewall with the same static I drew that to show that it works direct to modem with IP in NIC and same IP in pfsense wouldnt let me go to that one damn site.

                        Thanks for all your help I am going to get with the other engineers to take a look at this one… I guess some advice to take away from this is to stay away from the SBG6580 formerly Motorola now owned by Arris apparently it has issues with pfsense.

                          OK - So, you have this modem…

                          And with pfsense, you are using static IP but on the same modem with different router you are using dynamic IP?

                          And dynamic IP assignment works?

                            And dynamic IP assignment works?

                            Talking about 2 separate modems now…

                            The static modem is in straight static no double NAT or anything.

                            The modem I just tried is a different model and is dynamic bridge and gets a public dynamic IP

                            The static IP works going to mailbeez.com only when I connect to SOHO router or direct to PC with same static IP and modem ..

                            BUT  when I use it with pfsense with the same static IP no mailbeez.com...

                            so static modem-->pfsense -->pc = no mailbeez.com

                            I have multiple modems I work for the ISP and have multiple test accounts

                            so I used a different model modem with no static IP with pfsense and I can navigate to mailbeez.com

                            Different model modem dynamic IP--> Pfsense--> PC = I CAN navigate to mailbeez.com

                            Literally makes 0 sense but...

                            I at this point I think it has to do with the model modem more than it being the static IP vs public dynamic difference.

                            What messed with me is that direct to the same static modem it worked no problem... Hence why I thought it was a pfsense issue and not ISP or model modem..

                            so assumption of the issue is some sort of incompatibility between this model modem and pfsense at this point.

                              Sounds like you have a bit of testing on your hands.  Enjoy.
