PfSense internet does not work ( Need desperate help!! )
-
you said ethernet, ethernet is not the internet.. That is your local network connection, etc.. which is clearly working if you can access the pfsense webgui via IP address.
Normally yes pfsense would dns for your network, but it can be anything you want. But if your going to setup a static IP and you want that box to resolve say www.google.com then yeah needs dns.. your picture was NOTHING.. So no shit kind of hard to resolve www.google.com or www.pfsense.com or www.cnn.com, etc. etc..

Sorry about the ethernet/internet problem, I am dutch already I said…(my english is not very good)
So... I can just put anything in the DNS box? -
you can put in anything you want that is a valid nameserver that will resolve what you want.. Putting in say 8.8.8.8 (googledns) isn't going to resolve any local stuff that pfsense would know about, etc.

So …? Do I need to put in the dns box 8.8.8.8 ?
also I already tried that and still not getting internet -
So from the web gui, go to diag, dns lookup - can you look up www.google.com for example
Go to diag, ping - can you ping 8.8.8.8 ? See attached screenshots
If you can not get to the internet, how are you posting this stuff?
