      What does an ipconfig /all show from a command prompt ?

      Also from the firewall does google.com resolve via Diagnostics -> DNS Lookup ?

              Are you configuring the W7 PC IP addresses manually ?

              Where's the IPv4 DNS Server.

                  I'm talking about the w7 PC not pfsense.

                      How does the PC know were to go to resolve DNS addresses.

                      Yes if you manually configure an IP address on a host you also need to configure the IP of the DNS Server.

                          Not a w7 problem. Every OS on the planet asked for the same info
                          Without a DNS things go bad.

                          No "help me" PM's please. Use the forum, the community will thank you.
                          Edit : and where are the logs ??
