                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 ??
