      I am using dns resolver to resolve dns and have set it to register dhcp and static mappings

      I have pia applying to only a few devices and under dhcp have static mappings pointing to these devices

      If I ping the hostname of my computer via pfsense it resolves okay however if I ping or try to browse to the computer from another device it fails

      Any idea? Thanks very much

        It's only affecting the one client which uses static mappings and has two public dns entries how can I get it to see my local dns so hostnames work

          I changed to dns forwarder and the client still wouldn't resolve until I added the loop back ip then a dns server

          Any idea why?

            @techy82 said in Dns hostname issue:

            has two public dns entries

            Why ?
            DHCP would set a good DNS just fine.

            edit :
            Rip out all network cables on y device on LAN.
            Put them in one by one.
            The DHCP server log on pfSense logs the incoming DHCP lease request ? IP Ok ?
            Have a look at the /etc/hosts file.

            Say away from the Forwarder for the moment. That one can introduce a new boat load of DNS issues.

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