      the acl tab is blank:
      ServicesDNS ResolverAccess Lists
      General Settings
      Advanced Settings
      Access Lists
      Access Lists to Control Access to the DNS Resolver

      i don't know what pfblocker is.
      i didn't intentionally do any dns redirect.
      my nslookup:
      C:\WINDOWS\system32>nslookup
      Default Server: UnKnown
      Address: 2001:558:feed::1

      how do i set what DNS i am pointing to?

        You said it yourself : your fist post :

        @yodar44 said in DNS server not responding:

        DNS Servers . . . . . . . . . . . : 10.100.1.1

        and just above :

        @yodar44 said in DNS server not responding:

        Address: 2001:558:feed::1

        which is ok for me .... I see the same "IPv6" address :
        5b3beecc-3a09-4a66-b264-9ff308a47d99-image.png

        Your OPT1 interface and for that matter pfSense is handling / has been set up to handle IPv6 ?
        edit : use

        ipconfig /all
        

        to see all the network details of your PC.

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

          Via your dhcp.. Or directly on your client... What your pointing to there is a IPv6 address for Xfiniity dns..

          And that should resolve to
          cdns01.comcast.net.

            this is my ipconfig/all

            the only difference between the LAN and OPT is the .1 on OPT vs .10 on LAN

            is that significant?

              Well your client there has an IPv6 address... So yeah it perfers IPv6... Which in your setup is pretty hosed since now your asking comcast dns vs your own local dns..

              I would suggest you disable IPv6 until such time that you can even get IPv4 working.

                  The easy way on windows, from an elevated cmd prompt

                  reg add hklm\system\currentcontrolset\services\tcpip6\parameters /v DisabledComponents /t REG_DWORD /d 255
                  

                  Reboot

                  To put it back exactly how it was before

                  reg delete hklm\system\currentcontrolset\services\tcpip6\parameters\ /v DisabledComponents /f
                  

                  reboot.

                    ok, now ipconfig/all says
                    Ethernet adapter Ethernet:

                    Connection-specific DNS Suffix . : localdomain
                    Description . . . . . . . . . . . : Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller

                    Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 10.100.1.1
                    DHCP Server . . . . . . . . . . . : 10.100.1.1
                    DNS Servers . . . . . . . . . . . : 10.100.1.1
                    NetBIOS over Tcpip. . . . . . . . : Enabled

                    but nslookup still says
                    C:\WINDOWS\system32>nslookup
                    DNS request timed out.
                    timeout was 2 seconds.
                    Default Server: UnKnown
                    Address: 10.100.1.1

                    so it seems that something in the pfsense settings is causing the problem. ??

                      There is nothing in the settings you showed that is odd.. Is it running?

                      Do you even have connectivity to pfsense? Why is your dhcp lease so short? And such an time?

                      Up the logging level in the unbound/advanced to atleast 3... And enable logging of queries..

                      In your options box at the bottom of unbound

                      server:
                      log-queries: yes
                      log-replies: yes
                      

                      And then we can see what is going on... I don't even think your talking to the pfsense Because your getting timeouts.. So unbound is not running, or you can not talk to it... You have no rules in the floating tab?

                        is what running?

                        Do you even have connectivity to pfsense?
                        i can login to 10.100.1.1, if that is what you mean.

                        i looked in Status/System Logs/Settings, and i don't see these options.
                        where should i be looking?

                          That is not where I said to look... I am really starting to think you are just trolling us..

                          I clearly stated unbound / advanced..

                          settings.jpg
                          Which you see
                          unboundadvanced.jpg

                          Are you not seeing the options box?

                            ok, i didn't understand where to look.

                            but now i have new problem. the sg-1100 seems to have failed. i t seems to be completely dead. the pwr light comes on but none of the ports do anything. i tried connecting to the console via putty, no response. also it doesn't get warm any more.
                            i emailed support to see what to do.
