      this is my ipconfig/all
      Ethernet adapter Ethernet:

      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

              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?

                  @johnpoz said in DNS server not responding:

                  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?

                    options.jpg

                      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.
