      Hi everyone,

      First of all, I must recognice that this is my first pfsense installation.

      I have 2 pfsense 2.3.3 sincroniced with virtual ip, 1 LAN and 1 WAN.
      OpenVPN working.
      LAN client work perfect with DHCP.

      the problem it in the pfsense VM inself.
      When I ping to 8.8.8.8 all perfect but if I try to ping to for example www.nba.com it do nothing. It says:
      ping: cannot resolve www.nba.com: Host name lookup failure

      Problem it's that I need to install the xen tools, and pkg is not working, I thing that it's for the same reason, but I cant find the problem.

      Can anyone please help me?

        @fallout20xx:

        ping: cannot resolve www.nba.com: Host name lookup failure

        This means you have to setup a DNS server for pfSense to resolve www.example.com to an IP.
