      I've got a brand new pfSesne install for testing but I can't get the server machine to resolve Domain Names.  I can ping an IP from the web utility but not the Domain Name.

      I've tried valid DNS entries but nothing works.  Do I need to enable a firewall rule?

      The WAN interface has DHCP enabled and other machines on the same subnet as pfSesne get out just fine.

        What DNS servers did you set?
        Did you enable the "Allow DNS server list to be overridden by DHCP/PPP on WAN" checkbox?

        We do what we must, because we can.
