      Add a rule, which you can delete later on the Lan to allow any to any.  See what happens.

        I created a new LAN rule to allow any to any and put it just under the anti-lockout rule. No difference.

          "I currently have Cisco/openDNS"

          Could you try resolver and see if it works?

            Sorry, what do you mean try resolver? DNS resolver is enable on the fw if that's what you mean?

              I'm confused now…  I though you were using an external Cisco/openDNS for DNS?

                Sorry I should have explained better. When I set up the fw I put openDNS server IPs into the DNS server under the general setup. 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220, both of which I am able to ping.

                I have also tried replacing with google DNS IPs and enabling the over ride with DHCP/PPP on WAN.

                All with no luck.

                  Yes - But in your services TAB…

                  Do you have resolver or forwarder activated?

                      If you are trying to get your DNS served from another place, turn off resolver and turn on forwarder.

                        Thanks. I have tried that to no avail. I'll have to keep looking tomorrow and try to work out what has changed over the weekend.
