Wan okay no lan

techy82

Hi

I am running pfsense on a esxi server which was working fine before a house move

I have two separate lan and wan interfaces assigned in esxi

I have assigned wan and wan to the correct interfaces based on the Mac address

Wan shows my cable modem IP no problem

But lan just shows lan (lan) >em1 >

And no IP

I have tried assigning it a interface IP without any luck

Any ideas

Thanks very much

Thanks managed to get it working not sure what was going on

I am having issues connecting to my pc locally using its host name, however it works by ip any idea what could be stopping it resolving hostnames

Thanks very much

Like from another PC in the subnet?

Are you using pfSense for DHCP and DNS? Make sure you have set Register DHCP leases in the DNS Resolver in the DNS settings if so.

yes from the same subnet and the register dhcp option was also ticked, the only way i could get it working was to use the DNS Forwarder and at 127.0.0.1 as the 1st dns entry followed by an external dns entry?
