          On pfSense, DNS Lookup can't resolve 10.3.3.3

          Um... what are you expecting that to 'resolve' to? It's a private IP address. Or do you mean resolve from?

          Looks like it is responding in the lookup results for dns.google.com.

          What error does the client report if you try to ping google.com?

            From the PC (connected to pfSense LAN) I can ping only the pfSense LAN IP. No packets are returned when pinging google.com, 8.8.4.4 or the ISP router (10.3.3.3).

            From the pfSense diagnostic menu, I can successfully ping google.com, 8.8.4.4, the ISP router (10.3.3.3). However pinging the LAN PC (192.168.1.100) returns no packets.

            I can't claim to understand what the DNS lookup results mean! Or why the LAN PC has no Internet access.

              You wrote this in your second post:
              @seamus said in New ISP issues:

              Traceroute from my PC on LAN completed with no problems - 9 hops to reach 8.8.4.4 and no times over 6ms. Pinging 8.8.4.4 also report no lost packets.

              And this in your last:

              Now what??
              Can you ping the IP? If so can you ping dns.google.com?

              It's hard to analyze a problem, when you provide contradictory information.

                Yes, that statement is what made it look like a DNS issue initially but if that's no longer the case then look at the firewall rules on LAN and the outbound NAT rules.

                  You may have a point viragomann, I don’t understand it myself. So I have just run through the setup wizard again on pfSense and I’ve done some more testing. This is what I’m getting.

                  Ping from PC (192.168.1.100) to pfSense LAN (192.168.1.1) is successful – 0% loss
                  Pinging PC (192.168.1.100) from pfSense fails – 100% loss
                  Is this abnormal?
                  I’ve also done a Traceroute from PC and I’ll add the results presently. I can’t say I understand what the results mean!

                      Turn off firewall /allow icmp echo replies to your pc.
                      trace says connectivity to the Internet is ok
                      No issues in both statements.

                        Yeah seems OK so that starts to look like a DNS issue again. I assume DNS is failing on the client still?
