Cannt load Microsoft.com sites

Good day/night everyone

I have pfsense running on my network (2.0 release) and I notice i'm unable to load any micrsoft.com based sites like support.microsoft.com/kb/314882

is there any reason this may be?

Thank you for reading

It's a feature, you shouldn't go there. ;)

Usually that's #2 or #3 here.

Thanks for replying.

I did the ping MTU test (works great at 1472(1500))
the subnet mask seems fine

What I noticed is that when I ping Microsoft.com it does not resolve (cannot find it)
nslookup gives me 2 207.x.x.x IP's for MSFT (which is right)

I'm not sure why i'm unable to ping, even directly, those IP or even visit the websites based at MSFT

Can I be assured this is not PFsense? Can anyone test this?

Hm, yeah DNS not resolving wouldn't be anything listed on that page I linked. What are your LAN systems using for their DNS server?

UPDATE:

seems as if there is something wrong with the PC itself and not Pfsense.

Tried another computer and it work. At the time I did not have another pc to try.

Ah, that sounds like malware possibly blocking microsoft.com to prevent updates, etc. from functioning, definitely not firewall related.

Yes, Seems so. I'm installing AVG with the network license we purchased. It's a 2003 server that that I was using to test the pfsense. Dont know why they ran that old os on it, but they usually have good reasons ;)
