      Hy all

      i have 2 pfsense firewalls with following configuration:

      WAN: PPTP Tunnel with fixed IP Address
      LAN: 192.168.x.x/24 Network

      NAT

      since i've put the PPTP-Connection into WAN-Setup, the boxes stopped resolving DNS.
      i can use the same Namesevers as i put into System->General Setup behind the walls (fixed entry in the windows client) and i can resolve DNS.

      if i set WAN to static IP Address the walls can resolve again.

      do u know this problem? can u help me?

          Did you set any DNS servers on the pfSense?
          Are you allowing the manual entries to be overridden by DHCP on WAN?
