I can ping internet IPs, like 8.8.8.8 or 1.1.1.1 but no name resolution.
Pfsence 2.7.0. I have 4 networks, all running normally. Just added this new network: Interface added and enabled, IP given to it, assigned to lan network em0 port (same as others that are working), enabled DHCP on the interface, created simple firewall rules to allow traffic (same as others that are working). Then I joined the network, and got an IP. I can ping internet IPs like 1.1.1.1 no problem. but pings to domain names like google.com fail.
Whats the best steps for troubleshooting? This is what I see for this network under system logs / firewall…
did you configure/enable DNS Resolver?
yes, DNS resolver is enabled
since you did not post any screens, In DNS Resolver,
Network Interfaces ALL,
Outgoing ALL,
dnssec checked, and
the last 3 checked.
and DNS resolver is running.
Still, you cannot ping google.com ?
Hi pnye
I can ping google tld cause on my dns config on pfsense on my general setup where dns is configure i add 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4
Ping
Can you try and reconfigure. system-general setup and see if your dns is configured
Yes to all the settings except the last 3 were not checked. I checked them but still no ping to google.com
I can ping google.com or anydomain.com from the other networks without an issue, except when Im connected to the network GGCA-Seniors
Are you using ping from the pfsense diagnosis ping page? and when you say other networks, how you pinging google from this networks?
No Im pinging from a device connected by wifi to any of the other networks.
I am testing dns by either opening a website on a browser or using the Net Analyzer app
If you are saying that three networks are fine and the 4th isn’t resolving then it’s a config problem, just compare with the network that is resolving.
let’s say your pfsense is 10.0.0.1 and DNS is 1.1.1.1 (pfsense basic setup). Two LANs defined, primary 10.0.0.0/24 and seniors 10.0.20.0/24 DHCP configured for both LAN offering ip from .100-.200. DNS resolver running.
connect a laptop to the primary lan, it gets 10.0.0.100 and dns is 10.0.0.1
It pings by name
connect the laptop to the seniors lan, it gets 10.0.20.100 and dns is 1.1.1.1
It does not ping by name.
Is this right?
Yes, that is correct
