did you try re-installing pfSense to clean out any stuff that the bad
packages may have left behind?

INSTALL
Sorry for the delay... got around to re-installing pfsense. I selected the stable 32 bit version and installed it on a supermicro atom machine. Assigned the WAN and LAN interfaces. The WAN interface goes through a vonage box (home network) and gets a static IP. The LAN interface does DHCP. Assigned 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 as DNS servers (google) in the general setup. The default gateway is also set.

PING
I can ONLY ping an ip - no name resolution - out of the network from a machine on the LAN. Pinging yahoo.com from within the pf GUI works both from the LAN and WAN side. Played around with the DNS stuff (only have the DNS forwarding enabled).

LOGS
There is nothing in the the firewall logs - and only the default rules are in effect. And I CAN get out to the net, it's just the name resolution is not there.

ODD
What's odd is that the ping GUI says there is no problem and the update status on the main login page...forget what it's called - does NOT see the Internet. And ofcourse there are no available packages listed.
