Sorry if it sounds silly, but have you made sure that:

1)      There are no firewalls blocking you and

2)      Named is running on the PF box

Also, make sure that the config is set to run DNS, it is in the config tab -> 
services in the webUI.

Subject: [Packetfence-users] Unable to access captive portal from registration 
vlan

Hi,

I am stuck in the registration vlan 2. When my client connects it gets moved to 
registration network and obtains a DHCP IP 192.168.2.10 with DNS server 
192.168.2.1 (PF Server).
I then open a Chrome browser and type in www.google.com<http://www.google.com>. 
As I understand it, PF should be running it's own DNS server on this VLAN which 
will intercept the request and redirect to a registration page. But for me, all 
that happens is the page times out saying unable to resolve the URL.

Does the PF installation automatically setup a DNS server or do I have to do 
this manually? Also what is the URL it should be redirecting clients to for the 
registration page?

Thanks

Adrian
