The last couple times I tried t1n1wall 2.11 I was unable to get DNS to work. I saw you had made some changes so I tried it again, but the same problem. I can ping by ip address but not by name. I am using the same settings which worked with smallwall. I checked all the settings but found nothing wrong. I tried turning off QOS and I was surprised when everything started working. I tested several times - turn it on and DNS quits workings, turn it off and everything okay. I used the Magic Shaper Wizard (same as I did in smallwall) to generate the rules, then rebooted the firewall, but it doesn't work with QOS turned on. Thanks for looking into this.
