Need help. I think it's a DNS problem!
 

Morning,

I have 2 pc's running from home. For some reason one of them has decided it can no longer connect to the internet? I can access the router settings from that pc, so I know the problem is not the connection to the router. And my other pc connects to the net with no problems through the same router.

I've checked everything I can think of and can't see what the problem could be?

The error is a dns fail?

Any ideas?

Thanks

If 1 can connect its hardly the DNS. Try disable your firewall m8.

Firewall is disabled.

This is the error I get

Go to command and do a dns flush

ipconfig/flushdns

Or check the option on archive, browsing offline.


Tried reboot?

Unfortunately that didn't work :(

Jack, try this.. Clear your cache/cookies/history...Try going to http://google.com in your browser, if it doesn't load then open up command prompt(start->run->cmd) and try pinging google's ip directly...(ping 74.125.67.100) If you receive a reply chances are your isp is having DNS problems.Verizon FiOS was giving me dns problems for awhile so I ended up changing my DNS settings to 4.2.2.1 and 4.2.2.2 (depending on your router, it should be simple to change in the router menu)

Hope that helps...

Thanks. I'll give that a try later as I'm away from that PC now! I'll let you know if that works. I was thinking of changing my dns settings to openDNS.

Flush DNS
reboot

Tried all of the above without success :(

Can't ping google or any net addresses. I can connect to the router from the problem pc, so I can rule out network card or cable.

I can connect to internet through that same router on a different pc. So not a router problem.

I flushed dns, released dns & re entered dns settings.

Basically tried everything I could think of, but no joy at all :(

Finally fixed it. Just needed to unistalled service pack 3! What a nightare that was.
