I keep on getting a DNS problem at least 3 times a day. I dont think its my router because it doesn't happen to any other computer in the house. It says my DNS is unable to resolve the IP address any ideas. I've got a compaq c751nr.


Heres the specs

This again, is where you are taking my argument and calling it false, yet you have completely missed what I'm saying, so much so that I have said "1+1=2" and your reply is "no, because I'm an owl".

open command prompt and type "ipconfig /all" to check what your DNS server is set to

Need to know the number
Dont worry, you're not giving out your public IP

Your DNS should be set to either your routers IP (192.168.1.1 is a common choice along with 192.168.0.1 or 10.0.1.1) or a DNS server run by your ISP (which will have a public IP address)

Its not the same as my IP if that makes a difference. It is 192.168.0.1 its the same as my default gate way and my DHCP server.

That's what it should be
Do you get dns problems on the same sites or random ones?

Very strange
I suppose you could manually change your DNS to a public DNS server
Your ISP will have one which your router fords requests to, if you can find out the DNS server your router uses (probably in the webUI somewhere) and change your DNS server to that

ipconfig/dnsflush.


I always get that backwords icon_sad.gif

regardless, when it happens just try that and it should clear the problem up, if it happens a lot then I'd worry.

The only time I'd think this problem would happen is if you disconnect your cable, reconnect it to another device for a while (long enough for something to change DNS-wise) then reconnect it without rebooting or /release; /renew or /flushdns. Or, it coulda happened with a router/modem reboot while your computer was on.

Regardless, if it happens a lot, then I'd say there is something wrong either in your NIC, your ISP, or your router... but that's pure speculation.
