Some concern re failing system restore, but that's not a networking problem per se. Look for missing Gateway address or IP address like 169.x.y.z On any working system run IPCONFIG /ALL and compare it to the results on the failing system. Look for an updated driver for your WiFi adaptor. The router is fine so don't fuss with it anymore. My computer works with other connections, but not my home network.Ĭlick to expand.Good work. Other computers at home using the ISP's provided DNS server work. I have Microsoft Security Essentials, did a scan, nothing detected.Īlso tried System Restore to two days ago, got an error about how it failed. I restarted the modem/router multiple times, but it does nothing to alleviate the problem. Still didn't work.Īt this point, IPv6 has been disabled, but it's still not working. Then I tried ipconfig /registerdns, restarted my computer and tried again. I turned off my firewall and tried, but it still didn't work. I restarted my computer and tried again, but I still received the same errors, with P2P working like before. My next attempt to fix it was going to the cmd prompt and typing ipconfig /release then ipconfig /renew. When I reconnected to my primary network, it worked for half a second again, then stopped. I made a guest network just to try it, and I got DNS errors again. I tried the wireless internet and it still didn't work. It worked for half a second and I opened 2 webpages before it stopped and gave the DNS errors again. I reset the modem/router (it's combined, unfortunately) to factory settings and tried directly connecting with an ethernet cable again. It still failed, and nslookup gave the same "DNS request timed out." The first thing I tried was to use openDNS's DNS addresses (208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220) with my home connection. But it didn't work with my home connection. I set up another network by using my iPhone as a hotspot to make sure it wasn't an issue with all connections, and my computer could browse just fine using the iPhone hotspot. It didn't work with the wireless or the wired internet with an ethernet cable. My settings were to obtain an IP address and DNS server address automatically. All the other computers at home are working happily.
P2P works, Steam works, but Chrome/Firefox/Steam browser give me the "This webpage is not available" page, telling me that the DNS lookup failed. When I connect to the wireless network, my laptop reports that it is connected with internet access, but there is no browsing capability at all. I returned home for the holidays with my laptop running Windows 7 Enterprise 64-bit. DNS problem on one laptop, other computers on network working
