DNS failing!

Hey guys, I am currently using my phone for internet as when I came home from school today, I switched on my PC and opened chrome. As soon as it tried to load the homepage (which for me is Google) it said "wep page unavailable".

To cut to the chase, I couldn't access the internet because I couldn't connect to the DNS server. So ai tried several that I had found online and also made it automatic and nothing good has happened yet.

My question is can you help me? I need my PC back!

I think you need a certain DNS, and you get that from the ISP itself, go to the ISP's site and you should find their DNS IP's, use those, and only those.

 

Spoiler

Case Bitfenix Ghost, Mobo Asus Maximus VIII Ranger, CPU i7 6700K @4.2 Ghz cooled by Arctic cooling Freezer i30, (barely). GPU Nvidia GTX 970 Gigabyte G1 @1519Mhz core, RAM 16Gb Crucial Ballistix CL16 @2400Mhz. SSD 128GB Sandisk Ultra Plus as my OS drive. HDD's  1TB  Seagate ST31000524AS its OEM, 3TB Seagate Barracuda, 2x 500GB WDC Blue (RAID 0)

If it isn't working absolutely perfectly, according to all your assumptions, it is broken.

Not sure if it sounds like a DNS server issue. Yesterday I was having a DNS issue. It took me about 30 seconds to get on any website but once I was on I could click on any link in it as long as it led to part of the same website.

You can try to run multiple dns queries to other DNS services to see if that's your issue.

 

In cmd

 

nslookup somewebsite.com <ip of dns server>

 

Ex:

nslookup google.com 8.8.8.8

I'd try with various DNS providers see if you are getting responses or timeouts etc.

Google - 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4

OpenDNS - 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220

Comodo - 8.26.56.26 and 8.20.247.20

 

I'd also check any router/firewall settings if you are filtering anything on port 53 without realizing it.

If his 'DNS' is messed up he won't be able to ping google....

 

Tehmiik- put http://64.233.160.105 into your web browser and see if you can pull it up.

I typed in that IP and got Google!

Apart from that, nothing's coming up. Maybe I need to re-install Windows.

Dude if you typed in the IP address and got to google it's clearly a DNS issue.

 

 Statically assign yourself an ip address, default gateway, subnet mask, and DNS servers.

 

It's as simple as that.

 

Or not. Get network information via. DHCP and statically set DNS to Googles.
