IPv4 configuration not working

[Stale Sweetroll]

I've been wanting to play some games with a friend that require port forwarding, so I need to manually set my IPv4 settings. The problem is when I set to the correct Comcast DNS servers (75.75.75.75 and 75.75.76.76) 90% of web pages don't work at best, and at worst my connection is lost entirely. I even tried the Google DNS servers and it had the same issue.

It used to work just fine before I upgraded my PC, so I'm not sure if this is linked to the motherboard's Killer NIC or something else, but it's very frustrating and I'd appreciate some solutions if anyone has any.

Set your DNS to google's (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4)

and in cmd (admin) do "ipconfig /flushdns"

He has tried using Google's DNS and he has the same problem.

Try restarting the router.

This has been an ongoing issue for several months. It's actually never worked since getting the new PC. The reason I say that is because I've reset the router and flushed DNS several times - not necessarily for this issue, but still - and it hasn't seemed to help anything unfortunately

It still may be using the DNS queries from crapcast so it is worth clearing the cache

 

 

I hadn't considered that could cause an issue, so I set the DNS to google's again and flushed DNS. Unfortunately the problem still persists. Some web pages load, but most don't

Seams unrelated but reinstall the drivers, scan for malware maybe.

It seems updating the drivers did the trick. Weird, because the simple solutions rarely work for me in matters of tech support. Thanks for the suggestion, though!
