DNS SERVER

[Hunter343]

my dns server is wack everytime i turn on my laptop i have to go to cmd type in the commands to fix it and then start browsing

i mean i know how to fix it but when i have to do it every time i turn on my laptop it becomes a nuisance and a real time waster 

if anyone knows how to fix this please help

P.S

even if its on sleep or i close the laptop when i turn it back on i have to fix it again

Do you mean the IP is wrong or does it just stop resolving url's?

If resolving is an issue, just set your DNS servers to 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 respectively, this way you'll just ignore your ISP's DNS. If it's an IP problem like samcool mentioned, DHCP is your issue.

In the network & sharing center, you can go to adapter properties for your (assuming) wi-fi card. Double click the wifi connection, go to properties, internet protocol v4, properties. Then check the radio button for custom DNS server addresses and input 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4. Click ok twice and close the window. DNS is now set. A DHCP issue isn't as easy to fix. Could be as simple as an outdated driver or a crappy generic Microsoft driver for the wifi card, though.
