    Able to access network shares with dns relay on, but not with it off.


    ok, (as im sure this will make obvious) networking is not my forte.

    I recently ugpraded to gigabit and in the interest of figuring out some ping issues (that'll be another thread after i sort this lol) Ive discovered an issue with my network shares.

    If I have dns relay enabled in my gateway, I can access all my pc's and shares within file explorer no problamo.

    However the default (and my ideal config) is to have dns relay disabled and thus use the actual dns as opposed to the gateway.

    Problem is, doing so stops me from being able to access my pc's shares. The master browser can still see the other pcs ala name in file explorer, but cant access them.

    If i manually enter the IP, i can access them just fine. Same with ping. Ping the PC name, no bueno. Ping the IP address, no problamo!

    Anyone much more versed than me able to help me address this? Im sure it HAS to be something simple. Otherwise im stuck turning on dns relay.

    :)

    Not able to connect to microsoft servers

    Try a different DNS server service. One of the early indications of problems with domestic ISP routers is problems with its DNS relay function. In most cases the PC uses the router as a DNS Server but it actually relays the request to your ISP's preferred
    DNS.

    Right click the network connection Icon in the taskbar and select Open Network and Sharing centre.

    Select Change adapter settings, top left. Right click your active network interface and select Properties.

    Scroll down Internet Protocol Version 4. Double click to show its properties.

    Change the button and set a fixed DNS, Your ISP runs one but Google have fast ones at 8.8.4.4 and 8.8.8.8

    OK twice to save the changes and see if it improves.

    Connected but no internet - DNS issue?

    My computer is able to connect to wi-fi but without any internet access. There was some very slow access initially (no more than 2 mbps), but it gradually dropped off until it hit 0. My other devices are able to connect to this wi-fi network with no problem,
    and the computer in question has been able to connect to other networks without issue in the past. The network troubleshooter doesn't provide a consistent error message, but it seems to be related to DNS.
