  2. dns probe finished no internet


    Hi Oxide,

    After some trial-and-error testing of all suggested fixes, which I found over the internet, here’re what worked for me to solve "DNS Probe Finished No Internet" issue and might work for you as well.

    Method 1: Change Default DNS Address to Open DNS


    Here all you have to do is change your default automatically obtained DNS server addresses to open DNS or Google DNS. To do this, follow below mentioned steps:

    Step 1:
    Right click on Network icon located in Windows Task Bar Menu.

    Step 2:
    Click on ‘Open Network and Sharing Center.’

    Step 3:
    Click on Local Area Connection with whom who are presently connected and click onProperties.

    Step 4:
    Select ‘Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)’ and click on Properties.

    Step 5:
    Now in newly opened windows, select the radio button that reads ‘Use the following DNS server address:’

    Step 6:
    Now in the ‘Preferred DNS Server’ box type in 208.67.222.222 and in ‘Alternate DNS Server’ type in 208.67.220.220.

    Step 7:
    Now check the box that says ‘Validate settings upon exit’ and then click on OK. That’s it.

  3. Ethernet connection issues, internet working

    I have an issue where my ethernet connection on my PC sometimes fails to work even though

    • all my internet home devices connected to the same connection are working perfectly
    • when I plug my wifi stick into this PC (which I used for months before I tried ethernet), it also works fine and won't come up with any issues even after I use it for months unlike my ethernet
    • my computer itself fails to detect the issue as the network is displayed as 'connected', I never get any error messages, running windows diagnostics on the connection fails to detect any problems
    I say 'sometimes' because:

    • this issue does not happen every time I start my PC
    • restarting my PC 'sometimes' fixes the issue
    • ipconfig/release, ipconfig/flushdns, ipconfig/renew 'sometimes' fixes the issue
    • reseting my network settings 'sometimes' fixes the issue (it might just be the restart though that 'fixes' it)
    More details on this issue:

    • I believe this issue may be some sort of server connection issue as:
    • the issue doesn't completely block my connection - if I wait long enough I can still google search things/ load into some webpages
    • my connection does not appear to be a speed issue - if I manage to load into youtube the youtube video loads at a normal rate, but moving between different pages in youtube takes forever
    solutions that have not worked so far:

    • deleting all my hidden/unused network adapters
    • network reset
    • using google's DNS servers
    • disabling/unchecking IPV6 to force the connection to use IPV4 (I thought it might be an IPV6 issue as my ethernet status says 'No network access' for IPV6)
    other details

    • my windows 10 is fully up to date

    Can't connect to the Internet, local connection only??

    Could just be a dead wlan card.
