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.

 

DNS Client

Log Name: System

Source: Microsoft-Windows-DNS-Client

Date: 16-04-2020 15:47:58

Event ID: 8020

Task Category: (1028)

Level: Warning

Keywords:

User: NETWORK SERVICE

Computer: Hostname

Description:

The system failed to register host (A or AAAA) resource records (RRs) for network adapter

with settings:

Adapter Name : {XXXXXXXXXXX}

Host Name : Hostname

Primary Domain Suffix : Domain

DNS server list :

10.10.10.10

Sent update to server : <?>

IP Address(es) :

10.10.10.11

The reason the system could not register these RRs during the update request was because of a system problem. You can manually retry DNS registration of the network adapter and its settings by typing 'ipconfig /registerdns' at the command prompt. If problems
still persist, contact your DNS server or network systems administrator. See event details for specific error code information.

System is not registering its A Record in DNS Zone. Above log generated post running ipconfig /registerdns.

System is connected over VPN.

 

Teacher with No/Intermittent Internet Access

My suggestions:

Hard reset router (reset button may be hiiden inside a pinhole)

Change DNS:

Change IPv4 and IPv6 DNS Server Address in Windows

Use one from the list "Item 7. To Use Custom or Third-party DNS Server Address"

Run WifiInfoView and change router channel if nearby routers are detected on nearby channels.




Log into router and change channel if needed:





Run Wireless Wizard and update network profiles then "Test & Fix"
