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 PROBE FINISHED NO INTERNET

I have had 4 conversations with Microsoft and tried above without luck. Since I don't understand what they were doing when they were working remotely on my computer, I cannot explain what they did. I know they did something with "resetlog, netsh int ip
reset and winsock". All without success. The long wait (3-5) hours to reach someone is a reality. My last contact was ended when the "DNS PROBE FINISH ..." appeared and I lost contact. I regret that no one has contacted me to see if the problem is resolved.
The alternative is to get back in the 3-5 hour lineup!

Clearing browser history, download, cookies, cach seems to work temporarily. Time will tell. I have also notice more people having the problem when I do a google search. My computer guy indicates I should wait awhile to see if Microsoft figures out there
is a problem and then updates the program. The more that complain the faster the fix.

I asked about reverting to Windows 8 and he said no that at some point in the future 8 will no longer be supported. Microsoft indicates I must make that decision within 30 days or the previous version will be removed from my computer.

Good luck
