Windows 10: DNS servers can't be found in Opera & Chrome

Hello,
I'm having an odd issue. When I attempted to visit a site I go to frequently, in Google Chrome and in Opera I get a message that the DNS server can't be found. I cleared the browser cache in Chrome, closed it, and reopened it. This didn't help. I can reach the site with Firefox and Edge.

I can also reach the site with my iPad, using the Safari browser.

Any ideas?

:)

 

Unable to connect to internet on browsers except for Microsoft Edge on Windows 10 computer.

Hi Likhitha,

Thank you very much. Below is Firefox error message:

Server not found
Firefox can't find the server at my.screenname.aol.com.

Check the address for typing errors such as ww.example.com instead of www.example.com

If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network connection.

If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.

Below is the error message for Opera:

This webpage is not available
Unable to look up accounts.google.com.

Below is the Chrome Error message:

This site can’t be reached
mail.google.com’s server DNS address could not be found.

DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN

NB: Every other application is not working, only Edge and Skype.

Thank you very much.

 

Can't access any websites

It says I have internet connection but when I enter a website it says:

This site can't be reached

's server DNS address could not be found

Try running Windows Network Diagnostics.

DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN

From chrome but the internet now working on edge. I have tried to change to Google's DNS server and I got my internet for one second but then it got back to that message.

Tried to run full scan on both avast and Windows Defender and they didn't caught anything.

 

Never mind, I hit reload a few times and the problems seem to have fixed themselves. *Confused

 

Well, I'm having this problem again. It's only with the Opera and Chrome browsers on my Windows 10 laptop. The sites are both accessible from Opera and Chrome on my Windows 10 netbook. Both are on the same network behind a router. The laptop is running ESET Smart Security. The netbook is running Windows Defender with a trial version of Malwarebytes AntiExploit. If it comes to ESET being the problem, this issue isn't worth disabling my firewall, as the site is available through Firefox and Edge on the laptop. I'm just wondering what the problem might be.

 

And maybe asking the question here is the magic solution because, once again, I refresh the page and the site is available. Can anyone shed some light on what might cause a DNS error message on only 2 browsers and on only one Windows device on the same network?
