  2. Windows 10 - NIC, DNS, Interent Access Problem

    ANSWER

    Folks,

    • when you cannot connect to the network consistently
    • when going to www.bing.com doesn't work and can't resolve (DNS error)
    • when you Reset Windows 10 Pro
    • when you Reset the network interfaces (netsh, etc)
    • when you Re-Install Windows from scratch
    • when you install the NIC drivers
    don't be dumb like me. Just get another network card like I finally did. The network card was bad on the motherboard. I installed a new network card, turned it on, and the network and Internet worked flawlessly. Granted, NICs don't normally go bad.
    But when they do you can really go round and round.

    Thanks for all the great suggestions.

    DNS Servers

    I run a DNS server locally, so when a domain is already cached, I get it back almost instantly, otherwise it responds as fast as the first server in my list (75.75.75.75 in my case.)

    DNS SERVER NOT RESONDING

    Hi Rita French,

    This issue often occurs when the DNS settings are incorrect. I suggest you to perform the following methods to troubleshoot the issue.

    Method 1:

    I would recommend you to change the Preferred DNS server and check if it helps.

    • Press Windows + R keys to open Run window, type
      ncpa.cpl and press Enter.
    • Right-click on the connection that you use for the local connection, and then click
      Properties.
    • Click to select Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4), and then click
      Properties.
    • In the Internet Protocol window, let's change the Preferred DNS server to
      208.67.222.222
    • Click OK twice to complete the modification.

    Note: If the issue persists, please repeat the steps and change the "Preferred DNS server" to 208.67.220.220.

    Method 2:

    If that does not help, try to flush the DNS. Follow these steps below.

    • From Start screen, type Command Prompt.
    • Right-click on Command Prompt and choose Run as Administrator.
    • Type: ipconfig /flushdns and press Enter.

    Note: The ipconfig /flushdns command provides you with a means to flush and reset the contents of the DNS client resolver cache. During DNS troubleshooting, if necessary, you can use this procedure to discard negative cache entries from the cache, as well
    as, any other dynamically added entries.

    Hope any of these methods help!

    Kind regards,

    Leon
