Can ping ip address but not google.com
I am working on a friend's vists 32 bit machine. I realize that if I can ping an IP, but not the we address, it is most likely a DNS issue. I have done sfc /scannow ipconfig /flushdns and tried using googles's public servers. Still can only get to google by ip.
What else can I try, short of wiping it? There are no virus, no add ons and I have reset all settings multiple times. Renamed host file, nothing. The only thing I haven't done is get into his router. IS that where the issue lies? Why would I be able to ping an IP address, but when I type google.com I get a "cannot display webpage.
