    Router - DNS not responding


    I just recently setup my Internet with Comcast. I am posting this from my Modem.

    Moved to a new place. Brought my router from old to new place and now Windows Network Diagnostics say
    "The DNS server is not responding"

    Router: Netgear Wireless-G Router WGR614v10

    I restored factory settings, I upgraded the firmware, I tried wired and wireless, I tried connecting to a virtualmachine (I do not have another device to test the router unfortunately).

    Hello bancosrs ,
    Welcome,
    You could try to flush the DNS and re register it via Elevated-CMD(Command prompt).
    As well At the same time try to reset the Winsocket.
    *
    In Command Prompt window, type in following commands, and hit Enter after each one:
    ipconfig /flushdns
    ipconfig /registerdns
    ipconfig /release
    ipconfig /renew
    net stop "dns client"
    net start "dns client"

    Then I would suggest to "Power cycle the Modem & Restart the computer.
