    Laptop connecting to internet but no internet access (DNS server)


    My laptop connects to the local network, but it has no internet access.
    If I run troubleshooting it says that the DNS server isn't responding.
    It is not the internets fault, because my room mate net works fine. It's not the cables fault because I tried plugging it in both of my routers and in both of my room mates, using his cable. And it doesn't work.
    Wifi works fine elsewhere, but I don't have a wifi router in my dorm.
    Things that I've tried:
    Flushing my DNS
    Adding custom DNS ports, like Googles or OpenDNS
    Resetting the laptop to previous restore points
    Using winsock reset
    Disabling/enabling the network
    Disabling Avast

    I've changed nothing on my computer. The net worked fine on tuesday in my dorm. I went home and it worked fine there. Yesterday I came back to my dorm and it just stopped.

    Try typing 74.125.21.102 in a browser window to see if you can reach Google. Check your roommates DSN settings and see if he is using the same DNS servers.
