Solved DNS Server isn't Responding. Help?!

[Skatergirl]

So I've been using this network for weeks now, and all of a sudden I can't connect to the Internet. No one changed anything, so why is this happening? The Internet works fine on my friend's computer.
I tried troubleshooting and it just says DNS server isn't responding.
I don't know how to fix that.
The password for the network is already in.
Thanks!

there is so much info that you aren't giving, that clairvoyance would be required, and you allready started this topic elsewhere...

 

[Skatergirl]

What kind of info do you need?
Sorry I asked this question in my reply to my other post, but no one looked at it again, so I figured everyone guessed it was solved, so I made a new thread. Also this is a totally different question, so I did not post it twice, k?
Please... I need this fixed. It hasn't worked for a couple days now, and it's driving me crazy.

how are you connected, wired or wireless, go to network and sharing center, clik on 'change adapter settings' and give us a screenshot...

Are proxy settings enabled?

1) Under “Tools” in the browser tool bar select “Internet Options”.
2) In the “Internet Options” window that pops up, click the “Connections” tab at the top.
3) Click “LAN Settings” near the bottom of the “Connections” section.
4) If the “Proxy server” checkbox is marked with a check, click it to deselect/uncheck it.
5) Click “Ok” to close the “Local Area Network (LAN) Settings” window.
6) Click “Ok” to close the “Internet Options” window.
Reboot
Make sure "Proxy server" is still disabled under your LAN Settings.
Test whether internet connectivity is restored.

I'm using wireless. I'm on my iPod so I can't get a screenshot. I tried with photobucket anyway.
The Proxy Server was already unchecked.
Anymore ideas? Thanks for trying to help so far, really appreciate it.

Follow this - With the Ipconfig try to Upload a snip or copy out the information (if you can), this will provide what the settings are for your Computer and provide a solution

hi skatergirl
have you tried resetting the wireless router to its default settings using reset or turning it on and off and rebooting laptop? what is the model please?

 

[Skatergirl]

Don't understand what you're saying, sorry. What is the IPconfig, and how do I
Upload something from my iPod?

It is sometimes necessary to reset and clear the cache in Windows 7 when you know that DNS changes have been made but Windows 7 is still resolving a hostname to the old IP address.

To refresh the DNS, you simple need to run the ipconfig /flushdns command from the command prompt, the command prompt can be run from the Start Menu > All Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt application.

If when you run the ipconfig /flushdns command that you receive a message saying "The requested operation requires elevation" then you need to make sure that you run the Command Prompt with administrator privledges, which is as simple as right clicking on the application when you go to run it and choosing to "Run as administrator".

For more comprehensive information check out the Flush DNS - What's My DNS? page which contains more useful information as well as commands for other operating systems including Linux and Mac OS X.

The Ipconfig is a command entered in Command Prompt to display your Internet and Network Settings

This will help provide a solution

Not sure about uploading the snip on your Ipod - The tutorial Below shows how to upload something onto this Site

I just restarted the router again. It says on it Cisco Linksys E3000, if that is what you wanted?
When I restarted the router I can now connect to Skype, but nothing else. No webpages load, so I'm going to try the command prompt thing.

 

[Jacee]

You need to right click and run as Administrator

The Ipconfig will only show Information and not provide a fix

[brianzion]

here is a link for your router details on the makers website you can read up on it when you have internet access its a bit big for a portable device to read it all Linksys E3000

 

[Skatergirl]

I did all that, and still not working.
It says I have Internet access, but nothing loads. Is there something I should change in my browser?
Okay I just went into status on the network I'm connected to. It says...
IPv4 Connectivity: Internet
IPv6 Connectivity: No Internet access
Media state: Enabled

Is that any help?

 

[brianzion]

try the troubleshooter again right click the wireless/network icon in windows taskbar click troubleshoot and see what windows tells you

 

[Shadowjk]

Click Properties and then click on ;

Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) and then click Properties

Now ensure that the 'Obtain an IP Address automatically is checked'

And do the same for 'Obtain DNS Server address Automatically'

Troubleshooter said:
Problems found:
The connection between your access point, router, or cable modem and the Internet is broken.

Problem with wireless adapter or access point. Fixed.

Webpages still don't load.

 

[Shadowjk]

Please go to Device Manager and Uninstall your Network Card Driver then restart the computer

   Warning

You may need the security key that is used to connect to your Router

Click Start and type "Device Manager" then press enter

Since you are able to connect using your Ipod we can establish that this is a problem on your PC not the router

Are there any other Devices that Do not work?
