The DNS server is not responding.

Just bought this WRT160N a few days ago, I implemented and no problems now, randomly, I can't the internet to work, every once in awhile, he will work for a few minutes, then it will return new.  When I troubleshoot Windows, I have "the DNS server is not responding" * detected * this computer is located on a wired connection to my router, and is currently the only computer connected to my router.  The connection works fine when I run the cable directly from my modem to the computer (which im doing now) any help would be greatly appreciated!

To upgrade the firmware of your router, you don't need to be connected to Internet... Just connect the Modem to the computer and download the firmware on your router... Once you have downloaded the firmware on your router... Connect the Modem to the router on the Internet Port and connect the computer to the router Linksys on Port n ° 1... Follow the instructions I mentioned in my previous post, how to upgrade the firmware on your router... Once the firmware is upgraded successfully... Press and hold the button of reset for 30 seconds... Release the reset button... Unplug the power cable from your router, wait 30 seconds and reconnect the power cable... Now re - configure your router...

  • "The DNS server is not responding", but I had problems when I tried the fixed IP address. Help!

    Hello

    With some networks, all is well, connected and has internet access.  In other places, like where I am now, I can connect to a network, but I can't access the internet.  I tried the long fix recommended on the community of Miscrosoft, start by entering cmd at the beginning and then dealing with IP addresses, but I kept getting "Media disconnected" and where he would have had this connection to the Local network #, 0.0.0.0 or something else, I saw that anywhere.  He just said Local Area Connection * 12 because I remember and then was something like 00000000000000E at the bottom of the entry.  I also tried the method 2, use the control panel and the connection of LAN, but then 'properties' properties of it has not been highlighted, so I couldn't continue.  Windows 7 laptop.  Help!

    Thank you.

    Hello

    I think I have solved it!  I use your method 1 and took the link to Microsoft Support.  Then, I used their method 2 (TCP/IP configuration settings), without success.  But I just had an intuitive idea, so I tried again, but do not click on the Local network connection, I clicked on the network, I try to use, Fairpoint-etc, went in and saw that Internet Protocol Version 4 was not set to automatically obtain DNS server address.  So I chose that, hoping that I didn't just kill my computer and voila!  Internet access is here!  We'll see if it stays.

    Where it rises again if, because you asked, Yes, I am using a wireless connection and my anti-virus is Avira.  Out of curiosity, is this good antivirus, or is there something better that is also free?  Thank you very much

  • Cannot access the Wi - Fi connection with the error: "DNS server is not responding" on Windows 7

    So, recently, I installed a new router. After restarting my modem as indicated in after connecting the router to the modem, I was surprised to see that the wireless network has been renamed to (name) 2. I continued with the installation and soon found that it happened too much to the network from the router, and none of them does not seem to work. They tell me that the DNS server is not responding. for the last ive tried day every last problem I can be downloaded on the internet and nothing seems to work. pls help

    Original title: renamed networks and will not work

    Check if your modem has a built-in router.  If so, it should be disabled until your router works.  If this is a new router, contact the manufacturer of the router.  They will help you.

    It is not likely a problem on your computer.

  • The DNS server does not - wired - wireless is OK

    Hi all

    This problem has left speechless several other computer scientists, I thought I'd try this forum before making a complete reinstallation.  Here's a challenge to test your intelligence.

    Here's the situation:

    Dell laptop (11 months - still under warranty) with Wi - Fi and ability.  Originally supplied with Vista, but I installed Win7 in November.  I tried to do the clean installation method, but do not know if I managed to 'clean' approach because I thought that my data may be wiped.  He was not, he is still on the machine.  But W7 seems to work very well, I added Slowey some software.  I think I was able to communicate with a wired connection before on the machine, but now I can't be sure.  The machine communicates wireless without problem.  IE8 opens fine.  If I connect the wire and cut the antenna or boot to the wire with antenna, the machine starts and works well, but does not connect using IE8.  I get a message "the DNS server is not responding.

    The machine can ping and ping just fine on the wire.  A chat session with Dell yesterday (Citrix I think) succeeded in transferring to wire wireless when I turned off the antenna.  In addition, the MS patch notification came through this morning, but I can't download the patches on the wire.

    Here is what has been tried so far:

    1. Changed cables and ports in the router to check the status of these question: these are OK.
    2. PC directly connected to the router: same problem.
    3. Verified services running (Control Panel-Admin tools-Online Services online):
      System event COM + (for WZC issues)
      Computer browser
      DHCP client
      DNS client
      Network connections
      Network location awareness
      Remote procedure call (RPC)
      Server
      TCP/IP Netbios support
      Automatic configuration wireless (only XP wireless configurations)
      Autoconfiguration WLAN (wireless Vista only configurations) service
      Workstation
    4. Verified IPv4 is defined in order to obtain the IP address automatically.
    5. Reset IE8.  No change.
    6. Turned off the Windows Firewall.
    7. Tried to access internet using Chrome.  No go.
    8. Wired NETWORK card uninstalled and reinstalled driver.  Downloaded last at Dell, they pushed also later.  No luck.
    9. Tried the Google Open DNS.  No difference.
    10. ipconfig/flushdns
    11. TCP/IP stack repair (run as Administrator: start, all Programs\Accessories and right click on command prompt, select "run as administrator" to open a command prompt.)
      -Entries reset WINSOCK to default installation: netsh winsock reset catalog
      -Reset the battery TCP/IP IPv4 default installation. netsh int ipv4 reset reset.log
      -Reset the battery TCP/IP IPv6 default installation. netsh int ipv6 reset reset.log
    12. While in Safe Mode, disconnected wire: uninstalled the driver for the CARD.  Started full W7: installed the latest driver.
    13. In Safe Mode, the stack TCP/IP repair as described above.

    All to nothing does not.  IE does not connect to the internet.  Chrome is not connecting to the internet.

    You people have any ideas what the devil is wrong with this machine?  Can you offer any suggestions to try to get access wired for the functioning of the internet?

    Thanks in advance!

    Hello Stringout,

    I said to reset the router because the router is the DNS server and assigns the IP address to all devices on the network. Now, since you get the error "DNS server is not responding. It may possible that this router is not able to assign the correct ip address to all computers.

    You can also try to update the router with the latest firmware. Still, Microsoft!

  • IM problems with my wireless connection, it says my DNS server does not respond, what is this, can help to somone, thanks

    IM problems with my wireless connection, it says my DNS server does not respond, what is this, can help to somone, thanks

    Hello

     

    Thanks for posting the question in the Microsoft Community!

    You can't use the wireless connection and the message that the DNS server is not responding.

    The problem may occur if the computer is unable to connect to the DNS server.

    To check, I suggest you follow the steps:

    Method 1: Re-register the DNS

     

    a. Click Start. Type cmd in the search box and press ENTER.

    b. at the command prompt, type the following command and press ENTER:
    ipconfig/flushdns (there is a space between ipconfig and /)

    It will display the message properly emptied the cache of DNS resolution.

    c. at the command prompt, type the following command and press ENTER:
    ipconfig/registerdns (there is a space between ipconfig and /)

    d. at the command prompt, type the following command and press ENTER:

    ipconfig/all (there is a space between ipconfig and /)
    The command ipconfig/all command displays for all your network adapters, TCP/IP in Windows settings.

    If your IP address of your Local network connection is 0.0.0.0 or 169.x.x.x (where x is a number any), then your computer does not receive an IP address from router.
    If this is the case, try this:

    i. enough at the command prompt ipconfig and press ENTER

    II. ipconfig / renew in command prompt and press ENTER

    The test again by typing ipconfig/all to see what is the address? (If you are on a router, it should start by or 192.168.0.x or 192.168.1.x 10.x.x.x)

    Method 2:

    a. click Start and then click Control Panel.

    b. go to the networking and sharing Center and then click on change adapter settings.

    c. right-click on connection to the Local network and select Properties.

    d. Select Internet Protocol Version 6, and then click Properties.

    e. choose the DNS server to obtain an address automatically , then press Ok.

    f. Select obtain IP address automatically.

    g. Repeat steps for Internet Protocol version 4 as well.

  • I am fully connected to the Internet, but my DNS server is not responding. How can I connect otherwise?

    I am fully connected to the Internet, but when I click on my home page and even several other pages, including Windows Live Mail, I get an error message that my DNS server is not responding. How can I work around this problem and to connect to the Internet anyway?

    You want to be sure that you use the right setting for your DNS server.  You can move this in your browser using the digital URL for the what you want to access web sites.  You will find them by using the PING command at the command prompt.  Hold the Windows key and press R.  Then type CMD and press ENTER.  Then enter for example to get the address of the web site of MS PING WWW.MICROSOFT.COM.

    Unless otherwise directed by your Internet service provider, you want TCP/IP settings to "obtain an IP address automatically" and "Obtain DNS server address automatically".  To do this click Start-> Control Panel-> Network Center and sharing-> view status.

    Then click on properties.

    From there, click on Internet Version 6 Protocol and properties.

    Click on the two radio buttons to "obtain an IP address automatically" and "Obtain DNS server address automatically".  Click OK.

    Then click Internet Version 4 Protocol and make the same changes in what concerns the version 6.

    I hope this helps.  Good luck.
