Hi , i'm having DNS errors , I tried flushing the dns and change to another dns. Still didn't make a different. Would it be best to call up my isp ? As having issues on xbox and I can't view certain websites.

Is it just connection issues? When was the last time your internet worked? Usually re flushing my DNS from command prompt solves that issue. But once in awhile I forget to pay my bills and my DNS says it's down but in actuality its my ISP just blocking it. To be safe I'd just call ISP is my answer if you have already flushed and reset your router.

Funny you say that, my DNS actually just had an interruption as soon as I replied to this thread. What a coincidence

What is your DNS pointing at the moment?

CMD > ipconfig /all - tell me the current DNS server. Probably 8.8.8.8 // 8.8.4.4 - Most ISP use Google which is the listed DNS entry.

Is this happening across every device on the network?

Have you got any network equipment onsite such as an access point which may be trying to handle DNS? May be worth factory resetting the router. As stated speak to ISP first.

Kind of late on the topic, so it may have been an ISP issue. Was that the case? Or was it just your DNS being blocked by your ISP or the like? Just curious. I am currently using the cloudflare DNS and it is actually a lot faster than Google if you want to try using that.

Yeah I moved my network on to it, and I noticed a huge difference!

The DNS servers are different in cmd and my modem router login page ? Sorry I haven't been able to contact my isp yet as been very busy. The DNS is my isp one.

Provide a screenshot of CMD.

CMD > ipconfig /all > DNS Servers:

Example of my DNS:

[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

Your DNS should be pulled from your DNS server which you'll probably find your router hosts unless you have a server etc...

If they are different, go into
1. CMD > ipconfig /renew
2. Close CMD
3. CMD > Ipconfig /all

Any difference?
