DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN - Best Fix

Thnx dear..it works

Awesome !!! Fahad, Glad to know that this helped you. Have a Great day !!!

Thanks mate it works....

Hi Arun, Amazing to know that this post fixed your issue.

Help me
The server at wordpress can't be found, because the DNS lookup failed. DNS is the network service that translates a website's name to its Internet address. This error is most often caused by having no connection to the Internet or a misconfigured network. It can also be caused by an unresponsive DNS server or a firewall preventing Torch from accessing the network.
Error code: DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN

Well I guess I'll try these things

Thanks :) it works

Thanks, Well-done!!!

Thank you so much

it says that u need atleast one IP address to change the settings now what to do ?????

Hi Mihir, Can you please let us know more about your issue? Make sure you perform all the above steps properly first.

Thanks dude its really worked

Hi Chiew kok chen and Jayesh Ellayah, Its amazing to know that this solved the problem for both of you.

Tried Method 1 but got 'The following operation requires elevation (Run as administrator) Tried Method 2 and it didn't work. Recommendations?

Hi drlislewis, Make sure you Run Command Prompt as administrator. This should help you !!!

Can you tell me how to do that?

Tried with both method but still not working on my PC.

now please tell me what i can?

IT WORKED !!!! Thank you so much !!!!

drlislewis, to open command prompt as administrator, you need to click Windows + X, Then click on Command Prompt (Admin).

I hope this clears things up..

When I click Windows+X There's no Command Prompt option :(
Any other suggestions?

I was having this same problem and I went to the command prompt and did ipconfig /flushdns and that fixed the problem I was having. good luck!

Hi Erik, Glad to know that worked for you.. Thanks for taking your time and letting us know about it.

You are Welcome David !!!

Still not working . Showing the same message Dns_probe_finished_nxdomain.
Ping to 4.4 still receiving data. But chrome and IE couldn't connect to the internet

Hi, for me, its not for a certain website, its a certain time. When I use the brower, after about 15 mins, any new tabs I try to open or refresh will show DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN and I have to off and on my wifi on my computer to be able to load the browser again. Tried setting IPV4 to automatic, or the servers stated and all didn't work. Please help!! T.T

Thanks a lot it worked perfectly

I tried each step, and none has worked for me. Any other suggestions?

thx a lot

Second method worked perfectly. I tried the first method but it asked me to "run as administrator" even though I am using my administrator account as I am the only user on this laptop and am always logged in as the administrator (a situation I find very frustrating sometimes)-none-the-less thank you very much for providing this online advice. Cheers

I used the second method and it worked! Thanks :)

Didnt work :\ I tried all but i cant fix it :(

i have the same isssue man,

Me too.

thanks
work like charm .

Thank you so much ! Love your tone

Done both methods, still same error. tried delete and reinstall Chrome (install only works with chromestandalonesetup.exe). still chrome gets no site, tho Edge does. tried with firewall off, no change.

You are welcome Allan.

You are Welcome CYBCYB. have a good day.

ipconfig /flushdns (Does not require reboot)

Thank you so much. Works

Can somebody help me I got this error one day I went on google chrome. Every fix imaginable doesn't work. Plz help me the internet was fine before this random bs error came

why I cant click " properties button " in second method ?

Me too

Thanks Mate, 2nd method works.

Forget wifi connection then reenter wep/wap key, fixex

When I do method 2 and right click on WiFi then properties and go to IPv4 to click properties it's grey and I can't click on it Idk what to do I've tried everything I could think of. Can you help?

I tried these things but I cant access when I click the internet protocol version 4(tcp/pv4)and click the properties they are showing to install a network adapter card what will I do plz give me a solution

I cant find my network icon as dumb as it seems... Where should i look?

I have a windows XP btw...

hi EVELINA, Go this, Open Command Prompt > Network and Internet > Network and Sharing Center > Change adapter settings.

There you will see all the networks. Hope this helps.

Is there a way to fix this without being the administrator? ie. your administrator oversees a very large company and is near impossible to get hold of.

hi victoria, changing DNS settings in method 2 probably don't need you to be admin. so try it and see if that helps.

How do I use the command prompt as a administrator?

Didn't work tried all steps even tried turning off firewall

I did try both methods, but still none of the browsers installed on my computer work. I usually use chrome, but also tried Explorer and Firefox. The error message they give days the server can't be found. Could it be a hardware issue? All other devices in our home connect to the Internet just fine.

Hi Homini, It can not be hardware issue. If you performed all the steps perfectly and still getting the error then please Run CCleaner on your PC and don't forget to check DNS Cache Box from the left pane.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for this! It was enough to tip me off as to what my problem was. Even after updating the DNS record to include the domain name of my mail server, I was still getting this error in Google Chrome. It didn't work until I ran the following commands from my workstation:

ipconfig /flushdns
ipconfig /registerdns

Thanks again!

Ive triied everything andstill no luck. I cant get on the internet so i cant download Ccleaner. Ive literly triied everything mentioned here and more with no luck. Any suggestions?

wonderful and many many thanks for this guidance....

both the solutions are not working for me.. .. in step 4 i am having problem . i have selceted the option internet protocol version 4(tcp/ip4) and when i am clicking on properties it is showing the msg "enable and install your network adapter card". but already i am using updated network drivers. please help me in this issue... if install new os will this problem be solved?????? i am not interested to keep new os because all my apps will go away....

Non of the methods worked, infact i cant even re-install chrome because all of my internet explorers dont work! Internet explorer says this "make sure the web address http://www.google.com is correct. Look for the page with your search engine. Refresh the page in a few minutes.

Thank you so much for this!! This happened to me today but following your instructions fixed it. So thanks again!

None of the methods worked for me. (Strangely, I could VPN into my work network without problems and could access the internet via my work's proxy server. This worked via wi-fi only, without the ethernet cable plugged in.) I tried the methods here and others I found on the internet, but no luck. What did work for me: 1) I deleted - as opposed to disabling or uninstalling - the network controller driver. 2) I reinstalled the driver from Windows Update.

last thing of unchceking the the IP Version 6 worked thanks for help

I spoke (wrote) a little too soon. I had to do the same steps above with my wireless adapter. Somehow the drivers of both the ethernet and wireless adapters got corrupted at the same time. Luckily I had the VPN setup that wasn't corrupted. That allowed me the internet access I needed to download and install the necessary drivers. I'm guessing that most would not be as lucky.

Method 2 worked for me, thanks.

thanks dude.....it worked ...thank u very much....

tnx alot sir

does it rlly

Thank you very much for sharing this information, worked perfectly! Appreciate people sharing information like this on the internet. :)

it can't work bro.......

i doesn't work

After doing that, here is another error "Your access has been blocked by firewall policy 120. " please help.

TKS. PROBLEM SOLVED THANKS TO YOU

Hi,

The internet has recently stopped working on my laptop. I have tried Googling solutions and tried many different ways to try and fix the internet but it still doesn't work. It doesn't work on any browser, and all websites don't work. However, the internet still works on other devices connected to the same network.

I tried Method 2 of Changing DNS settings, but when it came to Steps 4 and 5, I became stuck. I clicked on "Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)" but it did not allow me to click on "Properties" or "Uninstall", only "Install".

I believe this is a problem to do with my network settings since it is not a website nor browser problem, and other devices can access the internet using the same network. This was caused when I tried downloading a game torrent, but multiple viruses and additional programs were installed along with the game. I have since uninstalled all programs using "appwiz.cpl", and cleaned the laptop with AdwCleaner, but still cannot fix this problem.

I am hoping you have a solution to this problem. I am happy to discuss further and provide you with details of my laptop settings if needed.

Hope to hear from you soon.


Kind regards,
Michael

Hi Michael, Please make sure you have a Active Connection.

Please refer to steps 3,4 and 5 above. Let me know if you are still struggling to get this fixed using our Contact Form

Tks m8 fixed here

doesnt work

Also there's a faster way to flush the DNS. Instead of typing all that, you can type ipconfig /flushdns in the first section

First method worked perfectly

Thanks so much.Method 2 worked perfectly. Bless you. Thanks again!

work!!! thanks dude

try this;

After step 5 on method 2

1). click "advance..."
2). click "DNS" tab"
3). make sure it says
"8.8.8.8" and
"8.8.4.4" only. (if there's any other values for DNS delete them)
4). check "use this connection's DNS suffix in DNS registration"
5). done. close and restart your browser.

Dear fixerrs
İ dont know how much my case is related to the topic. Here it is. I got a samsung note 5. I recently have updated it to the latest marshmellow 6.0.1 android. Everything is safe and sound now. However the problem is that since i live in iran i have to use kinds of proxy servers or vpn's in order to access my social network accounts, you know, facebook and stuff. As long as i had not updated my phone i could easily get connected through any sort of proxy applications and vpns. But from the moment i flashed the update in i started to lose access to them. My facebook app cannot refresh and whenever i try to get connected through the chrome and the like i see the dns error. Id be grateful if you could help.
Regards
Kayhan

i've done all that and now i'm re-installing chrome but it can't be,help me..

I had this problem and switched my laptop off and on again.
I'm not fibbing, the problem went away and I don't know why.

It worked! Thank you so much.

i tried everything but it doesnt work guys help meeeeee

Just what I needed. Thanks.

See all the plugins and antivirus are upadated.

Thank you so much. You are a hero to me. I had tried everything for a week and nothing was working. God bless your soul, sir

after seeing this error appearing and getting more frequent on my Surface Pro 4.. I finally worked out what was going on. It turns out that I had ethernet interface (on the dock) connected but actually connected to the internet over WIFI. It seems you get this error when you have both interfaces active but only one is connected to the internet. Solution was to disconnect/disable the ethernet interface while internet is via wifi.

Thank you for your Input.
