I've tried many things posted in this forum to resolve this issue but to no avail. My computer will connect to the local network but not to the Internet and when clicking diagnose and repair it says it cannot communicate with primary DNS server (85.255.112.151)

"Cannot connect to primary DNS server".I've read tons of posts discussing this subject from it being an issue with the laptop's motherboard to simply changing your IP address but nothing has worked. This isn't the first time I've had the issue also this is about the 5th time its happened and the first few times I was able to simply Configure my laptop to an earlier date and it went away or restarting but not anymore, last month it happened and it took two weeks of not messing with my laptop for it to go away.I have two other computers that are desktops that can connect to the internet still just my laptop wont no interweb love for my laptop T-T.

We managed to get my xbox connected and my laptop connected via the wifi which was great, but my girlfriends laptop came up with the error message:Cannot connect with Primary DNS server(84.13.241.126)I found another thread with a similar problem and stuck in a DNS sever address the same as our IP address which is as above but still it didn't have any effect.It also mentioned Network Diagnostics pinged the remote host but did not recieve a response. The ipconfig for the vista laptop is as follows:

I will be connected to the internet and then it seems at random i will lose connection. It says Im still connected to the network and I have 5 bars however it says im not connected to the internet. When I trouble shoot the connection it says that I cannot connect to the primary DNS server. This is occurring on all devices wired and wireless that are connected to this network. I have updated the firmware on my wireless router but not on my modem since COX has to do that.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have an older Compaq CQ50-215NR with the dreaded Atheros 5007 Wi-Fi. I get the error message Cannot Connect to Primary DNS Server when I try to connect to the internet wirelessly. When plugged directly into the router, it works just fine. But when I try to connect thru a wireless connection, it does not work. First, it gave me that error message, and I went thru all of the potential fixes on other threads, and it still didn't work. Now when I try to connect, it simply says that it cannot connect.

I have a dell inspiron 1420 and sometimes the internet is fine and then it doesnt work at all and says cannont connect to primary dns server. Also i ran a diagnostics on my wlan wireless card and it says gateway ip ping, internet ip ping, and dns ip ping all failed. The wireless says it has 5 bars but I usually have to disconnect and reconnect for it to work and it only works for about 15 seconds before it slows down again

The problem is that surfing the internet has gone all kinds of wrong. Every page takes at least 20 secs to open and the response to online games has the same, or even more, delay. Checking my emails also takes quite some time.I tried connecting through the ethernet cable & the wireless connection(not at the same time). I even tried making a static ip. Same results, i can't seem to browse.
I recently set up our new Cisco Linksys E1000 router (we originally had a Belkin, but it is dying). It works perfectly fine on my desktop. However, there is only a "local connection" on my mom's laptop, a Toshiba Satellite running Vista. Diagnosis: Cannot Communicate with Primary DNS Server (68.105.28.12). I've read a bunch of other posts on many websites but so far nothing has worked.

View 5 Replies View RelatedProblem: No internet connection. 'Can't communicate with primary DNS server'Information: I am using a Windows 7 64 laptop (LAN connection) to connect to the internet. Two days ago this stopped working (after working fine for 3 months). Using windows troubleshoot I receive the message 'Can't communicate with primary DNS server'. I have checked the IPv4 and IPv6 and they are all set to automatic.I then tried to reset this using Microsoft 'fix it solution' as indicated Can't communicate with Primary DNS Server this still had no luck.I have also tried,
Reset WINSOCK entries to installation defaults: netsh winsock reset catalog
Reset IPv4 TCP/IP stack to installation defaults. netsh int ipv4 reset reset.log
Reset IPv6 TCP/IP stack to installation defaults. netsh int ipv6 reset reset.log
and ipconfig/ release and ipconfig/ renew none of this has made any difference. I can successfully ping the default gateway but cannot ping google. All packets time out.Additional information: Using an older laptop I am able to successfully connect to the internet on the same line. Also the laptop that is not working does work fine at work. So I don't even know if the problem is with the hub or the laptop.
My wireless connection showed connected but Internet Explorer kept showing the page cannot be displaced. When I clicked the diagnose connection problems, the message kept coming back with "Cannot communicate with primary DNS server (65.32.5.111)".

It will connect to our home network (virgin media cable broadband) locally but won't connect to the internet. I've tried a few of the fixes I've read on here such as changing the DNS settings myself but it's going nowhere.I can connect to other networks for example my parents virgin media network and the other laptops and my ps3 can all connect to our internet just fine so I really don't understand why mine isn't working.When I diagnose the problem it says "Cannot communicate with Primary DNS Server (194.168.4.100)" and underneath it says "Network diagnostics pinged the remote host but did not receive a response"

View 7 Replies View RelatedI'm having a bit of trouble connecting to the internet on my desktop. Basically, my desktop computer, running windows 7, wired connection via LAN, is having trouble connecting to the internet. It appears to be connected to the internet (all indicators are "green light"), but when I attempt to open a browser, for example, there is no response. After running a diagnosis, I found this: Windows can't communicate with the device or resource (Primary DNS server). The strange thing is that our apartment wireless network works just fine. I looked around on here for a solution, but all were entertaining laptops with wireless connections. My IPs are set to automatic as well.

- not the router
- not the internet

I got an internet from provider (which is LAN cable sticking from the wall) - and it works fine when I connect via LAN cable - when I write the IP Address, Subnet Mask, Default Gateway, and DNS servers on the LAN adapter and create a PPPoE connection with username and password. I want to do the same but wirelessly. I have an ASUS RT-N10 LX wi-fi router - and connected the cable from the provider to the WAN slot on the router. Then I have accessed the router from my laptop [URL] - and configured everything as it was on my laptop.
IP Adddress: 192.168.17.191
Submask: 255.255.252.0
Default Gateway: 192.168.16.1
DNS1: 192.168.1.250
DNS1: 192.168.1.10
Wireless network works fine, the default gateway is pinging - but DNS servers are not accessible. As a result no internet connection available ( Moreover - when I want to ping the DNS (ping 192.168.1.250) - I tries to get a response from other location 192.168.1.3
So whenever I put my desktop to sleep and then turn it back on, I cannot connect to the internet. My laptops are fine and can connect to the internet w/ the wireless however.When I have windows diagnostic run a troubleshoot and repair, it tells me it can't communicate w/ the primary DNS server and that resetting the Local Area Connection will fix it (And it does).If I restart the computer, it seems to fix this problem as well.I don't get why it can't communicate w/ the DNS and that I have to manually reset the LAC everytime I turn on the computer from sleep mode.

Router - Linksys WRT54G v.3, Cable modem Cisco 2100 Cable Modem (Scientific Atlantic DPC 2100)
The modem works when directly connected to a computer, however, once connected to a computer, we cannot plug it into another computer without turning the modem off and on again (I don't remember ever having to do that). Also, the modem is supposed to be able to run ethernet on one computer and USB on another computer. We can get both initially, but as soon as you use one, the will not work. Below is an ipconfig/all

Fix the issue in my connection..It says cannot communicate to primary DNS Sever 192.168.1.1 the router for my internet is beside me im connected locally but no internet connection.
View 7 Replies View RelatedAbout every 20 minutes, my internet connection, which otherwise runs well, just drops out randomly. When I diagnose the problem, it tells me "Cannot communicate with Primary DNS Server (50.30.208.77)." If I leave it alone, it corrects itself after a couple of minutes, but I can also reset the local area connection and that will get things working again as well. This started a few days ago, and I was hoping it would just go away, but it has not. To reiterate, my connection is fine for about 20 minutes at a time, but then it will just drop out for seemingly no reason. I don't use wi-fi, I'm connected via an ethernet cable to an outlet on my wall. I've tried different cables and the problem persists, so I don't believe it has to do with a faulty cable. I didn't change anything about my hardware or software the day this problem sprung up. [code]
