Internet Just Went Out Webpages Says DNS Lookup Failed
Feb 15, 2013
Well first of all id say im pretty good at these types of things as they have happened to me so many times. But i cant figure this one out. Yesterday my internet just went out. All of the lights on the modem are still on everything says it should be connected but just doesnt work. When i try to open webpages it says DNS Lookup failed. Called tech support they are sending me a new modem atm, but i have 2 other ones around that i have tried and they say that im connected to the internet, but nothing same lookup error and everything so i do not think it is the modem. Flushed dns, manually entered the isps dns , Dont know what else to try at all.

My WLAN has been working fine for the past 6 months. Recently it started connecting and disconnecting itself. ANd now it will only connect to the network but wont give internet access. I can connect to the same router using an ethernet cord. And I can connect to the wireless network using my phone or other computer. There are no driver updates for my network adapter, and I tried reconfiguring the router. That worked for a short period of time, but now I have the same issue. I tried a system restore back to before a recent virus software update to see if maybe that update was causing the firewall to block something.

So I just got a new Acer ultrabook and it was working fine until a few days ago. It keeps saying the DNS lookup failed. I've tried everything I can. I made sure it wasn't chrome, doesn't work in Firefox. Reset the modem, did a DNS dump, set the DNS to a 888thing. Utorrent is connecting to the internet fine and I can connect for random periods of time. If I do trouble shoot over and over eventually it starts working. Everyone else in my house gets internet even my sister with the same computer and model.

dns lookup failed, on all web browser (IE, Google, Firefox). I did ip and winsock reset, did networking ins safe mode, it will ping my ip address but will not ping any other address. My computer (running Vista home premium) says that I have internet access but it does not work. This happened on one computer and then on another one about 6 days later and they both are wired to a router.

Iv had this problem with two wireless repeaters now. when im connected to just the router, i am able to access the internet. however when i plug in and set up the wireless repeater ( the latest one is a amped wireless sr300) it works for a few min and then i get a "DNS lookup failed" when trying to access sites. this repeater replaced a hawking hwren1. which would work for a few min and then lose the network.i believe this is a problem with our internet connection into the house, but could it be a caused by the router? (wrt400n) our isp says its not their problem and that its our router, but this is the 4th one in under a year.

I have a Windows XP laptop and a Windows 7 desktop. The desktop has no wifi support, I had built it myself. To get internet on my desktop (used for games), I had connected my laptop to the pc, and the laptop picked up wifi from my AT&T gateway in another part of the house. ( I can't move the gateway currently) I have been wanting to connect the desktop to a router/repeater/bridge that would pick up my gateway signal, therefore eliminating the use of the laptop. I also have an Xbox right next to the pc, so I din't want to get an adapter because then I would have to purchase two, so I picked up a a wireless n router with 4 ethernet ports. ( then I could connect both systems using 2 ethernet cables) [URL] I knew when purchasing the router that it had repeater/bridge support. Currently, I have it configured as a wifi bridge. I can connect to it via my laptop, on the wireless networks page, it shows my gateway signal, and the bridge/router, so I connect to the router. It says I have excellent connection, but I can't connect to the internet? Using Google Chrome, it says DNS lookup failed. I can't get on any website, only the router's config page, which is 192.168.1.1. I also connected the router to my pc, and when troubleshooting it says DNS server not responding, may be non existant or incorrect?

Whenever I try to goto a webpage within any browser,despite me being connected to my network(though 1 received packet to every 20 or so sent packet ratio) it tells me that DNS lookup failed. I had a similar issue on my other pc that I use more often,though connecting through WIFI momentarily resolved the issue,before I returning to wired,where everything has been fine. My other pc however has no wifi adapter. So ive been stuck.

I have just gone through hours of tech support with my ISP and still cannot seem to get online. Problem is the same as recent posts by jerguy1928, with message "DNS lookup failed...." coming up in Google Chrome. Both IE and FF just say cannot connect.Running Windows 7 on laptop. I have tried alt DNS settings (Google and others), all the CMD suggestions, disabling firewalls etc, etc! Other computer in house connects just fine.Ping works fine. Really, there appears to be no reason to not be able to connect - since I am actually connected!

I've been having an issue with my internet connection, which has been getting a lot worse over the past 1 month. I purchased the WRT120N about a year and a half ago, and occasionally observed dropped connections, but it was no big deal. Over teh past month or so, however, it seems like I get the "DNS lookup failed" error about every 15-30 minutes. Every time, I have to disconnect and reconnect my computer to my router. In addition, I will be disconnected from XBox Live. This problem may occur every 5 minutes or every few hours.
I have updated the firmware on the router. I have reset the router, and have reset DNS 1 t0 8.8.8.8 and DNS 2 to 8.8.4.4. THe network is configured as a DHCP. The X-Box has a wired connection, and my laptop experiences this problem whether I use a wired connection or a wireless one.

I recently deleted Speed Bit Video Accelerator manualy, because it couldn't uninstall itself. After deleting it, Windows 7 wouldn't display web pages in either Firefox or Internet Explorer. I'm currently posting this message in my old Windows Vista laptop, so it's not my internet connection

I've been having this problem for around two years on my current laptop, but today it finally got so frustrating I had to ask about it. I've tried and tried to search for others with a similar problem, but have never found a good solution. When my computer turns on and connects to an internet source (LAN or wifi), it will work fine indefinitely. However, if I join a different LAN or wireless network later, such as when I go from home to school, it will connect to the new network, but after a few minutes, I will be unable to load any web pages (Connection timed out).
Skype and email still work fine, and the only browser I use is firefox, so this may be a firefox-specific issue. If I reset the network adapter being used, then I will be able to load websites again, but after 2-30 minutes, I will run into the same issue and have to reset the adapter again. Joining a different network does not resolve the problem. Restarting firefox does not resolve the problem. Clearing the firefox cache is a temporary solution only, similar to resetting the network adapter. Restarting the computer entirely will result in no connection problems, until I have to change networks again.
Specs are below, and again, I connect to the internet using firefox 14.0.1 Tech Support Guy System Info Utility version 1.0.0.2 OS Version: Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium, Service Pack 1, 64 bit Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 CPU Q 720 @ 1.60GHz, Intel64 Family 6 Model 30 Stepping 5 Processor Count: 8 RAM: 4030 Mb Graphics Card: NVIDIA GeForce 310M, 512 Mb Hard Drives: C: Total - 464783 MB, Free - 133483 MB; Motherboard: TOSHIBA, Portable PC Antivirus: Microsoft Security Essentials, Updated and Enabled

Unable to access webpages and sometimes internet.I will be on my laptop which is the main computer I use (I usually use it wirelessly although I'm having the same problem now, even when I'm hardwired) and suddenly I can't access some or all websites. This isn't just normal dropping for a few seconds at a time, this can last for hours sometimes. Meanwhile, the desktop computer which is directly connected, doesn't have any problems at all.

My Internet is connected as I can load pages through my iPhone on my wireless signal BUT on my laptop the only page that will load is my UniSA home page and my Uni email - nothing else will load - I have tried Mozilla, IE & Safari and get the same response with all of them. Don't know if I have accidentally done something or what?

I have an internet connection but web pages will not load.I just brought my computer back home from college and installed an xavb1004 and it is working as i have tried other devices on it so I do not believe it is that. Also I have tried just about everything getting this to work including but not limited to winsock changing all the internet settings making sure no boxes are checked, changing my dns server disabling firewall and all the basic stuff.

I have moved into an apartment with 4 friends of mine. We all own HP 6515b Laptop running Windows 7. We connect to the internet through a wireless router. Our connection's name is LINKSYS and is WEP.Once i have connected to the internet, it will continue to work fine for a while. After some random time, it will disconnect.(The computer stays connected to the wireless modem, but computer shows NO INTERNET CONNECTIVITY (in bottom-right taskbar))Then in 5-6 seconds, it will start working again... The only change that is visible is that the exclamation mark on network disappears. The computer remains connected to router for this whole time. Initially we thought it was a problem of our ISP. But later we found out that at a time not all users face disconnection.So at a particular time, it is possible that only I cannot open webpages.

My internet at times fails to work. I will be browsing and webpages will fail to load until I wait 30sec or so and refresh the page a few times. This happens every 3ish minutes. However, I am still connected to wi-fi according to my computer and there is still internet access (at least it says). I can also disconnect from wi-fi and reconnect and the problem goes away momentarily.
I know this happens on Chrome and IE, so it is not the browser. And, the internet is just find on other computers at my house so I do not believe it is the router.

I bought my laptop 4 weeks ago. It has Windows 8 on it. It worked great until this week. At first, Google Chrome quit working. Then IE quit. I connect wirelessly. It says it is strong, but no Internet access. I do have connectivity on my phone to that router.

I have a Windows XP Laptop and an Windows 7 Starter Netbook. I have recently changed internet provider, returned the previous (Netgear) router and configured a new (D Link) router. Prior to the change of internet provider, both laptops could connect wirelessly without issues.After installing the new router provided by new internet provider, my Windows XP laptop can connect to the internet wirelessly without problems, the signal is strong and the speeds decent. My Windows 7 Netbook can connect to the network and to the internet, however, the speed on it is so low that pages do not load at all. Whilst it remains connected (the connection does not drop), it does not display web pages. Occasionally it displays a page or two, and it seems the problem is fixed, but this lasts no longer than a few minutes, after which it starts displaying "white" pages again. When the connection to the router is wired, the problem disappears and I can access the internet and the pages load well, so the problems is strictly a Wi Fi connectivity issue.
The Windows 7 Starter Netbook that has this problem at home, connects to every single other network I have had the chance to test it on (at work, at internet cafes, at my parents, at my sisters) and it also used to work flawlessly with my home network before I changed internet provider. On all other networks, it works really well.The new (D Link) router seems to work, otherwise my Windows XP laptop would also be having problems... but it doesn't.So both the new (D Link) router and my Windows 7 Starter Netbook work well separately. They just don't work together!I have tried a number of things: restarting the Netbook, restarting the router, re-installing Windows 7 Starter completely, disabling the network adapter and re-enabling it, updating the network driver, unprotecting the network completely, disabling Windows Firewall, disabling antivirus,changing the channels on the router, placing quartz crystals next to both devices and chanting. Below, I am pasting IP Config files showing the details of the settings in both devices (the one that works and the one that doesn't). As far as settings on the router is concerned, I have checked that they are the basic default ones that technical support are recommending.
IP Config of Windows XP Laptop that WORKS WELL:
Windows IP Configuration
Host Name . . . . . . . . . . . . : myhomelaptop
Primary Dns Suffix . . . . . . . :
Node Type . . . . . . . . . . . . : Unknown
IP Routing Enabled. . . . . . . . : No
WINS Proxy Enabled. . . . . . . . : No

Applications such as skype, teamviewer, etc, are all working fine, however, when I try to load certain webpages, such as Facebook and forum boards, they don't load, just stay white screen.
Youtube, google, both load, I imagine this is because they're both on the Google servers, apart from any Google related sites, I can't find any that will load for me.
I think this is a problem wth my DNS addresses, I've tried a range of solutions, clearing my DNS, changing my IPv4 address, restarting the router, PC, but I can't seem to find a fix.
Running on windows 7 Home premium
NOTE: I had the Metropolitan police virus yesterday, I did a system restore to remove it, my internet worked fine after, it's only since I've moved from the router at my other house, to the one here that I'm having problems.

First few attempts to load a web page after a reboot are okay, then it begins to stall with no error, or sometimes an "empty response" error message. I simply cannot load web pages. Checking mail sometimes stalls. When this happens, the Thunderbird process hangs around after I've exited the application using 50% cpu. I didn't discover this until just recently. Even when connecting to my own router 1 hop away, the admin web page timed out. Other things like downloading software updates and online help seem to be unaffected. FTP connection sometimes stalls. SSH takes forever (~10 seconds) to get a login prompt. Connecting directly to the cable modem has no effect. No other PC in my home has any problem getting online. I've tried changing DNS servers with no luck. Same problems with Ubuntu running in a virtual box in Windows. I can get online in Safe Mode. During the malware detection there was a question about my proxy settings, which showed up in a system scan, slowing me down. I didn't think that was contributing to the problem, but I've since deleted them and still no improvement. I just completed a round of malware detection in the other forum and my system appears clean, so I decided to come here and give it a shot.

My netbook keeps getting DNS Lookup Failure messages. This happens about every 20 minutes, give or take, though sometimes it can go longer before the failure. I can "solve" the problem by quickly repairing the network connection, but that's tedious. It happens only on my laptop and not on my housemate's desktop (wired connection) though he did say that it happens to him on his laptop as well. In looking around I thought the problem might be because i'm using Chrome, but it happens on Firefox and Opera as well.

I manage a small business with 10 computers running off my network. They are all connected to the internet through a RV016. We recently created a new website and purchased a new domain through In Motion Hosting. I have a randomly reoccuring issue, usually in the morning, that seems to resolve itself after a couple hours on it's own. I have dealt with tech support from In Motion Hosting and my ISP who have both come to the determination that the problem lies within my gateway.
When I attempt to log on to my companies website [URL] my browser is unable to locate the webpage. Also, if I try to access the website for In Motion Hosting [URL] or to access our webmail [URL]I am unable to do so because the DNS lookup failed. I can view any other web page on the internet without a problem. I can not ping or tracert either website successfully, however when I called In Motion Hosting and got the IP addresses for the two I was able to ping and tracert them without a problem.
As I said the problem happens randomly and seems to resolve itself within 2-8 hours. However we are unable to access our email during these "blackouts" which is becoming a huge problem.
Is there a setting within the RV016 that might be causing this to happen?

I was thrown into trying to fix a friends pc being told that the internet wasn't working.What I've found through some messing around is that I am able to pull up websites with the ip address but trying to use the domain name give a "Host Not Found". Similar error when trying to do a ping. However doing an nslookup will pull the ip's for a domain. I've done the dns flush, the netsh commands that are floating around to no avail.
