Routers / Switches :: Primary DNS Server Is Not Responding?
Jun 19, 2012
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.
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
I have this LinkSys by Cisco Wireless-N gigabit model# WRT310N router that quit functioning in a weird way. (it has Wi-Fi protected setup on it, not sure if that would effect it, it's disabled) I have a friend in the condo above mine, but i have a Dial-Up internet conn and can afford a good broadband internet conn. a co-worker gave this router to me, saying he didn't need it for his network at home. It was still in original box, unopened, So it was intact. i set it up so i can play Age of Empires 1 (you probably haven't heard of it, it's a single player or Multi-player TCP/IP comp-to-comp game from '96) and i used a gigabit wired conn, he used wireless-N laptop. We played a few games, on the 4th game, it locks up about 12 mins into the game. we try again, the comp not even recognize each other. Knowing a little about networking from watching the IT guys at work, i tried the PING command in cmd.exe in vista, it will ping the router, not the other laptop. same thing on the other laptop pinging my desktop. i unplugged the router, and went to sleep.Next day, i got back from work, called the friend, plugged the router back in, and it work for another 14 mins, no ping. possibilities? the LinkSys website doesn't give answers, so what is it?Further Edit: my Gigabit conn is going through a 3 ft CAT5e cable, and the wireless-N trans rate is set to 130 Mbps.
My buffalo link station 3t was giving me problems due to avg firewall blocking access to my drive. so switched it off to work . now that the drive is working but now when i click to access the drive the back ground on the desktop goes black on windows 7 its a acer laptop and the graphics are blurey.
I have a pair of ASA5520s in active/active failover - this works fine. Both primary and secondary ASAs are running 8.2(2) code.I have a 30-day temp 50 seat SSL license that I applied to the primary. I then started having problems with L2L tunnels.
I noted that if the 'show crypto isakmp sa' state for an L2L was MM_STANDBY, then the remote protected net could not reach my side. However, I could ping across to the other side at which time the state changed to MM_ACTIVE as I would expect and the remote could then reach my side.
I believe this results from the differences between the two licenses. When I applied the 50 seat SSL lic. it disabled failover, but I was willing to risk that for a few days to do show my customer the benifits of SSL connectivity. Note license differences. Is this causing the MM_STANDBY IKE issue and if so can I overcome it and use the 50 SSL VPN Peers lic.
I no longer have my netwk admin and i moved the server to my residence and i also have the pcs that logged on.i booted the servers up and connected the pcs using a router but can't log on im using a verizon wireless router can i get rid of that since i dont want to have it on the internet.
Recently i changed internet service provider and i went up to a 24 Mbps line, though i can only reach a 8 Mbps service due to my location.
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.
I had my broadband installed and activated and I'm using my laptop with vista I've used it before with wireless Broadband and was fine but now I'm having trouble using the Internet, wifi is on and it is showing as connected to the router but when I open the web browser it is unable to connect, I used diagnostics and it comes up with the following:Cannot communicate with primary DNS server 194.168.4.100
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)
Problem: 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)".
I'm having an absolute nightmare trying to get my laptop to connect to the internet. 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"

"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.
Cannot connect with Primary DNS server(84.13.241.126)I have recently got broadband in my new flat. 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'm having issues connecting to the Internet through my netgear router. The other laptops in the house work fine so I'm sure it's an issue with the setting on my laptop that are the issue. It connects to the router, tries to identify, them says unidentified and remains at a local only connection.The error says: cannot connect with primary dns server(192.168.2.1). Windows cannot resolve it itself.
i can't connnect to the internet wirelessly, i am able to with ethernet cable. i am able to connect to other networks with the computer. Reason i say it is a problem with one of my computers, is i am able to connect to the same internet with 4 other computers wirelessly. it is just this one computer. the computer is a HP Pavillion notebook 6000 series
I recently got new comcast internet installed on my PC and now i want to add a router but when i connect the router i keep getting the same error message, "Cannot communicate with primary DNS server" It also says it tried to ping but did not recieve or something like that. When i connect straight from the modem to the PC it works perfect but when i add the router it does not.[CODE]
I'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.
I have recently gotten a Virgin Super Hub router and everyone in the house is able to connect to the internet fine except me. I have a Toshiba laptop with Windows Vista running on it. I am able to connect locally to the network however it lists it as an "unidentified network" and when I try to diagnose the problem I receive notifications such as "Cannot communicate with primary DNS server 194.168.4.100" and "Network Diagnostic pinged remote host but did not receive a response. When I have a cable plugged into the router and my laptop I am able to connect but on a separate network "Network 3".
Wireless laptop works but desktop will not connect to Internet. Was working yesterday. Tried to use Windows repair using Reset the network adapter "local area connection'. Received the following. Windows tried to repair a problem but still exists. Cannot connect with Primary DNS Server (75.75.76.76).
I am trying to hook my desktop up to my wireless router via Ethernet cable. The wireless Internet works great and my housemate's laptop works with an Ethernet cable. I have already contacted my service provider but to no avail. I have no idea where to start
One of our laptops won't connect to the internet via wireless, gives a "Cannot communicate with Primary DNS Server (192.168.1.20)" error. It works fine when plugged in via ethernet, and all our other computers connect to wireless just fine.
The wireless is set to acquire DNS automatically in the TCP/IP IPv4 properties. I've tried to flush DNS, reset IPv4 and reset Winsock with no luck.
I tried to connect to the Internet this morning on my Windows Vista, but it wouldn't work. My router seems to be fine (I can connect on all the other computers in the house.), and it shows that I'm connected to the network but not the Internet. After running Diagnose and Repair, I got this message:"Cannot communicate with Primary DNS Server(192.168.2.1). Network diagnostics pinged the remote host but did not receive a response." [code]
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.
My laptop will not connect through my router anymore. I'm getting the message ( Cannot communicate with Primary DNS server (192.168.1.254). It works fine with an ethernet cable. I have a WII that uses the router also and I can watch a Netflix movie on it so the router seems to be working. My desktop computer is working fine through a DSL connection. The laptop is a Gateway and is running Vista.
when trying to connect to my home wireless network i get an error saying "windows cannot communicate with the primary dns server" all other computers in the hosue can connect without issue.
- not the router - not the internet - reconfigured router (didn't work) - dns is on automatically obtain - computer i am using now is connected to same network - flushed dns several times (didn't work) - rewrote tcp/ip registry keys - uninstalled all PCI related drivers
I was able to connect this mornin, and suddenly it just didn't work. I checked and it said DNS server isn't responding. tried using the Open DNS 208.67.222.222, 208.67.220.220 But it is still not working and showing the same error.
I have a problem with my internet. Not so long time ago I bought new TOSHIBA laptop with Windows 7. At the start everything was OK but after few days internet connection started struggling. Troubleshoot says that DNS server is not responding.There are a couple others laptops on the same network and it seems that just me have this problem.The problem - Skype, torrents are working OK. The problem is with connection to internet sites via my internet browser. It doesn't matter it's IE, Mozilla or Google Chrome, I have the problem with all of them. Sometimes the problem disappears and everything is working OK but usually I have the problem and can't connect to one or other site.
I've take a lot of measures so far to try to resolve this but I believe I have changed a lot of essential things in the process. I am running Windows 7 and my antivirus software is McAfee. [code]
