Hey how are you? I am hooked up via Ethernet and internet works well with my laptop, just my desktop won't work. It opens browser, can't get to any website, and the error I get in chrome is "DNS_probe_finished_no_internet" but I could pong any website including 4.2.2.2 and get back perfect responses. I have no idea what to do, ran a bunch if a and and still not working and I can't even get norton to update nor any other scan service "registry mechanic, avast, malware bytes", and it's now saying that there is an instance of Firefox running when Firefox.exe isn't running and when I open that up through task manager, it says the same error message... Can you please help me out?

pings come back fine but nothing works in the browser...


If anyone can help please do!
 
First, did you reboot?

Then try an ipconfig /flushdns command at a DOS prompt.

If that does not help, run the ipconfig /all command on the system with the issue and also on the laptop that works and compare the two, they should be the same aside from the IP the computers have.
