So a couple of days ago I log on my computer and try to open Steam (gaming program) and it says unable to connect to servers (Error -105). So I try to look it up on Google Chrome and apparently chrome is not working either it comes up with an error message that says "DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN" I look up the error and it tells me to flush dns, restart etc... But none of those work. So I go on my other browser Microsoft edge and I can browse everything and go on websites. So chrome and steam wont work but Microsoft edge will. I have internet this whole time via Ethernet. So I am connected to the internet but steam and chrome wont work but edge will. So I tried to delete chrome and download it again from edge but when I try to install it wont work it says I need to be connected to internet. So I went to another computer in my house that was wireless to see if it worked and it worked. So I try to hardline it from the router and it did not work so steam and chrome wont work when It is connect not wireless. I have changed the router but still the same issue. So wireless everything works but wired steam and chrome don't work. And btw it says I'm connected to steam because I can chat with my friends and see them but I can not play online.

Please Help!!!!!!!

Hi,

Steam use's Google chrome for it's inbuilt store browser and so this is why you're having issues with both chrome and steam but not another browser like Edge.

I would ask if you could try and install Firefox and see if you have the same issue or not, this would help me to investigate the issue.

Anyway, goto install programs and un-install Google Chrome, after that goto Edge and follow this link:

https://www.google.com/chrome/browser/desktop/index.html?standalone=1

This chrome download does not require internet (ofcourse to download) but it is an offline installer so won't need the internet to install.

I would also ask that you flush your steam cache. You can do this by following the instructions on this page...
