My internet connection keeps dropping every few hours but it still says im connected, sometimes it drops completely out though and say my ethernet cable is unplugged which it isnt and should work fine. Anyway when i troubleshoot the problem it says "The DNS server isnt responding" i checked the ipconfig /all command in the command prompt and it shows that i have a DNS ip and all that. But what is very weird is that i have no connection when using any browser or steam store but i can see and chat with my friends on steam. Also im using an ethernet cable since i dont have a wireless network card in my pc and i also have fine internet on my phone while using wi-fi.
Sorry for no formatting and potential grammar fails. Im on my phone ?
Solution: Going into Network Connection and properties on your connection and TCP/IPv4 properties and manually setting the DNS to use an adress that you type in "Use the following DNS server adress:
Preferred DNS server. 208.67.222.222
Alternate DNS server: 208.67.220.220
Now I actually did this to begin with but did what nobody who works with IT should do. I wrote 208.67.222.222 in both places and got an error message, but without reading it and giving up I closed it immediately. It told me that there cannot be two of the same DNS server IP's funny enough, so rip 4 hours of offline gaming that could have went online FeelsBadMan
